ITV Shows not Downloading on Monterey 12.3 (Beta)

[pebceb]

BBC shows will download but iTV shows keep failing in the latest Beta of MAC OS Monterey 12.3.

I know you probably do not worry about doing fixes for Betas but is this a known issue?

Thank you.

Peter

[skovatch]

This is because Apple removed python 2.7 from macOS 12.3. Until I figure out how to bundle yt-dlp in a backwards-compatible fashion you'll have to install one yourself from python.org.

[pebceb]

Okay thanks for the update. Good to know. For now I just went back to OS 12.2.

Peter

[pebceb]

Scott,

Another couple of questions if I may.

Will Python work on an M1 Mac?

Do I have to do anything other than installing the python app if I decide to try this?

I upgraded to the beta again and installed python but still not working. What do I have to do with python once installed to get this to work? Thanks very much.

**Update - I found the version you created with python in it and it works for ITV shows. Using it on an Intel MacBook Pro. I might get brave up upgrade my Mac Mini M1 and try it there. (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15-PmyvvmmPDxe8sAHIM-94U-9VJ0S-UW)

It does have the problem where it does not update the ITV shows though. Any chance you can fix this beta version for that problem? The first time I tried it - it asked to update and fixed that problem but then the ITV shows would not work again. Manual adding of shows from the web browser works fine.**

I’ve just encountered a bit of an oddity with ITV on Monterey 12.1 and GiA 1.21.15: On forcing a cache update just now an episode of The Good Karma Hospital was available, but when I downloaded it there was no series title, just the episode number. And no folder containing a file was downloaded. But when I checked the folder from my PC over the network I found the missing file not in a folder: the filename was prefixed by a period, which rendered it invisible to MacOS.

Deleting the period from the PC revealed the file. Interesting, perhaps.

I was just wondering if you will be doing an update to include python once Monterey 12.3 is released?

Thanks.

Peter

That's my intention, yes. I have to figure out how to build one library so it will load on older versions of macOS.

[pebceb]

Thanks Scott

Hi @skovatch - I've downloaded and installed the latest Python installed from Python.org, as you suggested, but ITV downloads still fail. I assume I'm missing some vital step, but I don't have a clue what that is. Would you be able to enlighten me? Thanks in advance.

[skovatch]

You need a Python 2.x version, not Python 3 -- sorry, I should have clarified that.

[andyjw7]

Thanks for your reply. I just installed Python 2.7.18 but that didn't work either - ITV programs still fail to download. I'm using Get iPlayer Automator 1.22.1.

[sxmpete]

FYI, GIA 1.22.1 under Monterey/Python 2.7.17 will DL from ITV but so VERY slowly I did not wait for it to complete. Downie works like a charm and is much faster. (BTW, did you create the symlink to python after installing?)

[pebceb]

What is the symlink?

[sxmpete]

After you install Python, you have to 'link' it to GIA, via the following terminal command:

ln -sf /usr/local/bin/python2 /Applications/Get\ iPlayer\ Automator.app/Contents/MacOS/python

This is explained in Issue 277 on Github (GIA)

Hope this helps, Peter

Thanks Peter.

[pebceb]

Update.

I have tried and am obviously doing something wrong. When I run that command in terminal I keep getting "no such file or directory". Do I have to change something?

[sxmpete]

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with Unix commands. It just worked for me. The ln command assumes that the python install puts files in standard places and that GIA is in the Applications folder, at the top level. If that's not the case, perhaps you could try to re-install python and GIA plus the symlink command. Other than that, suggest you reach out to some Unix knowledgeable folk on this board.

Good day Scott.

Any update on your work to get a new version that will work with Monterey 12.3?

Thanks.

Peter

[skovatch]

Sorry, I haven't had much time recently between starting a new job and a kitchen remodel getting underway. I hope to look at it again soon.

[WilliamOfGaunt]

From where I sit, I don’t think you have anything to apologize for – in my view we’re all in your debt for all the work you’ve put into the project.

I agree. I was just curious and not trying to be pushy. We all appreciate the amazing work you do.

Good luck with the new job and the reno!

