Moved to https://github.com/Ascoware/get-iplayer-automator! 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.
When trying to download iPlayer programmes which are Olympic Events not broadcast but only made available over iPlayer, I am unable to locate the show via the search tool but instead have to go to the web page where I then use 'use current webpage' to load the PID and run I eventually get a Failed Download Solution - None of the download formats you specified were available for this show. I have got every format set in the pref tab.
