get-iplayer3.36

get-iplayer lets users issue shell commands to retrieve television and radio programmes from BBC iPlayer. It covers material available from the preceding 30 days, addressing the need to retain recent broadcasts for later viewing or listening. Because it works through a command-line interface, selections can be made from a terminal rather than a graphical media application. This gives technically inclined viewers, listeners, and people working in terminal-based environments a focused way to obtain recent BBC content.

The same utility handles both broadcast types, so it can serve a television workflow as well as a radio one. Its narrow BBC iPlayer scope and rolling 30-day window distinguish it from a general-purpose media library manager. The current version is 3.36.

get-iplayer runs on Linux and requires snapd, with support for x86_64 (amd64) architecture. It is open-source software published by Snapcrafters, whose community maintains this snap. That maintenance arrangement does not necessarily represent endorsement or official maintenance by the upstream get-iplayer developers.
