get-iplayer

[Member terrybull]

I would like to install get iplayer on my 32bit antix system. I naormally (in other systems that is) add this repo
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jon-hedgerows/get-iplayer
and then install it.
However the above command is unknown.
Can anyone help me on installing get iplayer please.
Thanks

Here’s a packaged version of today’s v3.22+ git master branch
(one of 3 “known issues” has been fixed since the v3.22 release)

how to install:

cd /tmp
wget https://gitlab.com/skidoo/get-iplayer/blob/master/get-iplayer_3.22~skigit_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i get-iplayer_3.22~skigit_all.deb
sudo apt-get -f install

If you are already familiar with the app, you can dive right in and test that it is working
(I successfully tested the following in antiX 17 and antiX 19; most of my other requests were geoblocked)
get_iplayer “.*”
get_iplayer http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07gcv34

In addition to the manpage, you’ll find installed docs here:
/usr/share/doc/get_iplayer/get_iplayer.html
/usr/share/doc/get_iplayer/get_iplayer.manpage.txt

The installed docs provide links to online tutorials, wiki, and forum.
This packaged app either works for you, or does not. As a non-user, I’m unable to provide further support.

note:
I have removed the in-app “update check” functionality, as well as the “experimental” (and non-secure) webpvr cgi component.

I think I’ve managed to resolve this. I down loaded ‘get-iplayer_3.22~skigit_all.deb’ to my Downloads folder and ran the command sudo dpkg -i get-iplayer_3.22~skigit_all.deb. I got a list of dependencies which I manually installed via synaptic.
The cammand sudo apt-get -f install then installed without issue.
sudo apt-get -f install

Thanks to Skidoo for the solution.
