I must be doing something dumb then cos the latest I can get from the github page is v3.30 and when I try a manual update from the console it also says v3.30 is the latest which I already have.

you dont update like you, you do it through the unraid web ui, go to docker tab, click on 'check for updates' you should then see an update available for get_iplayer and should be able to update it by clicking on update all.

[MendipMan]

Yep, I was doing something dumb lol.  Thanks, all updated and errors now not occuring. 

 

really do appreciate you keeping all these dockers you make up to date!!

I am getting the error

WARNING: Required AtomicParsley utility not found - cannot tag MP4 file

 

I have loaded the latest Docker image from unraid and it is the latest version.

Any help appreciated

I installed this yesterday (not sure if I set it up properly) and I managed to get it working fine downloading the TV show Scam Interceptors, however I tried to download other shows to have a play around and then it no longer works. It doesn't give any errors. The below is what it shows when I tried to download the latest episode of Scam Interceptors, it says it converts to MP4 but I don't see any files saves.

 

Matches:
6388:   Scam Interceptors: Series 2 - Episode 5, BBC One, m001lmnh
INFO: 1 matching programmes

Any help would be appreciated. I've been using unraid for months but still a noob at it.

Following on from my post above, I have tried removing the docker container and re-adding it but I still don't have any item listed in the output folder.

 

I also tried the following with the output command but it still does nothing.

 

get_iplayer --get 6352 --output "/mnt/user/Media/"

 

I noticed that the memory usage for Docker increases after running it, so not sure if there's any setting that need to be changed when setting it up. It would be great if someone could help me with this.

 

Thanks

looks to me like you don't yet understand how bind mounts work in docker, have a read of this:-

Hi binhex, thanks for coming back to me on this. This is all very confusing to me.

 

Does the attached look OK? or should the host past just be /mnt/

 

The strange thing is that get_iplayer is automatically downloading new episodes of the show but it just doesn't allow me to download them manually. I have tried using MeTube but that doesn't download them in 1080p like get_iplayer does.

 

Thanks

the screenshot looks ok, so when manually downloading you use the container path, so using your example:-

 

get_iplayer --get 6352 --output "/unraidshares"

 

in short container paths are visible INSIDE the container, host paths are visible OUTSIDE the container, i.e. unraid server.

Thank you so much! I just ran it manually and it worked although it downloaded in 720p whereas all the others have been in 1080p. Is there a way I can force it to grab the 1080p version or does it grab the highest quality available?

 

Thanks again

if you use the baked in script i wrote by specifying your showname or show pid using env vars SHOWS and SHOWS_PID (left click edit container) then it will grab the best quality possible, if you REALLY want to do manual downloads then take a look at the following code i wrote which shows how to specify the quality you want:- https://github.com/binhex/arch-get-iplayer/blob/7547438865c73200dcf12a0466d48ed066b594c6/run/nobody/start.sh#L29

You're amazing! Thank you, the reason for manually downloading was this one didn't download due to me not setting it up correctly so I downloaded it using MeTube but it only did it as 720p. I ran the below command and it downloaded in 1080p
 

get_iplayer --get 6401 --output "/unraidshares" --tv-quality="fhd" --force --overwrite

 

Thanks again for your help.

Hello, thanks for providing this container of get iPlayer. I am encountering an issue described  earlier in this thread about atomic parsley being missing. Could this be looked at please?

 

I suspect it may be related to this? https://github.com/JamesBarwell/docker-get-iplayer/issues/2

Thanks very much for moving on this so quickly, unfortunately I am still getting the same error.

 

I have added a PID using your variable, it downloads the video file successfully, converts to MPEG-TS, then when trying to convert to MP4 it throws the same atomic parsley error.

I have tried forcing update and fully removing and re-installing via CA.

hmm odd!, atomicparsley is definitely included i can call it via console on the container, and the path to it is set for get_iplayer so it should work:- https://github.com/binhex/arch-get-iplayer/blob/1c276c5f7299fc316ac3ae6c825aab7397055c59/run/nobody/start.sh#L74

Hi there,

 

Apologies if this isnt the correct thread but i'm having an issue with the binhex-get_iplayer container.  The script dosent appear to be working correctly.

 

I've had this ocntainer set up for ages and it has worked without issue and suddenly it dosent download any of the programs entered into the SHOWS line of the docker template. When I use the command line within the container  i can download the files without issue.

 

The log dosent give me anything usual really, goes straight from processing show to deleting incomplete files.

 

Below is the log for the 'scheduled' activity to illustrate.

 

Many thanks for any help or ideas.

 

Cheers

I have the same error as @mr_gholam I fixed this by going into the binhex-get-iplayer docker console (click the docker, click console), typing cd to go to the root, then nano start.sh

 

There's two lines about halfway down the page as it opens the window that contains the lines below

 

/usr/bin/get_iplayer --profile-dir /config --get --nopurge --tv-quality="fhd,hd,sd,web,mobile" --file-prefix="${show}......etc.etc

 

Remove the --nopurge command from these two lines and restart the container, it will now run.

 

I don't know the purpose of the --nopurge command but it downloaded a couple of episodes of a show that was missing them for me.

Edited October 19, 2023 by locvez

[binhex]

thanks for the heads up guys, nopurge option removed and new image currently building, check for an updated image in around 30 mins.

[locvez]

Nice one! Thanks @binhex ❤️

[mr_gholam]

Wow what an awesome positive response. Thanks everyone and thank you binhex for the brilliant containers and all your efforts.

[minkshaman]

I understand that the web pvr manager isn't included in this container, but is there a reason it's not?

Just curious as it seems pretty straightforward.

 

Pretty happy that this is available as a docker at all to be honest though!

 

1. Download the latest get_iplayer WPM release to working directory

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/master/get_iplayer.cgi

2. Install get_iplayer.cgi WPM script

install -m 755 ./get_iplayer.cgi /usr/local/bin

Try adding

--atomicparsley /usr/sbin/atomicparsley

to the end of your command
