Can you use a vpn to get a UK IP address?

I'm really, really bad at these things... Never done this VPN thing successfully.

Anyone hazard a guess how much space I’ll need?

Last year was approx 300gb I seem to recall?

Pretty sure you've gotta have a postcode for BBC I player? Because of the licence fee. 

I'd forgotten that. Yes a postcode is needed. Or, needs to be provided, depending on where you want to be from.

Cheers - I'm sure I remember using some short code but copying and pasting the URL works so all good!

Yeah someone suggest they'll be two of the 'special guests', probably right

If anyone is familiar with the joys of get_iplayer (and have a few hundred gigs of free disk space)  - you'll want this command

get_iplayer --pid=b007r6vx --pid-recursive

You are welcome

How does it work?

If someone could do a test to see how much 1 set of 90 ish minutes takes up that would be great. 

Depends on the year (as recording quality increases to the file size has too) - anywhere between 1.5 -> 2gb is probably about right

What an excellent Beatles song choice!

It did sound like he's penciled in for 2021

Without wanting to get too far into the technical details ( I am at work just now, so cant get too involved) - heres the basics

There is a thread on here about downloading sets from iplayer (see link below) should give you everything you need - you need to download and install the get_iplayer software and you just run it (runs in a text "command line" window) - just paste in the command I mentioned and leave it to run (it will download the lot in MP4 format)

Brilliant mate thanks

[Gilgamesh69]

Isn't Emily doing something with Chris Martin at some point? When's that?

Any idea the easiest way to get the audio only? Its only for listening to, not overly bothered about the video

Scratching my head as to how the wombats are listed as indie heroes.

might put it on so I can shake my head and walk off down my garden.

Is this the thread for watching the iPlayer channel?  Small Pyramid crowd for Laura Marling, she would probably have been better at The Park (has she played there?)

This year?

Yeah, we walked round to see RightBazza just as she finished, and it wasn't mobbed.

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

Is there anywhere to watch what Emily said?

[FatAmmy]

I'm getting a "Something went wrong loading this program" with the live channel playing Laura Marling...

I was going to make a separate thread but wasn't sure if people would complain...

The crowd is always a bit sparse for these earlier folk pyramid acts, I'm a big fan of still putting them there though. An early afternoon lie down with some lovely music is good for the soul, First Aid Kit saved my life in 2017.
