get_iplayer forums

I see that the BBC have broken listing feeds, but in the release notes for 2.93, "For the moment, radio listing feeds are unaffected". But it does not seem so on my machine.

Could this be a new outside-UK restriction? Previously, TV iplayer was restricted to UK IP addresses, but the rest of the world (like me) could get radio. I do that. But it seems to have stopped working.

For example:

Code:
$ ./get_iplayer --type=radio --pid=b01ghlh2 -o gip_dir

ERROR: Failed to get version pid metadata from iplayer site

I am using Linux Mint 17.1 with get_iplayer 2.94 downloaded from ftp://ftp.infradead.org/pub/get_iplayer/....94.tar.gz
I just extracted get_iplayer and run that.

Am I doing something dumb, or am I just locked out?

Thanks

Install the XML::Simple Perl module. Read the installation guide in the wiki.

Thank you, and sorry to have wasted your time!

I had installed libxml-libxml-simple-perl, which seemed to match what it says in
https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplay...stallation
-> https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/manual
but it didn't change the message about installing XML::Simple. But I only used the URL option, and it still worked fine (until this week) so I didn't worry about that message.

I also ran

Code:
cpanm LWP MP3::Info MP3::Tag Authen::SASL Net::SMTP::SSL Net::SMTP::TLS::ButMaintained XML::Simple

and it didn't make a difference, but what fixed it was:

Code:
eval

perl -I ~/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib`
echo 'eval

Code:
perl -I ~/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib

' >> ~/.profile`

The drought is now over... until the next one.

That wasn't the correct package. You needed libxml-simple-perl. They haven't done you any favours with the package naming. In general, Mint users should follow the Ubuntu/Mint installation instructions in the wiki. Even if you are later required to update the get_iplayer script itself for some reason, all the dependencies will be taken care of. The PPA is kept up to date, though, so that shouldn't be the case.
