The first problem may be related to browser-switchboard, and the second tends to happen if you run the script from the command line.

I've updated the script now to fix these problems (see the attachment). It does not use the browser any more, and it should kill all processes when you exit, even when run from the command line.

If you run it from the icon or without arguments from the command line, it asks which channel you want to watch, but you can also give the channel number as a command line argument. For example,

Code:

./tvcatchup.sh 1

will show BBC One.

You can also record the stream with

Code:

./tvcatchup.sh 1 filename.ts

You can give the length of the recording in minutes as the third argument, so

Code:

./tvcatchup.sh 1 filename.ts 60

records 60 minutes of BBC One to filename.ts.

The first time you run the script, it asks for your username and password. It stores them in /home/user/.catchup, so you won't need to enter them when you use it again, but be careful if you want to keep them secret.
