Re: iPad3
I'm not really sure I see the point of a get_iplayer app for the iPad itself. For watching current stuff, there's the BBC iPlayer app for the iPad. For older stuff you've downloaded with get_iplayer on other platforms, the iPad plays the recorded MPEG4 files without problem.

One thing that definitely works (I do it sometimes) is to use get_iplayer to download the programme, convert the file into a form the iPad can play using ffmpeg and then load the converted video onto the iPad using something like Filer (or, I guess, Dropbox). Good for getting programmes onto the iPad to view on planes. It would be quite feasible to create a web site which allowed you to automate that: display the list of programmes and select one, the site would download it, convert it and then make it available for download or streaming to the iPad. Of course, no one would run such a web site as a service for others -- it would be a clear copyright violation and would get shut down very quickly -- but it is something one could run on one's own system for personal use.

Is there an app for the ipad3? Rog ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
Re: iPad3
I imagine there isn't and won't be for a while. Apple's policies on what apps can do and what they can access is remarkably restrictive. AIUI they only permit Objective-C - no scripting in languages Perl - and not only that, to easily achieve what get_iplayer does would require additional installation of static dependencies which Apple is always against. (Never mind the device probably needing to also be rooted!) On 05/06/2012 19:52, Rog wrote: Is there an app for the ipad3?
