Using a proxy

Click here for all recording options (Return to ToC)

If you are behind a proxy server you can use the following to specify it for use with get_iplayer:

get_iplayer --proxy=http://[username:password@]<server>:<port>

To make only the metadata requests go through the proxy add the --partial-proxy option.

Make setting permanent by saving in preferences:

get_iplayer --prefs-add --proxy=http://[username:password@]<server>:<port> --partial-proxy
