How to install get-iplayer BBC iplayer GUI from Arch AUR in Ubuntu

[SirPecanGum]

I found this very nice GUI for get-iplayer in the Arch AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=59166

And a youtube demo of it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zruD...ature=youtu.be

Question: How can I install this in Ubuntu?

[F1nchy]

Did you find out how to install this?

[SirPecanGum]

No, I'm still using the command line for get-iplayer.

deb here designed by mr Bob


download deb file and double click it will install through Ubuntu Software Centre


or place in your home folder and in terminal

sudo dpkg -i giPlayer.deb

then find under applications/sound and video

Your link is not working.

[F1nchy]

No, doesn't seem to be working for me either.

Does the rtmpdump thing that grabs the HD versions work as well?

ok guys and sorry corrected it now and in earlier post

[ altho you could have got there following the second link :]]


also on newer ubuntu versions it will install fine but tell you you have broken packages


no sweat there


go to synaptic after it is installed [will work fine anyway] and click on edit/fix broken packages/apply

then all good; it is basic as a gui but clear and efficient
