Downloading embedded videos from blogposts

user-851

Hi,

I'd like to download videos on blog posts (e.g. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/adamcurtis/en...820a7c6a59 ) for watching later.

Is it possible to use get_iplayer for these videos? I tried looking through the DOM in order to identify the "PID", but couldn't find it, or any other features that I could use with get_iplayer.

Thanks.

You can use the blog address in your command and get_iplayer will try to find the PID from that

Code:
get_iplayer --modes=best "http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/adamcurtis/entries/5a7b18b5-0ec3-3d3e-a307-54820a7c6a59"

That will only get the first video on the page though.

You will need to sift through the page source to get the PIDs for the other videos.
