.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBget_iplayer\fR lists, searches and records BBC iPlayer TV/Radio, BBC Podcast programmes. Other 3rd\-Party plugins may be available.
.PP
\fBget_iplayer\fR has three modes: recording a complete programme for later playback, streaming a programme
directly to a playback application, such as mplayer; and as a Personal Video Recorder (PVR), subscribing to
search terms and recording programmes automatically. It can also stream or record live BBC iPlayer output
.PP
If given no arguments, \fBget_iplayer\fR updates and displays the list of currently available programmes.
Each available programme has a numerical identifier, \fBpid\fR.
\fBget_iplayer\fR utilises the \fBrtmpdump\fR tool to record BBC iPlayer programmes from RTMP flash streams at various qualities.
.PP
In PVR mode, \fBget_iplayer\fR can be called from cron to record programmes to a schedule.
