get_iplayer VS ytdl-sub

I used get-iplayer on GitHub. Need to be in the UK or VPN into the UK for it to work though.

for anyone else wanting to download full video: use any full VPN (i use windscribe for free, you get 10 gb) and use iplayer from github (https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer), theres an old video showing how its done, should be easy:< https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2GEododxjQ

cough https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer

Use NordVPN (most other VPNs are blocked by the BBC) and download the File with get_iplayer?

This isn't quite what you were after, but there's a utility named "get_iplayer" which can download streamable content (like Museum of Curiosity) from iPlayer: https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer

For BBC iPlayer I recommend get-iplayer. Works better than yt-dlp for this case.

Yes, that's a very well-run project. Note, in particular, the "Releases" section on the right-hand side of the page which leads to this page where you can download installation packages for popular operating systems. That's very easy for project owners to provide, but very few do.

For downloading from BBC Sounds - Youtube-DLG is what you want - https://mrs0m30n3.github.io/youtube-dl-gui/. Just paste the link in and it will download it. You can also use get_iplayer if you want to dabble in the command line stuff.

I've heard of people using this before. Would be nice if they are least sold the footage each year or something some such

Preps everything for kodi, including metadata, sensible folder structures etc. https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub

I recently found ytdl-sub which is basically a metadata wrapper around yt-dlp to help you save videos in a format library software like Plex etc supports. Rather than having some horribly named videos with metadata files just taking up space.

Use ytdl-sub for downloading YT channels/playlists/etc: https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub

I don't mean to take the limelight away from this, was probably a ton of work. I used to have a similar bash setup at one point, then later created this tool to standardize yt-dlp archiving: https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub

I'm biased because I'm the author, but I think ytdl-sub could shine here: https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub

I use the ytdl-sub project and it does a great job preserving the metadata and putting it in a format Plex can use without a lot of fuss. Maybe see about integrating with that instead of roll-your-own? A GUI is nice but I just have this set to run on a cron a couple times a day, set and forget.

You should give ytdl-sub a try - nearly 100% compatible with any yt-dlp arg and more: https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub
