I considered pushing that latest RTMPDump build, but even though it worked fine with get_iplayer, I couldn't come up with any justification to update so soon after the last release. I think the impetus for the new build appearing on the RTMPDump site was the fact that the RTMPDump code now requires a specific, newer version of one its SSL libraries, but that is immaterial for get_iplayer. update...), still I (personally) feel it'd be desirable if the (new, capable of) windows installer could point to an updated official binary, if such exists... It seems self-evidently a good idea to minimise the number of Windows installer configurations we have to keep track of. Windows get_iplayer is a self-contained system, so there isn't a compelling reason to push every update to dependencies so long as the existing versions work *with get_iplayer*. Still, I think it is worth refreshing the installer configuration (and possibly the installer) every 6 months if neither crucial patches nor major releases have appeared in the interim. Of course, if you want the latest and greatest version of RTMPDump or FFmpeg for your own purposes, by all means install it alongside get_iplayer and use the user options file or command line to incorporate it into your downloading. I would expect that casual users aren't bothered so long as get_iplayer keeps working. RTMPDump was version bumped (2.3-2.4) on 12 Jul 2011, still on their downloads folder ( http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/download/ ) exists no sign of a rtmpdump-2.4-windows.zip file with a permanent link (that would make things easier for you...). It isn't clear when or if a final version 2.4 of RTMPDump will be declared. The developers apparently still have things to work on. Until it is, there won't be an official Windows binary as such, or even an official source snapshot. The Windows build on the their site is only there because someone outside the RTMPDump developers is motivated enough to supply it. The only reason I even considered pushing an update to RTMPDump is because if you go looking for a Windows build of RTMPDump 2.4-ish yourself, that is the one you'll find. The version used by the installer is still on their server, but is isn't linked from anywhere. But that didn't seem reason enough to update. Fortunately, RTMPDump is easy to build in Windows, so if we ever required a custom build that wasn't available from elsewhere, we shouldn't be left high and dry. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

Re: Windows Installer?
There's clearly makefiles scripts files in the repo you cloned on github that mentions nsis. The file makensis expects a tarball with perl etc in it but I don't know the exact contents.

TIA -R ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer The tar is Strawberry Perl just as a tarball, and the Makefile just pulls the files out out the tar, as David said, this is based on a list which I got by compiling the script with PAR::Packer If you want to do it yourself, get the latest get_iplayer script, install Strawberry Perl with the windows installer from the Strawberry Perl site. Then open a command line (with Perl in the path) type cpan install PAR::Packer I think that's the command anyway, you might need to Google it. This installs lots of dependencies like mingw just keep saying yes. After that is all done type the following where get_iplayer is in your current directory and Perl is in your path. pp get_iplayer -o get_iplayer.exe This makes a single executable of the get_iplayer script called get_iplayer.exe that can be run from the command line with nothing else needed, its actually a zip file with get_iplayer in it, along with all the Strawberry Perl files needed (and no more). You can open/extract the exe with 7zip make a list of the files you need and there you go! The reason for striping the files from the tar means the build machine doesn't need pp installed, or even need to be windows, previously it mean get_iplayer --update worked on windows as the script could overwrite its self.. As far as NSIS goes, you just need all the files you want in the correct directories and compile away. Does that answer your question?

There is apparently some way to run Strawberry Perl as a 'compiler' to make it spit out just the files you need, as dependencies for the get_iplayer script. I never got that working (and didn't really have the patience to run Windows for long enough to look harder, since it didn't seem to run under Wine for reasons I don't remember). So for the installer I built, I just used exactly the same set of files that were present in Phil's original Windows installer. The makefiles in the get_iplayer repository are set up to work that way, I believe. If there's still anyone out there who actually cares about the Windows operating system, it would be really useful if they were to try to make it easier to build the installer. -- dwmw2 ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
