Installing get_iplayer on OS X 10.6.8 x64

I always seem to end up searching for half an hour to figure out how to get get_iplayer working under OS X Snow Leopard, so this is more a reminder to myself than anything else.

  1. Download the latest version of get_iplayer
  2. Extract it to ~/get_iplayer/
  3. In terminal, run
    ~/get_iplayer/get_iplayer
  4. Download this version of flvstreamer and save it as ~/get_iplayer/flvstreamer
  5. chmod 755 ~/get_iplayer/flvstreamer
  6. ~/get_iplayer/get_iplayer --flvstreamer ~/get_iplayer/flvstreamer --prefs-add

Now just use get_iplayer as normal:

~/get_iplayer/get_iplayer --get "look east"

Ta-da!
