A python script that downloads BBC iPlayer programmes and builds them into a podcast feed.
The script searches iPlayer for the given programmes and downloads them. It then produces a podcast xml feed which could be subscribed to with a podcast reader application. In order for this to happen the output directory should be served by a webserver. It uses get-iplayer to retrieve the programmes, thus it and all its dependancies must be installed.
Usage: python3 iplayercast -c [config directory]
[config directory] should contain:
- iplayercast.conf (the main config file)
- feeds (directory containing feed.conf files)
I recommend running it using a bash script which is then called by cron every few hours. The output directory should be served by a webserver. See the sample config files for configuration examples.
Do not use the script to produce public podcasts, it is for personal use only. If you publically serve programmes you may be in violation of the BBC's copyright.
