[Klug-general] get_iplayer fork

[David Halliday]

I know some people on the list used to enjoy the get_iplayer script:

Being someone who doesn't get to watch TV shows when they are on and often
ends up watching things in batch I was upset to hear that the original
get_iplayer script ended. Details of the original get_iplayer project
finishing are here:

In a more recent article the developer updated us on what is now the state
of affairs: http://linuxcentre.net/get_iplayer-news

In short, the original project is dead.However there are a number of forks,
including this one:

Which I got working and can recommend the new Sherlock Holmes (at
an hour and a half an episode there is a reason why I want to be able to
start, stop, rewind and watch more than a week after the last episode
was broadcast.
