DESCRIPTION
iPlayer Grabber is an application for downloading programs from the BBC's iPlayer on Mac OS X. Features an integrated iPlayer browser for extreme ease of use.

iPlayer Grabber is very small and there is no installation required so if you don't like it you can trash it without leaving any junk around. iPlayer Grabber is based on Paul Battley's iplayer-dl ruby script.

Please note, if you want to use iPlayer Grabber outside of the UK you will need to enter a UK based proxy in the preferences sheet.

HUGH1988  If you don't care about breaking the law by wanting to use this app, then why don't u just download 10.5 for free?

FISHNCHIPS  Great little app with great potential. Much easier than using the Ruby script and the dev is very responsive. Light on features are the moment but I reckon this will change in time.

GEOFF6  I can't get the program to work at all on my ppc running OSX10.5.5. It says 'downloading' but nothing happens at all (could it be something to do with 'Little Snitch'?) or I get 'an error occurred!' message. its a shame because it would a useful thing to have, living far away from the BBC.

WITHAKAY  Hi,

if you are not in the UK then you need to find a UK proxy to download through as the iPlayer is region restricted.

MACMUSER  Excellent little app that moves iPlayer on a notch by skipping the need to cut and paste the URL from a web browser. iPlyer Grabber has the browser built in.

The BBC site has the occasional glitch that stops files being downloaded, even if they can be played in their on-line player. It's nothing to do with iPlayer Grabber.

KNOWHOWE  There's also 'iPlayer Downloader' available which works well for me.
