But I've sorted that again ... download here.
Until the next breakage

Hurrah! woks like a dream! Thank you!
can't download it from filefactory.
any ideas?
cheers,
Gav
got it working after several attempts.
Working great now.
Your a legend!!!!
Ive used ipl2iph for years now and ive got 20GB of documentaries backed up.
It even downloads it over 3g. How come 3g unrestrictor doesnt seem to be able to allow you to stream stuff while your code allows downloads. Maybe you can help these guys. Not that you've already done enough.
Thanx again!!!!
Gav
This method works over 3G due to the fact it fetches the content through the backdoor rather than passing the checks in Beebs javascript to ascertain your connection type.
Its ruby thats doing the downloading rather than Safari.
Still find it funny that its a script running on an iphone pretending to be a iphone for the purpose of downloading a programme.
** One word of warning for those choosing to download over 3G - please check your AUP or FUP concerning any data cap or extra charges for bandwidth used **
Any chance someone could upload to a different site? FileFactory isn't letting me download. ("Sorry, there are currently no free download slots available on this server.")
Filefactory doesnt appear to be working. can someone repost to another site? thanks
mirror here: http://sharebee.com/272f5663
sorry, just take off the .rar extension from the download above
can someone please repost? The sharebee link doesn't work either.
I think the beeb might have changed their tatix again, the latest error message I get when I try and download says, "The program file is not currently available. If it's new, try again later."
Ok, fixed it now. I just manually deleted the file 'iplayer-dl' in usr/bin. It now works after running the script again and letting it redownload the iplayer-dl.
Does this still work?
I can't get anywhere with this on my 3GS. I can't find apt on Cydia.
Any help would be appreciated
Yes -still works believe it or not.
Apt-get is installed with the APT 0.7 strict package from the tangelo/cydia (saurik) source.
If its not showing then maybe you need to set your package filters higher (i.e. Hacker / developer)
Cheers
Hi,
Can't seem to get this to work. Installed all the prereq's and everything seems to be fine. When downloading something, it says the programme name and then 'the program file is not currently available. if it's new, try again later'. However, it says this for ALL the programmes even though they are available (tested on iplayer-dl desktop and also on iphone wifi)
Any chance you could upload your 'iplayer-dl' file in /usr/bin?
Or confirm that yours still works? If so, then I give up!
Thanks!
:)
Saf - try for example Money - Episode 2 - i'm downloading it now as a test.
otherwise i dunno... :(
Hi,
No, Money Episode 2 doesn't work either. Same message. Any chance you could upload your iplayer-dl from /usr/bin to a website for me to download? I'm sure that's what the problem is.
Thanks for the response!
:)
Saf -
if you delete iplayer-dl from /usr/bin/ it will download the same version i'm using on next run.
Hi,
Thanks for the quick response again! Yup, did that as well, just thought that it might have been not compiling it right!
Turns out, I think the problem is Vodafone 3G! Voda just blocks the iplayer full stop. Connected the iPhone up to laptop through USB tethering and ran the iplayer-dl script on my Mac, gave me the same error message. Through my normal internet connection it's fine.
Stupid Vodafone!
Anyway, thanks for the help!
Not got a wifi connection at the moment, but when home, I'll use the script to quickly download episodes over wifi.
Thanks again!
:)
I manage to get all PreReq's ok....
but then after it launches iplayer-dl and inserts the shows code I get
mkdir: cannot create directory */private/var/mobile/Applications/blahblah/Documents/Air Sharing/Video/*:
No such file or directory
Any idea how to fix?
I've had the same problem recently. Just use iFile to create the missing folders. Works fine.
Awesome. That worked like a charm! Thanks
Help
Have been running this code on my 3gs with no probs. Got my iphone4 and have been trying to install, all fine until 'found video directory', then the following message appears:
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/iplayer/preferences.rb:6:in `initialize' : uninitialized constant IPlsyer::Preferences:: PLATFORM (NameError)
from /usr/bin/iplayer-dl:18:in `new'
from /usr/bin/iplayer-dl:18:in `'
any ideas????
Looks like a ruby problem - wait for updated for ios4 packages ? Dunno dont have 4 so cant support it.
The problem occurs after upgrading ruby from 1.8 to 1.9. It is an automatic upgrade in Cydia so I doubt you'd have noticed. If anyone k OSS where I can get hold of 1.8 for iPhone I'd be extremely grateful!
I've put a copy of ruby 1.8 here as a deb file. http://www.filefactory.com/file/b3aach7/n/ruby_1.8.6-p111-5_iphoneos-arm.deb
you'll have to use ipkg to remove ruby 1.9, copy this deb to /var/tmp/ and run ipkg to install it.
On iPod touch 3G it gets to a certain point and says that mkdir doesn't work. I looked at the path it displays and it shows literally: private/var/mobile/Applications//Air Sharing/Video.
Inthonk this is a mistake as there are two / between Applications and Air Video which I think is why it can't be found. I hav already tried creating a folder called Video in iFile and in the Air Sharing app.
Please could someone help me. Thanks
oh no
it seems that this great program no longer works on my ipod, it keeps saying that the show isn't available right now.
Anyone else having this problem?
