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.
Subtitles are downloaded by GiA, but some lines of the SRT text have a duration length of zero, meaning these lines of text don't appear onscreen, which is very annoying. The problem only seems to appears in BBC programmes.
The example below is from the show 'I, Claudius', episode 1, 'A Touch of Murder'.
When downloaded with GiA I get this text in the SRT:
87
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:43,240
Yes, Caesar.
Bring in the cake.
But Caesar, it's for...
I can't
and the subtitle doesn’t appear, but when downloaded using Downie the text is:
87
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:48,640
Yes, Caesar.Bring in the cake.
But Caesar, it's for...I can't
and this appears normally onscreen.
I'm unable to say whether this problem is due to Automator itself or the underlying Get-iPlayer software.
