Get_iPlayer A utility for downloading TV and radio programmes from BBC iPlayer, that is currently in active development.

docker create \

• Backup your current config and recordings.
• Mount /root/.get_iplayer to your config directory. This should include your options file and pvr directory. If starting from scratch, you can manually edit the options file created here.
• Mount /root/output to your recordings location.

WARNING - get_iplayer stores cookies in your browser for some default settings. Because of this, at least try to see if you can find those cookies and remove them BEFORE loading the newly installed container. For example, if you have set the recordings path in the webgui, this overrides the location in the options file for downloads.

• When starting this for the first time, it will create some nice newbie default options (enable whitespace in filenames, download subtitles, etc.).
• When starting this using existing configuration files, it will forcibly change the output location to the container's output volume location, thus hopefully, it should "just work".

This container is rebuilt automatically when a new release of get_iplayer upstream is published. Utilities that monitor for new versions of the container or new tags should pick up the new version.
