Make sure we are still in the home folder. You could happily omit libssl-dev from the above command if you wanted to. I got an error message that libssl-dev is already the newest version but it installed a bunch of other dependencies. Y to confirm install of the libraries required to build rtmpdump, which we’re going to do next. Sudo apt-get install libssl-dev librtmp-dev Sudo apt-get install deb-multimedia-keyringĬomment out (add a # at start of line) or delete It will update some package lists and give an error. Then use the cursor keys to get to line 2 and add…Įnter to confirm the filename (don’t change it) Now we’re going to edit a file which contains the sources of debian repositories. Let’s get back to our home folder so we know where we are. This changes its permissions so it can be read, written to and run by anyone. We need to make the get_iplayer file itself writeable or it won’t work properly, so… All the get_iplayer files are in this folder. This will create a new folder called get_iplayer in your /home folder. Now you will need to get hold of the latest version of get_iplayer… ffmpeg is used for remuxing (repackaging) the resulting flv file into an mp4 wrapper – which means we can view it on our Pi with Omxplayer or XBMC etc Rtmpdump is used for recording the iplayer stream. We’re going to use git to get the files, install the get_iplayer files, then build (compile) and install rtmpdump from the latest source code. Now, let’s navigate to a known starting point Next we need to install git, which is a version control system we will need to access the latest versions of various packages. This will update your packages and may take a few minutes. If, you’re on Raspbian, carry on with the instructions on this page. If you have the Debian Wheezy Beta Raspberry Pi release you need to click here and use these different instructions. If you have the Debian Squeeze Raspberry Pi release you need to click here and use these different instructions. The current version at the time of writing is -wheezy-raspbian.zip I’m assuming that you have an internet connected Raspberry Pi with SD card booted up into a clean install of a Raspbian distribution you got from the Raspberry Pi downloads page.

That’s a big plus because the FFMPEG compile took 3.5 hours.

no need to compile FFMPEG as it’s been done for us.) Original postįollowing on from my original two postings on get_iplayer, (for Debian Squeeze & wheezy distros for the Raspberry Pi), this is a set of instructions for the Raspbian release. You may still find some of the following information useful. Sudo apt-get install get-iplayer ffmpeg atomicparsley libmp3-info-perl Installing Get_iplayer just got a whole lot easier.
