There are several gui wrappers for get_iplayer out there already
(e.g. giplayer, giplayer-ext and a KDE Kommander script, Get iPlayer
GUI).
I've grabbed code from the first two and added another one,
provisonally named gigi, that runs on ubuntu
(and probably on other linux variants with gtk, like Fedora).
It adds:
autocompletion offered in the search box, using iPlayer
categories plus any successful search terms previously entered.
you can choose a channel to search on; from the Preferences
dialog you can choose which types of programme to search for,
and whether to include already-downloaded programmes in your
search results
descriptions shown for any programme selected in search results,
including image and url.
multiple simultaneous downloads
ability to play programmes as well as download them (code nicked
from giplayer-ext)
more configuration options:
type of programmes searched for (including podcasts),
output file name,
whether previous downloaded programmes show in search results,
etc.
Would someone with a linux box be able to give it a try? Runs okay
on my ubuntu machines, but I could do with some alpha testers.
Does it work for you?
Anything in gui you don't like? Defaults you'd prefer otherwise?
Any other get_iplayer features that could be wrapped? (I've not
done anything about pvr, not sure what that would look like).
The html page in distro (more or less same as detail page reached
from link below) describes all the options available.
Mac version is probably near-impossible.
Windows version would require considerable work.

My apologies, your page does not render so well in Chrome/Linux and gigi
was off the page, so to speak.
