BBC iPlayer Download Manager?

IAmATeaf · 27 Jun 2008 at 16:51

Thought I'd give this a go, got the Manager, installed it and tried to download but it complains that it needs to update my Media Player DRM which then fails. Checked the online help and tried a few sugestions but still same failure.

Anybody else had this and how did they fix it?

Thought I'd try it again and now it says it can't connect to the download server, think I'll give up on this till I get really bored.

Thought I'd try 1 last time and bloody hell it's at long last done the DRM media update and then queues a download but then sits there at 0%, oh well at least it's now sort of working.

I worked on the application for a few months, and it's probably downloading the BBC channel intro movies in the background first. If you're still having problems press F6/F7/F8 an extra window should come up called the download monitor and you'll be able to see what's going on. If it doesn't go into the installation directory, find 'kdx_init.js' and change line 44 to read false;

Code:

var gLiveProfile = false;

Restart the download manager and you'll get a development version control of the application with a logger running. You can access the download monitor from a slide out menu on the top left of the logger.
