I have both get_iplayer and BBC iPlayer installed. Neither will download.
BBC iPlayer says
A problem occurred while downloading this programme
And when
Code:
get_iplayer 46 --get --output ~/Videos/BBC iPlayer/ --modes flashvhigh1
is run, get_iplayer gives this output

I am trying to download a programme from the BBC iplayer, using get_iplayer version 2.48. I get an error message saying that it needs rtmpdump >= 1.5, or flvstreamer. I have rtmpdump version 1.4 installed, but can't find either rtmpdump>=1.5 or flvstreamer for opensuse (11.1).

INFO: 1 Matching Programmes
INFO: Checking existence of default version
ERROR: Failed to get iphone URL from iplayer site[code]....
What do I need to do to get this to work?
Has anyone got the iPlayer desktop working in 11.1? iPlayer works if I watch the file by streaming live online but if I choose to download the file nothing happens.
If I try start iPlayer desktop nothing happens except a small box or something flashes up on the screen very quickly before disappearing and I get a BBC process in the process list.
I have Adobe Air 1.5 installed, flash player 10.0.31.18 insatlled and the latest BBC iPlayer desktop (cannot remember version).
Get_iplayer worked very well for me under opensuse 11.2. After installing opensuse 11.3 it continued to work very well with the exception of STREAMING live BBC channels. These do not work at all. It seems the "modes" I am and have been using are not recognised. I use gnome and installed codecs using codecs_gnome.ymp for suse 11.3. I have no problem with any of the multimedia applications I use.

I've just "changed" from Ubuntu Karmic to Linux Mint8 KDE 64Bit. I am trying to get the BBC Iplayer Desktop working. I have managed to install Adobe Air and thats it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedRecently (after the new version iPlayer was released I guess) I have been unable to download IPlayer content. On going to download, the IPlayer screen offers to install the IPlayer Desktop app, tries to install Air (already installed via Software Centre) and fails with a message like "A download error occurred. Try to download again?". Repeating just loops around to the same error message.
This happens on both my PC and laptop - both running Lucid. Have tried uninstalling the Iplayer app and Air, but still the same happens. Any suggestions, or do I have to wait for the Beeb to get it sorted?
Installing on 10.10 64-bit works fine following the instructions on url. The BBC Desktop functions well once I reenabled KWallet.
My problem is that when I refresh the repositories the BBC Desktop is reported as broken, and the reason seems to be that AdobeAir does not show as installed in Synaptic. It does not matter if I install AdobeAir using .deb or .bin, it still is not reported as installed. Any ideas about how to make AdobeAir show as installed?
I'm sure this used to work, but I don't think I've changed anything. When I try to "listen live" to BBC radio, I just get silence. I get a moving flash thingy, gently rotating, but no sound.
I'm using Squeeze with Iceweasel 3.5.16. It's got adobe flash, plus flashblock and noscript but I've said to temporarily allow all on the page and clicked the flash thingy. I get sound from ..... fine, and I can play all sorts of sound files usually. There's another radio station I can stream ok but it appears to be using a totem plugin rather than flash.
At first I thought iplayer was blocking me cos I'm outside the UK, but then I tried it on another machine with Win7 and IE, and that worked. My user agent says Firefox so it shouldn't be complaining about Iceweasel I guess. I also tried Epiphany but it just says "Sorry, your phone does not support BBC iPlayer."
I use addon from Mozilla Firefox to download video from dailymotion, but sometime can suddenly stop downloading, then it can not resume. Are there software that run under Linux that can download video from dailymotion and can resume it, if downloading suddenly stop?
View 5 Replies View RelatedSometimes in BBC iPlayer - Bigscreen the fullscreen video does not open on top, and then none of the lirc remote control commands (irxevent) function, not even Escape (nor Alt-TAB, which would bring the fullscreen on top if I used the keyboard - but sitting in the TV couch I would prefer using the remote only).
This often happens on my SuSE 10.2 partition, especially when wanting to resume a video, but never happens on my Kubuntu 9.10 partition. Both are 32-bit using KDE 4.3.5 Firefox 3.5.8 and Adobe Flash 10,0,45,2.
How can I get the fullscreen on top??

