Usage and getting help

(Return to ToC)

get_iplayer itself can provide brief usage examples and descriptions of available options. Because there are quite a few options, help listings are available at three levels of detail:

get_iplayer --help
get_iplayer --basic-help
get_iplayer --long-help

Linux/BSD/macOS users who installed a packaged version of get_iplayer may have access to a manual page:

man get_iplayer

The get_iplayer UNIX manual page listing all available options can be viewed here.

A full list of all available options in both command line and options file formats can be viewed here.

Web PVR Manager users should click the Help button at the top right of the user interface to go here.

A list of frequently asked questions can be found here.
