get_iplayer is a free, open-source command‑line tool for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you search for, download, and record BBC iPlayer TV and BBC Sounds radio programmes for offline, time‑shifted viewing. It maintains a local programme index, supports series linking and PVR-style presets, and can retrieve multiple versions (HD/SD, signed, audio-described) along with subtitles and rich metadata. Output is typically MP4 or M4A, with tagging handled via external utilities such as ffmpeg and AtomicParsley. A lightweight Web PVR Manager provides an optional browser-based interface for scheduling and management. get_iplayer is community-maintained and not affiliated with the BBC. Availability of content depends on rights windows and regional restrictions; a UK IP address is generally required. Use the tool only in accordance with local laws and the BBC’s terms of service.
