The .SWF file isn't owned by root, it's fetched and provided via the BBC. I'm sorry, I am new to Arch.

@dobby420: maybe your .swf file is owned by root. Whatever the problem is, you should not have to run 'sudo'. And please don't advice others to use 'sudo'. Comments on this page are mainly for packaging issues. For other issues and documentation, it would be better to use, for example, the archlinux forum or the infradead mailinglist, don't you agree?

I've had trouble with rtmpdump and flvstreamer regarding the BBC's SWF verification. I tried following this to fix it to no avail. http://wiki.indie-it.com/index.php?title=BBC_iPlayer#ERROR:_WARNING:_Your_version_of_flvstreamer.2Frtmpdump_does_not_support_SWF_Verification However I managed to find a solution, simply running as root or with sudo. You still get the error about rtmpdump but it succeeds to download. There is no log or error that states it needs to be executed as root and I've looked into other distributions and you need not to. I don't know why this is the case but on Arch it seems you need to use root permissions. Attempting this without sudo would cause an exit code and crash. To grab the East Enders episode aired on the 22nd, with the index 326 I would have to do the following: sudo get_iplayer --get EastEnders22 326 There's no need to specify modes if you're after the best quality. It will automatically try to fetch the programme in this order: flashvhigh1,flashvhigh2,flashhigh1,flashhigh2,flashstd1,flashstd2,flashlow1,flashlow2 To get the index code and titles of programmes use: sudo get_iplayer <title> Notes: I used this git version of iPlayer and standard to come to the same conclusion. I also used the atomicparsley-largefiles package as well as the original. I am using the largefiles package AUR, rtmdump from the repository and git version of get_iplayer AUR. I wrote this because of poor documentation with get_iplayer with Arch regarding the new SWF verication and because it appears to need root permissions. I didn't want anyone else to give up like I almost had.

Updated PKGBUILD (pacman 4.1, 'optdepends=' and 'conflicts=' from 'get_iplayer' package).

Please add "ffmpeg" as opt depend. Thanks!