My normal windowing operations are fine. I have no problems running parallel kde desktop sessions (1 user, 1 root), switching back and forth with ease. I have been able to get vnc remote connections to work, but the only desktop environment I can get to run twm. When I try to start kde it fails with:
startkde: Starting up...
kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib64/libkdeinit4_klauncher.so
kdeinit4: Communication error with launcher. Exiting!
Communication error with KInit.
startkde: Could not start ksmserver. Check your installation.
Which is weird because:
> which ksmserver
/usr/bin/ksmserver
I have this in my .vnc xstartup:
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
/usr/bin/startkde
I've read several related vnc threads. It appears to me I have a more general X11 setup failure, but at this point I'm lost.
I've just had Ubuntu installed on my machine and still finding my way around - What do I need to do to ensure the full size screen of Iplayer stays full size? At the moment I get about 5 mins viewing time and then it returns to its default size. Additionally no activity with the cursor or keypad turns my screen blank. I'm sure it just a setting somewhere that I need to tweek.

I have a problem with the BBC iplayer. I've upgraded ubuntu to 10.04 and iplayer has stopped working. The iplayer desktop refuses to run, both when the desktop (or menu item) is clicked, and also when a download is clicked on the iplayer site. I've tried uninstalling AdobeAir, and reinstalling. Also, I've completely removed AdobeAir and Iplayer and reinstalled. Still nothing. I'm running 10.04 on a Lenovo 3000 N200 with an Intel Centrino dual core. Flummoxed I'm flummoxed.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've tried installing the BBC iplayer desktop, and am currently working my way through the maze of adobe air installer etc.
I wondered if it is possible to view the downloaded programs in a different viewer. I've got both Movie Player and VLC media player installed, but they will both only play for 1/2 second, then the program closes.
Is it possible, or must I persevere with BBC desktop iplayer ?
can anyone else whos installed 64bit lucid 10.04 build check to see if bbc iplayer or media clips play ? i've got the following installed:
flashplugin-installed
flashplugin-nonfree
but media clips from [url] just seem to be static, pressing on the play now button has no effect. videos media and general flash seems to be fine, just nothing from the bbc.
Just got my EeePC installed with the latest release of ubuntu netbook and have used update manager to get the system to the latest versions including the latest Adobe flash player.
I'm having problems with BBC iPlayer though. When I watch in full screen mode, it only lasts for 10 minutes then reverts back to the Firefox browser.
I am looking at ripping the audio from a very old episode of 'In Our Time'. The episode is so old that it predates the podcast (which of course, would solve all my problems). I would like to use something like icecream or VLC to rip the audio from the 'Listen Now' link on this page. Unfortunately I am having a hard time finding the actual URL. The player itself is a Flash widget, so it is something more complicated than looking for OGG, mp3 or RAM file extensions in the page source. If there are some nifty command flags I should add when invoking icecream on the command line, I am all ears.

I've attempted some of the suggestions and either I've had difficulties following instructions (noob alert!) or the solution didn't work for another reason. any offers on improving online playback, in particular; should I get a new graphics card, what would be my best option with limited funds (<50) when I want to be able to watch streams online smoothly but not play games/edit video.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am using 11.4 on a brand new computer. The original beta version of Firefox had flickering images when using something like the BBC's iPlayer to stream material. Upgrading to the latest version of Firefox fixed this. However, another problem, a virtually frozen stream when maximising the screen, has not been cured. At the same time, the Esc button to click out of the fullscreen image doesn't instantly work -I have to punch it several times! I switched over keyboards, but the problem remained.

Anyone successfully installed AIR and iPlayer on F11?
I've switched to 32 bit Adobe flash, tried Autoten for AIR and Dangermouse's advice for iPlayer: url.html but it's not working, and trying to install AIR from url results in an endless busy downloading graphic .
I assume my problem is a lack of required packages, though I searched the repositories using YUM extender for the packages listed here: url.html and can't see them either as installed or available.

View 12 Replies View RelatedI am using Mepis 8 and ever since the upgrade I have noticed that the screen saver takes over the screen even if a programme is running. This happens even whether the programme is in a window or the full screen.
Now I am quite sure this did not happen before the OS upgrade when it was underneath the running programme. At the moment the only solution I have is to active the screen saver at something like 120 minutes!
Incidentally I also notice that you cannot not have a screen saver. The minimum is a blank screen.
Do anyone know if it is possible to make the screen saver run in the background? Of course this may be a KDE problem.
