Basic GUI for downloading BBC iPlayer TV programmes using get_iplayer

Features

  • Info fetching and downloading from URL
  • Configurable download quality

Notes

  • Download size estimates are often wrong, especially with 50fps downloads. The estimates are calculated by get_iplayer, so I cannot fix this, nor can they. It is simply a (very rough) estimate.
  • Long pauses may be experienced during use of the program. This is due to some get_iplayer processes taking some time to start, or by iPlayer being slow. Little can be done about this, but simply wait and the process should start.
  • The program may cease working completely. This is usually due to the BBC changing iPlayer and get_iplayer not supporting these changes. get_iplayer may be updated fairly quickly, so simply check for an update, and if this program is not compatible with the new version, simply file an issue and I will look into it.
  • Only 50fps 720p is available. This is due to the 25fps 720p stream being removed by the BBC. Unless another stream becomes available, I cannot fix this.
  • Available download qualities are: 720p 50fps, 540p 25fps and 396p 25fps.
