slackware:get_iplayer

This is an old revision of the document!


Dependencies:

  • HTML::Entities, MP3::Info and HTTP:Cookies, from cpan
  • flvstreamer (install with “make posix; mv flvstreamer rtmpsrv rtmpsuck streams /usr/local/bin/” as root)
  • FFmpeg (not strictly necessary, used to convert the flv file format into something more mainstream, like mp4)
    • yasm (not the faintest idea what this is)

If you get the error:

WARNING: Running the updater again to obtain plugins.
ERROR: /usr/local/bin/get_iplayer is not writable - aborting update (maybe a package manager was used to install get_iplayer?)

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.
