iDownload description
Tool to download DRM-Free content from BBC iPlayer
Tool to download DRM-Free content from BBC iPlayer. This content can be played on any device that supports Apple QuickTime Movies (.mp4 files) and MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 (.mp3) including iPod Touch, iPhone and any PC with the latest QuickTime Player installed. Supports TV and Radio programmes, although not all programmes are available. Search BBC iPlayer programmes based on Channels, Genre and Title search.
Installation
Extract the contents of the ZIP file anywhere on your machine. To start the application under windows you can double click the start.bat file or on any other operating system u can either double click the iDownload.jar file or start it via the command line:
java –jar iDownload.jar
This will start the application and the user interface will start in your default internet browser.
iDownload was developed due to the frustrations of not being able to download programmes onto an Apple iPhone or Apple iPod Touch to playback whilst on the move or when an internet connection is not available.
The application is very lightweight (uses minimal memory approx. 20MB) and minimal CPU resources. Since the application is built in Java it is also portable and can be run on any operating system where Java 1.6 is available. The user interface is built using Adobe’s Flash technology which can be run under any Flash supported browser under multiple operating systems.
Since the user interface communicates with the application via HTTP protocol the application can be accessed over the internet provided access through the firewall is granted.
