Windows workaround
Thanks Mike. get-iplayer-automator seems to be an apple program which uses some files from get_iplayer. get_iplayer.pl seems to be basically the same as the get_iplayer from the ubuntu version, except newer 2.77 #r4 v 2.72
Tried get_iplayer.pl but could not get it to work with XBMC. The problem might be elsewhere though?
Anyone got the workaround functioning with Windows?

Hi Guys,
New guy here, Ex pat and would love to get the Iplayer working on my xbox.
Has anybody from outside of the UK found a way to get this working yet.
I have had an idea, but cant test it out yet as my wife is watching a film, would love to know if anybody thinks if it would work.
I was thinking of setting a UK VPN server up on my laptop and then connecting my xbox to the laptop by a crossover cable and allowing the xbox to connect to the internet using the laptops connection, which is connected to the router wirelessly!!!
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated or am i waaaaayyyyyy off track here!!!!

Well I can say the get_iplayer workaround works for me except for any BBC HD content - which coincidently is the only content I'm really interested in.
All BBC HD streams die after 1 min. Anyone else seeing the same?

Viewing iplayer from outside the UK isn't illegal and to suggest that there is some cost to the UK licence payer of people watching from outiside the UK is disingenuous.
