Hi,
How to apply your patch onto the windows installer version of get_iplayer?
I've tried hundreds of times but still failed.
I can't download any programs on bbc iplayer now (failed after 2 or 3
minutes) so your advice is very important for me.
I look forward to hearing your reply.
Yours,
Marco
First, if your query is about something that appeared on the mailing
list, please post to the list. That's your best chance of finding
someone who can help. This reply is also going to the list.
Second, if you're having a problem, provide specifics. I would question
your sanity if you've really tried to apply the same patch hundreds of
times, so less hyperbole and more information, please. Patches may
become obsolete or may be based on a version of get_iplayer different
from yours - there are many variables. If you're unsure about patching
in general, Google is your friend.
Patches are not the best way to communicate changes to a list of
(mostly) non-developers, but they may be useful to those who know what
to do with them. Fortunately, there is no need to apply patches to
solve your problem. With the recent changes at the BBC end, the best
way to be sure you have a working get_iplayer is to retrieve an
up-to-date version from one of the available git repositories. See:
https://github.com/dinkypumpkin/get_iplayer/wiki/instructions
The infradead.org repository has the fix you (and everyone else) needs.
My fork has all the infradead.org patches plus all other patches that
have appeared on the list.
