I put this script up on Saturday:
http://www.strawp.net/files/download/iplayer_dl.zip
My media is on a linux server, so I run that script to pull down files which XBMC can then view over a network share. This is pretty much Problem Solved for me, and there is no technical issue for anyone creating a nice pretty XBMC GUI for this now.
Any takers?

Here is screenshot of the GUI on XBMC using Modified xTV Skin using the above script (Image resized for forums)
can someone help me out with this script, is it a plugin or do i need to be running a server for it to work?
No server required, just put it into scripts folder and run.
It will let you browse the bbc content in a few different ways (categories, days, channels) and then when you click on a show it downloads it to your box and plays it.
I have a suspicion the dev will post at some point.

I made some large updates last night so maybe I broke something (it was working for me, though!)
If you could post your xbmc.log after running the script it'll help me determine what the issue is.
pastebin the log and post a link, DO NOT post logs in here.
thanks

make it a debug log at least
settings>system>enable debug log
sorry to post again i couldnt find an edit button.
johnsto, i pressed the white button on your script and chose show debug, it says something like
line 48 ?
make dir (SAVE_DIR)
os error [errno 17] file exists "E://iplayer_downloads"
hope that helps. when i delete the folder in E://iplayer downloads, it works once, but just brings up "last seven days, then if i try and run it again i get the same problem.

Thanks for that. A little puzzled about what's happening (the exception should be caught and thrown away!) so I'll have a look tonight.
johnsto: Great! I'm going to try this out tonight
CLI dumping media to a server and streaming that over samba is fine for me but my housemates are going to want something like this.
