Deployment Method:

NOTE

This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)


2. Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade getiplayer -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'3.14'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade getiplayer -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'3.14'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

Changes in 3.14

Recording mode changes

In April 2018 the BBC removed some media streams, including the 1280x720@25fps streams referred to by the recording mode "hlshd" in get_iplayer. The "hlshd" streams still exist for some repeats and box sets, but in general they are not available for new programmes. Consequently, some changes have been made to get_iplayer recording modes:

  • 50fps streams will now be tried first for 1280x720, 960x540, and 704x396 video, with 25fps streams as fallback for 960x540 and 704x396. This means that those TV downloads will roughly double in size and take twice as long compared to previous releases (when using default settings). 50fps HD video requires 2GB+ storage per hour of video.
  • Removed --fps50 option as it is now the default
  • Added --fps25 option to force use of 25fps streams only (HD video not available). An equivalent "Use only 25fps streams" option was added to the "Recording" tab of the Web PVR.
  • Removed all "hls"-prefixed TV and radio modes, except for "hlshd" (1280x720@25fps). Old values are automatically mapped to alternative modes, with warning emitted.
  • Although "hlshd" appears to be on the way out, some older programmes, repeats and box sets may still be available with those streams. However, "hlshd" is no longer included in any mode shortcuts or defaults. It must be specified separately. See Recording quality for examples. Check for the presence of "hlshd" streams with --info.
  • Removed "vgood" mode shortcuts. Now mapped to "better".
  • Removed "worse" mode shortcuts. Now mapped to "good".
  • Removed "vhigh" TV quality level (832x468@25fps). Now mapped to "xsd" (960x540@25fps).
  • Removed "std" TV quality level (640x360@25fps). Now mapped to "xhigh" (704x396@25fps).
  • Added hd,sd,high,low shortcuts for --tvmode and high,std,med,low shortcuts for --radiomode. Prefix with "tv" or "radio", respectively, for use with --modes or Web PVR. These shortcuts provide a means to download only streams of the corresponding resolution or bit rate, without fallback to lower resolution or bit rate as is the case for shortcuts such as "best" or "better". These single-quality shortcuts may be combined. Notes:
    • Don't use --tvmode=hd with --fps25 since HD streams are not available.
    • Don't use --tvmode=hd with audiodescribed programmes since HD streams generally are not available.
    • Don't use --tvmode=med or --radiomode=hd,sd since such streams are not available.
    • Be careful if using --radiomode=high,std for World Service programmes since such streams may only be available for podcast versions.
  • HLS ("haf" modes) is now default stream format for radio downloads, with DASH ("daf" modes) as fallback

If you plan to re-encode 50fps HD downloads to smaller 25fps files, you may wish to consider adding the --raw option to get_iplayer downloads and using the resulting .ts or .m4a/.m4v files as re-encoding inputs. That would save a bit of time by not copying the file twice more during remuxing to MP4 and metadata tagging.

Other changes

  • get_iplayer now tops up its cache to 30 days no matter how long it has been since the last update. If you update weekly, you shouldn't notice any difference. If you update after a long gap, the first update will take noticeably longer. The initial update after a new installation will also take noticeably longer since you are building an entire 30-day cache. You can use the --refresh-limit option to restrict the time period covered by a cache update.

  • get_iplayer now uses HTTPS everywhere. All internally-generated URLs are HTTPS, and only HTTPS media URLs are used by default. There may be rare cases where streams for a programme are missing because no HTTPS media URLs are available. In that event, use --stream-http to see if any non-HTTPS URLs are available. Removed --include-https option as it is now the default.

  • DASH downloads are now put through an extra remux to ensure that output files are compatible with Windows Media Player, iTunes, and other similarly finicky media players. This should affect few users since HLS is the default stream format. If you don't need or don't want the extra post-processing, disable it with --no-dash-remux.

  • Use the new --credits and --credits-only options to download programme credits. Credits are available for many TV programmes, and a few radio programmes such as Radio 4 dramas. The credits are downloaded to a plain text .credits.txt file in your output directory. Not configurable in Web PVR.

  • Use the new --tag-credits option to append the programme credits decribed above to the output file's "lyrics" metadata tag. You do not need to specify --credits unless you wish to retain the .credits.txt file as well. Not configurable in Web PVR.

  • The file extension for track lists has changed from .trk to .tracks.txt.

  • Added --available-before option to bracket searches with --available-since. Not configurable in Web PVR.

  • Added --thumbnail-square option to retrieve square version of thumbnail image. Not configurable in Web PVR.

  • Removed unused --no-hq-audio option

  • All non-core Perl modules used by get_iplayer (except those from Mojolicious) are now loaded when the get_iplayer script is compiled before execution. If you are missing some dependencies, you will see error messages similar to:

    Can't locate XML/LibXML.pm in @INC (you may need to install the XML::LibXML module)
