| | the first time you run it, you need to run once as root to allow it to update its plugins. However, it may install them in the wrong place -- in ~/.get_iplayer/plugins, when it will subsequently look in /usr/share/get_iplayer/plugins -- so you may need to move them afterwards or symlink. Then you should be able to run get_iplayer as an ordinary user without it attempting to update. |

| | ======flvstreamer====== |
| | |
| | flvstreamer and rtmpdump are alternatives. This time I've had quicker success with rtmpdump than flvstreamer. To switch between the two, set the path to the preferred executable in ~/.get_iplayer/options: |
| | |
| | <code> |
| | flvstreamer /usr/local/bin/rtmpdump |
| | </code> |
| | |
| | Note that warnings about SWF verification aren't necessarily fatal. |
| | ======Non-descript errors====== |
| | |
| | I got very undescriptive errors when I tried to download to non-existent directories. Note this can also be set in ~/.get_iplayer/options so if you copied that across it might be screwing you. |
| |
| the first time you run it, you need to run once as root to allow it to install certain plugins to /usr/share/get_iplayer/plugins | |
