get_iplayer is a free and Open Source program released under the GNU GPL that allows you to access content from the BBC iPlayer. It is primarily used to capture video (TV) and audio (Radio) broadcasts. You are able to capture these media files from both the archived watch/listen again iPlayer as well as live streams. The media files captured are the actual source files transmitted by the iPlayer and so the quality is excellent.

Capturing & Preparing Radio Shows
Windows OS
Required Programs
- get_iplayer
- MP3DirectCut (requires the libfaad2.dll to be installed)
- MP4Box
- A good tagging program such as Foobar2000 or MP3tag
Steps
- Run get_iplayer and use the appropriate commands to capture the content you want:
- Live iPlayer Streams (these are broadcasts/transmissions that are going out live across the BBC station)
get_iplayer --type=liveradio --pid=bbc_radio_one --start=01:10:05 --stop=03:15:10 --force- the above command captures 2 hours 5 minutes and 10 seconds of the live transmission from the BBC Radio 1 station 1 hour 10 minutes and 5 seconds after get_iplayer has been sent the command.
- the
--startand--stopparameters are hh:mm:ss. This enables you to schedule a recording without having to do it live. Multiple instances of get_iplayer can also be scheduled to run. And using a Windows scheduler allows you to set up weekly repeats.
- Listen Again iPlayer Stream
get_iplayer --type=radio --pid=b006wkfp- the above command captures the audio that relates to the program with the pid as defined above.
- Live iPlayer Streams (these are broadcasts/transmissions that are going out live across the BBC station)
- You will most likely need to edit the audio to remove unwanted parts from the start and end. You can losslessly do this with MP3DirectCut. However, MP3DirectCut only works on AAC files and so you will need to unpackage the M4A file using MP4Box to extract the raw AAC file.
- Run MP4Box with the following commands:
mp4box -raw 1 inputfile.m4a -out outputfile.aac
- Or create a batch script to make the process easier:
@echo off
- Run MP4Box with the following commands:
- mkdir aac
for %%f in (*.m4a) do mp4box -raw 1 "%%f" -out "aac\%%f.aac"
Download
- Github get_iplayer official repository
- Squarepenguin website - a nicely designed website that mirrors the Github site
