If this is true, this is great news. Does anyone beeb-side have authorisation to comment?

I reckon that pretty > much fills the protocol problem we were having with XBMC... Very quick mod of my other script which worked out the RTMP URL. I've stripped out a lot of that and changed it so that it calls wget on the MP4 location instead, outputting to a sensible save file name: http://strawp.net/files/download/iplayer_dl.zip Bit busy this weekend, but that's my 30 minute hack. I've only tested it on one feed (Mad Men, ep1) and only under linux, but it seems quite happy. Requires PHP5 and wget. Should work under Windows with tweaks to a couple of lines.

That's made my day, that has :) The official BBC view of the iPlayer roadmap seems to have been about bringing it to the most popular platforms first, and that negotiating without-DRM downloads from the 3rd party rights holders was impossible. Is the iPod Touch really a very popular platform? Will the "user agent" DRM will be made stronger? > If I wasn't at Centerparcs right now you'd be looking at some kind of > download script to pull down video automatically.
