i only discovered the iplayer plugin a few days ago, and have been waiting with baited breath for the forum to come back up so i could figure out how to work it!!
I run xbmc in fluxbox on an ubuntu server box and administer through putty, i have found the
first and
third pages of the thread mentioned above in google's cache. I have tried the instructions for the xbmc live cd at the bottom of page one... but have been having trouble making it work!
i seemed to fail at the first wget! it say the file is downloaded but when i look is not a .deb file? so dpkg -i doesn't work?
Code:
server@server:~$ wget http://linuxcentre.net/get_iplayer/packages/get-iplayer-current.deb
--2010-03-17 22:14:06-- http://linuxcentre.net/get_iplayer/packages/get-iplayer-current.deb

So i installed get_iplayer from the universe package, everything else went swimmingly, until i get to the last few commands!!
Quote:exit nano via ctl-x
su xbmc
get_iplayer.cgi --port=1935 --getiplayer=/usr/bin/get_iplayer
Go back to xbmc via ctl-f7
Run the Iplayer script and see if it works! You can check for messages from the get_iplayer web pvr via console (ctl-F2).
Good luck...
i'm in putty so i can't start xbmc from there.... i go downstairs, restart xbmc via exiting and starting in fluxbox... come back upstairs (man i need a laptop!!) drop the command
Code:
server@server:~$ get_iplayer.cgi --port=1935 --getiplayer=/usr/bin/get_iplayer
get_iplayer.cgi: command not found
server@server:~$ get_iplayer --port=1935 --getiplayer=/usr/bin/get_iplayer
Unknown option: port
Unknown option: getiplayer
Usage ( Also see http://linuxcentre.net/getiplayer/documentation ):
as you can see i dropped the .cgi the second time around but it still bugged out! have i gotton the get_iplayer package from here:
http://linuxcentre.net/get_iplayer/packa...urrent.deb mixed up with the one in the ubuntu repo? if so, then as you can see above, above ^^ that linuxcentre link doesn't appear to work? or am i missing something here!!
EDIT:
i have examined the file which downloads using the wget
http://linuxcentre.net/get_iplayer/packa...urrent.deb command and it is a html page which looks like
this
