Can't find get-iplayer

Asked by Lee Jones

I've successfully(?) downloaded get-iplayer using the Ubuntu Software Centre but am unable to find it anywhere (even after a file search). I get a big a list of TV programmes when I typed it into a terminal, but no access to the software. Any ideas? Thanks.

get-iplayer is a command line only program. You can view the instructions by typing "man get-iplayer" in a terminal, or by looking here: http://man.cx/get-iplayer

You probably want to look at the get command.so get-iplayer --get (channel)

You may also want to look at the stream option, which can be piped to mplayer, to view the stream "live"

get-iplayer --stream (channel) | mplayer -
