[21:15:02] <FatPhil> ANy brits know any smart (or preferably dump) ways to download the BBC coverage of the World Snooker. The 4 programs per day on the BBC TV programmes page does not include the stuff that's "red button" or "iplayer".
[21:15:22] <FatPhil> dump? I've been in a finno-ugric country for too long.
[21:15:33] <FatPhil> Excuse me as I go to the bup.

[21:20:25] <chromas> FatPhil: there's a package called get_iplayer. Maybe that'll help
[21:25:22] <Bytram> FatPhil: If you a URL, try giving that to VLC player
[21:25:23] <FatPhil> that no longer works, even a recently compiled version from source
[21:25:34] <Bytram> okaaay
[21:25:42] <FatPhil> alas, VLC sits in Estonia, and they do geoblocking.
[21:26:00] <FatPhil> we used to use get_iplayer from inside chiark, and then scp the files here.
[21:26:41] <Bytram> you want to watch it live? or would a download work? if so, youtube-dl can handle a *wide* variety of formats
[21:27:16] <FatPhil> youtube-dl works for the TV stuff, that's what we're currently using.
[21:27:53] <Bytram> okay, good to know. That's about all that comes to mind offhand, but...
[21:27:58] <FatPhil> alas we don't even know where the other auxiliary programs (containing the final frames of the single most interesting match) reside.
[21:28:19] <FatPhil> so it really will need a brit to help
[21:28:35] <FatPhil> google reveals nothing.
[21:28:42] <Bytram> you can't be the first to want to do this... stackexchange?
[21:29:07] <FatPhil> youtube itself has stopped working on my browsers in the last month or two, so even if there are pirate uploads there, they're hard to find.
[21:29:34] <Bytram> yeah. I
[21:30:06] <FatPhil> there was a discussion on the chiark newsgroups recently, and they tend to be reather smart people there, smarter than your average stackexchange bod. Lots of people were hitting brick walls with all kinds of BBC stuff.
[21:30:07] <Bytram> have too many blockers in place; so I have no lucj with viewing youtube live.
[21:30:25] <Bytram> :: sad face ::
[21:30:29] <FatPhil> indeed
[21:31:03] <Bytram> maybe write up a quick SN journal article?
