Anyway, I have two different "runs" with the same error. The first is
just running the get_iplayer.pl with perl. The second is using
get_iplayer from the opensuse repo. Same basic error.

I saw a post about a new (patched) get_iplayer.pl on the archives to
get
around the "no specified modes" error when downloading BBC video. I
got
the latest get__iplayer.pl and still have the same problem.

I run it just as a command line
(perl get_iplayer.pl --get 123 --options),
dumping the media to file. Any idea why I get the "no specified

What version of Linux

Normally it's

get_iplayer --get 123
(for standard mp4)

or
get_iplayer --get 123 --modes=flashvhigh
(for HQ mp4)

The main Linux disros have get_iplayer in their repos

I use openSUSE and I'm an admin in the forum and help with get_iplayer
in Packman. One of my Mod team actually packages it.
Remove any trace you now have of get_iplayer in openSUSE, make sure you
have the Packman repo (Can I assume this is 11.4?). Let me give you the
commands to first see what you have:
zypper lr -d

Now, if you need to add a repo eg:
su -
zypper ar -f http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_11.4/ packman

To install get_iplayer:
su -
zypper in get_iplayer

To use it:
Open a terminal (that has been set to unlimited scrolling) and type:
get_iplayer

Wait for it to produce the program list
Download with:
get_iplayer --get 123

I deleted any versions I installed via source. I also used yast to
delete what I had installed via the repo.

The repo you indicated is what I had used via yast. That is, I had that
repository in yast. I skipped the step to add the repository since I
wasn't sure what would happen if I tried to add a repo I already had.

I did the installation via zypper. Back in yast, it recognized the new
installation and has this information in the change log:

I can tell you I am finding using flvstreamer better than rtmpdump, but
that test was with rtmpdump
What I find is some programs (only a few) are difficult. Keep trying
with --modes=flashhigh or --modes=flashvhigh etc..

Here is the flvstreamer that I use:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10573557/get_iplayer/flvstreamer

place it in /usr/bin
and do: chmod 755 /usr/bin/flvstreamer

then in a user terminal do
get_iplayer --prefs-add --flvstreamer /usr/bin/flvstreamer

If you want to go back to rtmpdump just do
get_iplayer --prefs-clear

as a side note, I have rtmpdump 2.3.99 installed. When I checked
get_iplayers for preferences, none were found. Thus I assume I have
satisfied all dependencies.

I uploaded your flvstreamer. I did an additional prefs-show to insure
the flvstreamer was linked. Here are the results.

I can reinstall the PVR options. That seemed to request more "modes". I
cleared the prefs since that didn't seem to make any difference.

Is there a problem running as root, well other than security?

That would be

su
zypper in get_iplayer-pvr

in the event anyone else is following this thread.


Is there any particular reason to use zypper over yast->software_management? 
They both pull programs from the same repo as far as I know.

I tried running it from a user account. Same error.

ISP? Geez, my ISP has been passed sold so many times, I'm not 100% sure. It was 
speakeasy, now megapath. I'm in the US. In any event, do the errors seem like 
they are related to an ISP? Or am I supposed to use some UK proxy?



Yast > Software Management is fine

In the US. You may have trouble. One of my team in Utah uses get_iplayer. Let me check with him, see if he uses a Proxy. Seems likely to me.
