I followed these instructions about a week ago and it worked fine and I have been using get_iplayer from my Mint installation on a USB stick (trying it out before I format the hard drive and lose Windows). Today, the USB would not boot so I reinstalled Mint - that all went well. When I follow the instructions for installing get_iplayer, in response to the command: sudo apt-get update I get two error messages right at the end of what appears to be a lengthy update: W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/jon-hedgerows/get-iplyaer/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/jon-hedgerows/get-iplyaer/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. Then, when I run: sudo apt-get install get_iplayer I get: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package get_iplayer Assistance gratefully received. Thank you.
