We don't package iplayer, it comes from Ubuntu.

Thanks Jerry - I have corrected reply #2 accordingly.

64bit OS (32-bit on Samsung netbook) installed in Legacy mode on MBR-formatted SSDs (except pi which uses a micro SDHC card):
2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ [email protected] - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)  
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ [email protected] - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work

Get_iplayer (version 2.94-1) in the Ubuntu repository doesn't work anymore - it is obsolete.

To rectify this you need to install get_iplayer version 3.01 (latest version) from github.
I discovered this last night when running get_iplayer in Manjaro17, which worked as normal, but has version 3.0 installed.

Cheers
Mike

GET_IPLAYER The problem seems to have returned?  Anyone else having problems?
Using giPlayer GUI

PID Error

"The PID or URL you have entered in incorrect.
This is either because you have typed or pasted an incorrect PID or URL
or the BBC Programme ID is not a BBC iPlayer video or audo.
ie. You may have selected a Programme ID of a series,
rather than of a particular episode.
Check that you can play the video or audio on the website"

Yes, get_iplayer has been down continuously here in the U.K. for around a week so far - very frustrating!
I know there is more than one method to download BBC TV programmes, but the two-step method I use below is the only one I know which gives the current listing of BBC TV programmes available to download that you can browse in the terminal and select from:

1. Get list of programmes available for download (each programme is shown with a number that identifies it)
Code: [Select]
get_iplayer
2. Select & download programme(s)
Code: [Select]
get_iplayer -g [programme number]
or, if your PC tells you you've already downloaded it previously you can override this using '--force'
Code: [Select]
get_iplayer -g --force [programme number]
Normally, the BBC TV programme listings appear to be refreshed on a daily basis at midday and midnight .

I do hope that get_iplayer returns ...