Peter

[Lordsnooty05]

Scott you do an amazing job on here. This is a fabulous app and I wouldn’t be without it. So thanks from me for all you do for keeping it running. Good luck with your new job Harry

[skovatch]

I appreciate the kind words! It's a fair question since I did say I would have an update by the time macOS 12.3 shipped, but it hasn't worked out that way. I need to build libssl v3 for x86_64 and arm64, and make it compatible with macOS 11. I have a working solution with yt-dlp and a self-contained python 3 but it's macOS 12-only right now. If everyone was on Monterey I would release what I have, but I know that's not the case.

[skovatch]

I think I've figured out how to build libssl and libcrypto correctly, so please give the test version attached to https://github.com/Ascoware/get-iplayer-automator/discussions/374 a try and let me know if it's working.

[pebceb]

Thanks Scott!

Downloaded and tested on my Macbook Pro Intel with OS 12.3. Works great for both ITV and BBC and also caches the shows as it should.

On my Mac Mini M1, also OS 12.3, when I download the files I do not get the app icon when I open the zip folder - only the contents folder.

So I am not sure how to get it installed and working from that. But what I did was copy the app over from my Intel Macbook and then it works fine.

Is there some other step to get it installed on an M1 mac when you only see the contents folder?

Great work and thanks again.

Peter

[HeyHeyWhatWhat]

M1 iMac, Monterey 12.3 - BBC Radio 4 downloads working. Great stuff and many thanks.

[pebceb]

HeyHeyWhatWhat.

How did you get it installed on your M1 Mac? See my comments above.

Thanks.

[HeyHeyWhatWhat]

Hi pebceb. I downloaded from here and the use ready file was just put in my applications folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15-PmyvvmmPDxe8sAHIM-94U-9VJ0S-UW

[pebceb]

Thanks.

I tried with that same link before and it did what I posted above - just tried again from your posted link and it worked fine.

Sorry was on the wrong machine (intel). Still does the same thing on my M1 Mac Mini.

Peter

[pebceb]

Screenshot of what I see when I unzip the file.

[jeanpaulz85]

I tried to installed Python 2.7.17 and tried what you recommended and it did not work on my M! 12.3

Here's the working version I have in my M1 Monterery 12.3 application folder that I downloaded from skovatch:

Thanks. Funny that the app icon does not show.

I am okay with mine as I moved a copy over form my Intel Mac. Maybe if I had just copied the folder over it would have worked?

Have a great day and thanks for answering.

Peter

[HeyHeyWhatWhat]

You're welcome. All the best.

[pebceb]

Final thank you to Scott for all his great work in updating the app to work with Monterey 12.3.👍🏼

[skovatch]

Done in v1.23.0

[pebceb]

Good morning Scott.

Apologies for coming direct but I am finding this really frustrating.

I just did the update on my MacBook Pro (Intel) to 1.24.1 and the ITV shows are still failing to download. Still getting unknown error. Everything works fine on my M1 Mac Mini. (Both on Monterey).

Could it have anything to do with having tried to install my own python after upgrading to Monterey?

I tried re-downloading and installing the latest update directly from the web site as well and still not working.

Any suggestions? It was working fine before the last two updates.

Peter

This error makes me think that your intel laptop's networking changed in such a way that ITV is rejecting connections. Are you on a VPN? Can you try downloading an older version of GiA to see if you still see the problem there?

[pebceb]

Hi Scott,

I am on a VPN as I am in Canada. I tried using an earlier version and it still does it, which is weird since it was working until I did the update.

Any hints on how to fix the networking issue if that is it. Maybe try a different VPN?

Thanks.

You might try asking your VPN provider if they can help, though if you can watch ITV shows in a browser window they may not be able to help. If that's the case, ask them to try installing yt-dlp or youtube-dl and see if that gives them some ideas.

[pebceb]

Scott,

Okay you were right about the vpn. I just tried with a different one and it’s working again.

I’ll try uninstalling and re-installing my main VPN to see if I can get that working.

Thanks for taking the time to answer and being so responsive.

Cheers.

Thanks Scott.

Just finished a chat with my VPN provider. Was trying dedicated IP but app was acting up and not getting the External IP. Got it sorted and now download is working.

Cheers for the VPN steer.
