Getting get_iplayer running on SRCF
Well, if you are here, congratulations - you are one of the elite of elites.
Right now, SRCF comes with ffmpeg, but not AtomicParsley. The Perl environment is also incomplete for running get_iplayer. Here is what I have to do to get my get_iplayer installation running:
(The lines started with # are comments.)
# go to home directory, in case you are not there. cd ${HOME} mkdir -p ${HOME}/bin cd bin wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/master/get_iplayer chmod +x get_iplayer # cpanminus and Perl local::lib, for running get_iplayer wget -O- "http://cpanmin.us" | perl - -l ~/perl5 App::cpanminus local::lib eval `perl -I ~/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib` echo 'eval `perl -I ~/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib`' >> ~/.profile # AtomicParsley, for tagging the MP4 file. hg clone https://bitbucket.org/wez/atomicparsley cd atomicparsley ./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix ${HOME} make make install cd ${HOME}
Edit your get_iplayer option file
cd ${HOME} mkdir -p .get_iplayer # Open up the editor nano .get_iplayer/options
This is my get_iplayer option file:
modes tvbest,radiobest subsembed 1 subtitles 1 nopurge 1 output mnt
You can just copy and paste the content to the editor, then press Ctrl + O then Ctrl + X to exit. Note that I output my files to a folder called mnt.
Update your get_iplayer
cd ${HOME}/bin
cd bin
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/master/get_iplayer -O get_iplayer
File size consideration
These are dumped by running get_iplayer –info on 27/Aug/2018. It might change in the future. Do note that with SRCF, you get only 1GB 1) of storage quota. So you might want to sshfs mount your output directory.
