Jan, maybe you should also add the "apt-get update" to the commands in the first post, to ensure that apt will actually find the iplayer-dl-package?

And btw - my nick is spelled "kaspernj" with one "A" and one "E". Not two "A"'s :-)

Doesnt "kaspar" or "caspar" mean clown in german?

Make sure you close the Update Manager or File Manager, or anything else that may be using that resource.

Re: iPlayer working on the N900

Hi

I need a little stuck as I'm stuck... I've done the following
sudo gainroot
apt-get update
apt-get install iplayer-dl

then done

echo "alias iplayer='iplayer-dl -d /home/user/MyDocs/.videos'" >> /home/user/.profile

cat /home/user/.profile
shows
alias iplayer='iplayer-dl -d /home/user/MyDocs/.videos'

running apt-get install iplayer-dl says its already latest version

YET, typing iplayer 'and the URL' or iplayer-dl -d I get the error
iplayer-dl not found

Not sure what to do next?

noobmonkey

2010-01-21 23:09

Re: iPlayer working on the N900

Sounds to me that either
This line was not typed correctly -
echo "alias iplayer='iplayer-dl -d /home/user/MyDocs/.videos'" >> /home/user/.profile

Or...
Iplayer-dl isn't installed correctly.... :(

@gohan - use the app manager, click on the title, then application catalogues, then new, and enter the details from the first post.

I haven't installed iplayer-dl from Kasper's repository so it's a bit tricky to debug, but the one thing that looks weird there is the ownership.

Not sure why this would affect anything, but as a test, try the following commands and let us know the output.

Code:

which iplayer-dl

#note output...



sudo gainroot

chown root. /usr/bin/iplayer-dl

which iplayer-dl

#note output again

Re: iPlayer working on the N900

Jan
I had to re-flash my N900 and went through the instructions on page 1 and am getting the same errors as these guys above. It was working for me originally before the reflash.

In answer to your last questions:

which iplayer-dl = /usr/bin/iplayer-dl

and for

chown root. /user/bin/iplayer-dl = No such file or directory.

Well in an attempt to track this down I installed iplayer-dl from Kasper's repository. I'm afraid it works for me so is a bit difficult to troubleshoot! The next thing I would try would be the following:

Code:

ls -l /opt/ruby/bin

and post the output.

Hi Jan

This is what I get...which I don't really understand as I flashed my device yesterday. I would have thought that it would have had a different timestamp?

Nothing else is running except for a few statusbar apps, I will look around more.

Also, is Distribution: fremantle or freemantle ??? I tried both.

I just uninstalled 7 applets but no luck, I cannot get this to work. Even typing the first command in x terminal shows an odd response:

Root Shell won't enable. Can anyone help? All i've done so far is added the repository information into the app manager under new catalogue. I then saved this, my n900 says looking for updates, then shows me the app manager menu. I close this, enter xterminal and type in the 3 commands, all responses are odd. Why am I the only one having this problem? We all have the same device...

Re: iPlayer working on the N900

I've tried to download about 3 beeb shows up to now, each of them have failed.
They get to around 98% or 97% and then stop and the next line of xterm appears as if it finishes,
i try and playback the file and it gives a playback error?
Can someone tell me how i can fix this.

Re: iPlayer working on the N900

I am at the exact same point as Gohan. I am a total newbie with this so have no idea how to get round it but would love to watch iplayer.

I made sure there was nothing else open but still no joy.

You need to download rootsh from the extras-dev repository. Enable this repository at your own risk as all applications are experimental.
Once you have downloaded it the sudo gainroot command will work.

Re: iPlayer working on the N900

Thats correct the first post does need to be edited to include downloading Rootsh BUT with a BIG warning.As enabling root on the device gives you full control and with that you can seriously brick your device if not carefull.

Getting further now but experiencing the problem a few are getting on page 6 and 7. When I type in iplayer URL (the actual URL) I get iplayer-dl: not found. I also tried other commands mentioned on previous pages, here is my xterminal screen:

Gohan. I got this phone when it was first released and the very first thing I did was enable root. Please forgive me for forgetting that it doesn't come as standard. I was in the process of writing (another!) post to clarify when I saw your problem was already answered.

Reading your most recent post it looks like you've got yourself in a bit of a pickle. Perhaps someone else can be bothered to help you sort it out - I don't want to give you any more "rubbish".

If you name the files you've tried to get I'll download one of them, we can compare file sizes and see whether it's a download issue or a playback issue.
