Hi there!
The BBC iPlayer extractor (
bbccouk.py) currently doesn't handle embedded videos. There are a few examples on this page: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/adamcurtis/posts/BUGGERIt looks like it should be simple to add: the
<param flashvars="...">tag (inside the embed's<div class="player">tag) has an iPlayer url in it. I can paste it right intoyoutube-dl, and it downloads fine! The extractor just needs to recognize those embeds and scrape out the URL (the flashvar that contains the URL is called "playlist").(BTW: To make youtube-dl download the url from the flash variable, I had to update the
_VALID_URLregexp to accept "iplayer/playlist" urls, like this:_VALID_URL = r'https?://(?:www\.)?bbc\.co\.uk/(?:programmes|iplayer/episode|iplayer/playlist)/(?P<id>[\da-z]{8})')What's a good way to implement this? Is there an extractor that I can take a look at as a good example?
Thanks!
