#51667: get_iplayer @2.94: new port ------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: davide.liessi@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: submission | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: get_iplayer | ------------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by davide.liessi@…): Replying to [comment:3 devans@…]:
Apparently this is not a fault of get_iplayer itself but a policy of the iPlayer site not to allow downloads/streaming from IPs outside the UK. I'm in California.
Indeed downloading/streaming '''TV''' programmes from outside the UK is not permitted by BBC policy. However, the port is useful also outside the UK, because '''radio''' programmes can be downloaded from anywhere.
Perhaps you should add something (description, notes) that notifies the potential user of this limitation.
I will add a note specifying the above. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51667#comment:4> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
