The goal of Get iPlayer Automator is to allow iTunes and your Mac to become the hub for your British Television experience regardless of where in the world you are. Currently, Get iPlayer Automator allows you to download and watch BBC and ITV shows on your Mac. Series-Link/PVR functionality ensures you will never miss your favourite shows. Programmes are fully tagged and added to iTunes automatically upon completion. It is simple and easy to use, and runs on any machine running Mac OS X 10.7 or later. And since the shows are in iTunes, it is extremely easy to transfer them to your iPod, iPhone, or Apple TV allowing you to enjoy your shows on the go or on your television.

Can you add firefox as a browser for "use current webpage" #258

The short answer is "probably not". The 'Use Current Webpage' relies on AppleScript to get the URL of the frontmost browser window. Firefox has the absolute minimum scriptability provided by the OS, which doesn't include any information about the content of the window.

is it okay to use chrome with GIA? Or is safari better?

skovatch commented 3 years ago

Either works well. Microsoft Edge works, too.

Thanks Scott Do you happen to have very slow download times? Mine is so slow that it takes several hours for some videos to download.

Some days I do, but generally, no. My smart DNS provider works well. Note that get_iplayer doesn't use the browser to retrieve shows. It's all done in perl.
