Go-Beebster

Go-Beebster is a Web Gui frontend for get_iplayer.

Introduction

get-iplayer is a wonderful, wonderful program. However, it can be a bit tedious to constantly type get-iplayer --category crime, or get-iplayer -i 345 | grep desc:.

Thus beebster was born. You can search for a programme, or pick a category (e.g. crime) from the navbar.

For downloading a programme, you can pick the desired quality, available modes are flashhd (highest, but only available for some programmes), flashvhigh, flashhigh to flashlow with the lowest quality.

Installation:

Install go

Install get-iplayer.

Install the martini dependencies:

go get github.com/codegangsta/martini
