Automatic Downloading of Regular Episodes

2012-09-26 Thread Chris J Brady
If I am away for some weeks is there any way I can download regular programmes, e.g. the weekly Dad's Army on Radio 4 Extra? Each episode seems to get replaced as soon as a new one is aired; and previous episodes are then unobtainable until they come round again in say a few years. So if an

Using --raw obviates the transcoding (yeurgh). use FLVExtract to rip out AAC from the FLVs and then use YAMB (or MP4Box if you're not lazy like me) to remux as an M4A and get it seekable. For videos, I just leave as FLV as MPC can parse and decode them fine natively; when I remuxed as

[PATCH 3/3] Web PVR: use dynamic discovery of configured ffmpeg

2012-09-26 Thread dinkypumpkin
The location of ffmpeg may be changed during update by the Windows installer and thus should not be hard-coded in get_iplayer.cgi.cmd. This change enables web pvr to query get_iplayer for configured ffmpeg if it is not specified on get_iplayer.cgi command line. This is probably only relevant on

[PATCH 2/3] Web PVR: updated streaming and transcoding parameters

2012-09-26 Thread dinkypumpkin
1. Fixed some typos 2. Removed hard-coded dependency on libfaac. Windows ffmpeg is not built with libfaac, so FLV transcoding fails. Recent versions of have internal AAC codec. 3. Set M4A transcoding to FLV by default (as with MP4). This only seems necessary for Windows server but should work

I'm sure Windows systems can be bludgeoned to have similar functionality... but may not keep on doing the job unattended for several years at a time (the low-power PC that does my getiplayer stuff is a headless EeePC that I don't touch more than a couple of times a year). Andy Windows

Some interesting comments all, thanks. The reason I put --pid at the end of my string is partially to stop me from forgetting to change it ;-) And I only ever use get_iplayer to grab stuff for which I've already found the PID for, I always found its PVR features a little cumbersome for what I
