Version: 1.19.0

Been using it for years as I listen to my iPod all night and get BBC Radio 4 shows every day. The app is updated regularly when, usually, the BBC makes a change to iPlayer. My wish has always been for the main window to be resizable. I don't understand why it isn't when the other windows are, but this is a very old app that was released into the wild by it's originator and now lives on GitHub, the home of all good software <https://github.com/Ascoware/get-iplayer-automator/releases>

I think it's great. Hope there will be an update soon so that shows go into the TV app on Mac OS Catalina. Still works but just doesn't automatically out the shows in.

1.15.2

Version: 1.15.2

Using v 1.15.2 and trying to download fleabag. Searching fro the program returns "no shows found" Trying with "use current webpage" the status shows as available which changes to "waiting" once I click start, but then quickly changes back to available without downloading the show. Does anyone have any helpful suggestions?

Version: 1.14.3

I’m using V 1.14.3. Had a few issues with it over the past few days, seemed to sort itself out and started downloading ok again - but, the file sizes for 30min BBC episode have suddenly gone wild - downloading at 3GB! Any advice on where I should be looking to reduce file sizes please?

Received news of an update, installed it and the site crashed. It tells me, that the site terminated suddenly, report to Apple and now nothing`1 I have removed all links to your site as a result. Alan Power

If version 1.14 is crashing, remove or delete the file history.gia from ~user/Library/Application Support/Get iPlayer Automator

Watch out, version 1.14 crashes on launch each and every time on 10.13.6.

iplayer automator crashes when trying to load, updated to the latest and still crashes, `i am on 10.13.3 os but the same problem on 10.12 os. this is very upsetting as I used it all the time, I hope this problem is fixed very soon. if it worked it would get 5 stars but at the moment 0-1. I see I am not the only person with this problem.

1.9.13

Version: 1.9.13

I've used this app for years with great success downloading my favorite BBC shows from the US. But for the last few months I have not been able to download any shows from the BBC using this app. I always get some error message. I'm guessing that is caused by the BBC clamping down on people outside the UK using VPNs and proxies to download their shows. A huge bummer.....

Another developer seems to have taken over, and their latest beta version is working perfectly as I write this: https://github.com/Ascoware/get-iplayer-automator/releases -- good news!
