OT Downloading BBC radio shows with ANDROID.

2020-06-02 Thread batguano999
Hi
There's info about using get_iplayer with ANDROID here...
https://forums.squarepenguin.co.uk/thread-2169.html

I don't know whether it works or not.
There has been no feedback since it was posted way back in 2015.

But BBC radio shows can be downloaded with ANDROID using youtube-dl program 
instead of get_iplayer.
No need for that Sounds app.

And youtube-dl is useful for many other sites too.
eg SoundCloud
and others...
http://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html

youtube-dl is a "command-line" program so to run it with ANDROID a "terminal 
emulation" app such as Termux is needed.

There is info all over the www about youtube-dl and Termux and ANDROID.

This is a very good how-to...
https://www.droidviews.com/download-youtube-videos-on-android-with-youtube-dl/

FYI
===
But where are the files going to be downloaded?
Well, in my case, I changed directory first.
$ cd storage/shared
But you can download them somewhere else if you wish.
eg to an sdcard
So cd first before you run youtube-dl commands.
ENDFYI
==

To download a file...
$ youtube-dl 
or
$ youtube-dl [params] 

Lots of help at...
$ youtube-dl --help

The [params] that I use are...
--format worstaudio
For the low-bitrate versions.
and
--restrict-filenames
So_that_the_filenames_are_joined_up_like_this.

Info about youtube-dl is here...

Info about Termux is here...
