I've just committed a change to git that allows the Olympic live

You should be able to use: get_iplayer --url
"http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/2012/live-video/<pid>" --get
or: get_iplayer --pid <pid>
Many of these links are in:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/2012/live-video
Sometimes you'll find that the <pid> is a channel id such as
'http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/2012/live-video/bbc_one_2012_hd'
and in this case you'll need to use:
get_iplayer --pid bbc_one_2012_hd
Unfortunately for some unknown reason I'm still having trouble getting
pid 'bbc_three_2012_hd' working.
Have fun.
Thanks so much - this is exactly what I was looking for. Having never
tried streaming a live BBC feed before (I'm a new get_iplayer user), I
can now stream these Olympic feeds with either mplayer or vlc, with:
./get_iplayer --stream --url
"http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/2012/live-video/p00w2tks"; | mplayer
-cache 512 -
./get_iplayer --stream --url
"http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/2012/live-video/p00w2tks"; | vlc -
[Specifying the player within the get_iplayer command line using
--player="vlc -" or mplayer equivalent, instead of entering the pipe
manually, as above, also works perfectly.]
HOWEVER... I tried streaming the live BBC 1 feed and was unable to do
so. I could not get the command line right.
Can someone give me some command line examples for streaming the live
BBC channels please?
Also these are the only ones I can find:
80000: BBC Alba - live
80001: BBC Four - live
80002: BBC News - live
80003: BBC One - live
80004: BBC Parliament - live
80005: BBC Three - live
80006: BBC Two - live
80007: CBBC - live
80008: CBeebies - live
No mention of the HD channels, or of the 'red button' channel which I
think is channel 301 on my Freeview TV.
Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks,
..matthew
