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.

MacOS High Sierra compatibility #439

Can you confirm last compatible version for mac os 10.13.6 is "Get.iPlayer.Automator.v1.24.4.b20221118002 " and if so should there be a opsys compatibility check before installing later versions.

Agreed, but would also be nice seeing this sort of major breaking change (to users eyes) being reflected in a version number bump (ala semantic version numbers) to at least highlight this. You shouldn't lose capability to run the app in a x.x.1 bump IMHO.

Yes, sorry -- I mentioned that I would be dropping support for macOS 10.x in the release notes of a previous version, mainly because Xcode no longer supports building for versions prior to 10.13. I will add the minimum OS version to the updater so you won't see newer versions.

Thanks Scott, your work is much appreciated.

Thanks all for your work here.... can anyone point me to a way reinstalling a working version now it's been overwritten by the new non-compatible one? Thanks :) [update] I'm on MacOS 10.12.6 so I need an old version

skovatch commented 1 year ago

https://github.com/Ascoware/get-iplayer-automator/releases will take you to all of the released versions.

Great many thanks again

[edit] And I've now found that link to all the releases on the main page on the right, my eyes had glazed over before they found that....

I'm stuck on Monterey 12.6.2. I updated iPlayer-A from 1.24.4 and regretted it, lucky I have Time Machine back-ups to go back to. I understand you need to keep software moving on but it's going to be so expensive to update a whole Mac for just one application, especially one I use every day along with a hacked iTunes install that's no longer available. I fill my old iPod with BBC daily radio shows to listen to all night. I shall be completely stuck without that.

skovatch commented 1 year ago

You'll be fine on Monterey, which is 12.x. It will be a long time before I do anything that requires macOS Ventura.

Phew! Thanks
