AAARRGGHHHH!!! It's no longer working.... I added a new catalogue (maemo extras-devel) and it found lots of updates including rootsh so I updated
You will need to uninstall iplayer-dl and ruby, disable extras-devel and then reinstall them.
You also seem to be running commands multiple times in a random sequence, which is not necessary or desirable! You only need to do the "echo" command once, and it's not affected by uninstallation or reinstallation. I suggest you delete your /home/user/.profile and do the echo command again (as USER! - remember, if the symbol you see next to the command line is a "#" you are not user!). I told you how to do this in an earlier post.
A final word of advice - NEVER enable extras-devel ever again!
Cheers,
Jan

I'm using this now,
I think it is exactly the same thing as what we are accessing on the n900, but i find it much much faster to use this then transfer to the phone.

You say I must uninstall iplayer-dl? I am not sure how to do that as it's not listed in app manager. I will look at your earlier posts but you gave me a lot of commands I hope I know what command to use.
EDIT: I cannot find the command to remove iplayer, I did try this:
rm /home/user/.profile
echo 'alias iplayer="iplayer-dl -d /home/user/MyDocs/.videos"' >> /home/user/.profile
but it didn't have any effect.
I ran all 4 commands as root because your instructions never said to type exit on the first page until all 4 commands are executed. The sudo command enables root so the other 3 commands including the echo would be ran as root too right? Your instructions only said exit after the 4 commands.

I know what command to use.
If there's a specific piece of software that you have to have (that's worth the risk), enable extras-devel temporarily, install that one piece of software, and then disable it. Do not run apt-get, or install updates while extras-devel is enabled!
You can only uninstall iplayer-dl from the command line. Make sure the app manager is not running. The commands to use are:
Code:
sudo gainroot
Code:
apt-get remove iplayer-dl
Code:
apt-get remove ruby
Code:
rm /home/user/.profile
Code:
exit
Cheers,
Jan

You can only uninstall iplayer-dl from the command line. Make sure the app manager is not running. The commands to use are:
Then:Code:sudo gainroot
Now you can also unistall Ruby with:Code:apt-get remove iplayer-dl
When you've finished doing any unistalling, I advise you do the following (for anyone else reading this is specific to Gohan).Code:apt-get remove ruby
Now we're finished with being root, so type:Code:rm /home/user/.profile
This should get you back to a starting point (as far as installig ipla-dl ges, you still might run into other troubles associated with your update when extras-devel was enabled). Go back to the first post as it has been changing, and follow the instructions.You should at least get iplayer-dl working.Code:exit
Cheers,
Jan
All is working again now, downloading QI as I write this. Thanks Jan.
If I enable extras devel again, just ignore the Ruby update? I know this interferes with iplayer. I know extras devel shows me programs in beta but this is fine, all I'm getting is a few media apps and utilities, I did this with the n810 for over a year and didn't run into any trouble.
BTW, my downloads are still timing out often, I am on wifi 10mb (Would cost a fortune via 3G)

2) Via app manager, remove Ruby if it's listed
3) Make sure you have Rootsh installed
4) Run X-Terminal and enter these commands one at a time:
sudo gainroot
apt-get remove iplayer-dl
5) Close and reopen X-Terminal and enter the following one at a time:
sudo gainroot
apt-get update
apt-get install iplayer-dl
exit
echo 'alias iplayer="iplayer-dl -d /home/user/MyDocs/.videos"' >> /home/user/.profile
6) type in:
iplayer
It should display information now.

If you re-enable extras-devel, ignore any update that's not for something that you originally got from extras-devel, otherwise you might replace a working version of something with a broken version.
Cheers,

It's good that there is auto-resume support but it doesn't appear to work well and results in an incomplete file (when you play it in media player)
Jan or anyone here, do you know how to add URL support for:
- 4oD
- ITV Player
- Channel Five Player
- MSN Player
thanks

I did fall over on the step where you change the download path (I put an extra 'a' in after one of the folder names), the download failed straight away to the extent I thought I was using the wrong URL.
One thing I think hasn't really been covered here, the URL is the one copied from the web browser on the page you'd normally view the video from online.
