Will it be possible to record the English regional BBC One streams which have launched on iPlayer this week using a similar system to recording Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland?
Post the URLs for a few of the streams and I'll take a look
You can do this now if you get the PID for those channels. Start playing the regional stream of interest, then right-click on the flash player window. The pop-up will contain a line that looks like:
1700 kbps | HDS (akamai_hds) | bbc_one_channel_islands | 960x540
The third token is the PID for that channel. For example, to record for 30 minutes:
Code:
get_iplayer --type livetv --pid bbc_one_channel_islands --get --stop 00:30:00 --file-prefix="BBC One Channel Islands <dldate> <dltime>"
The
--file-prefix is necessary because get_iplayer doesn't know the name of the channel corresponding to that PID.
It seems like it would be possible to include those streams in get_iplayer, but no promises that it will be in next release.
Many thanks Dinky, those instructions work fine for me for now.
