I'm not really sure I see the point of a "get_iplayer" app for the iPad
itself.
For watching current stuff, there's the BBC iPlayer app for the iPad. For
older stuff you've downloaded with "get_iplayer" on other platforms, the
iPad plays the recorded MPEG4 files without problem.

This is an interesting question.
One thing that definitely works (I do it sometimes) is to use get_iplayer
to
download the programme, convert the file into a form the iPad can play
using
ffmpeg and then load the converted video onto the iPad using something
like
Filer (or, I guess, Dropbox). Good for getting programmes onto the iPad
to
view on planes.
It would be quite feasible to create a web site which allowed you to
automate
that: display the list of programmes and select one, the site would
download
it, convert it and then make it available for download or streaming to the
iPad. Of course, no one would run such a web site as a service for
others --
it would be a clear copyright violation and would get shut down very
quickly
-- but it is something one could run on one's own system for personal use.
You are absolutely right.
I wasn't thinking straight. <getting old>
I have put iPlayer, ITV Player, and CatcUpTV on the iPad now.
cheers
