Get iPlayer GUI Remixed

Inspired by Greg Sheldons Get iPlayer GUI, I decided to have a go at Kommander scripting. This is my first attempt at putting something like this together.

This version includes a proxy setting, the ability to manage your Get iPlayer files, including a very basic play and stop function that will generate play-lists for ITV content if in parts. Live TV and Radio tune in. Record Live streams for both , manger them via the 'Live Recorded' tab and the Mini Encoder if you wish to convert to a format your portable device can read.


At the moment the app depends on::

Get_iplayer(command line app)
FLVStreamer (bin file included)

both can be downloaded from :

http://linuxcentre.net/getiplayer/download/

Kommander 3.5.10
FFmpeg & FFPlay (Distro versions vary.. don't expect the encoder to work properly if youre not ubuntu 9.04.. sorry) Hint-- install the unstripped libs for av.. lots of apps use them so you may already have done without realising.
mplayer
mencoder
xterm
and various media players you may, or may not have (only needed for playback)


Make sure that executable is set within permissions for FLVstreamer bin and ipdl.kmdr files.

Point everything, under the settings tab of the gui, to the right places. and save settings (will make this automatic at some point)

** IF YOUR NOT GOING TO USE A PROXY MAKE SURE IT'S TURNED OFF OR NOTHING WILL DOWNLOAD. **


Mandriva::

You'll need to make sure Kommander 3.5.10, ffmpeg, mplayer and xterm are installed to your system. Also you'll need to download the fedora RPM for the commmand line tool and bin file for FLVstreamer. To make sure update of plugin works you could install sudo and add yourself as sudoer.. or just update via Konsole using su and then typing 'get_iplayer --update'.

Unfortunately the shebang is not recognised by Mandriva straight off. Best bet is to create your own starter (shortcut).
To start the app from Konsole navigate to the Get_Iplayer_GUI directory and type 'kmdr-executor ipdl.kmdr'. Then head to settings and point everything at the right places. Make sure FLVstreamer bin file is executable (properties and permissions of file)

example for Mandriva FLVstreamer setting in gui:

"/home/user/where_you_copied_direcory_to/./flvstreamer"

it needs to be in quotes
