iPlayer Grabber For Mac

iPlayer Grabber is a completely free and easy to use macOS utility specifically designed to make the task of downloading iPlayer programmes a lot simpler.

The iPlayer Grabber app is based on Paul Battley's iplayer-dl Ruby script and is the app engine which allows this app to grab and download BBC programmes with greate ease.

It's important to mention that if you are not using an Internet connection from the UK, you will have to use a UK-based web proxy for the downloading process to work. You can set that up in iPlayer Grabber's preferences and, once you do, the app will be able to grab iPlayer programmes again.

Moreover, iPlayer Grabber has been designed as a user-friendly GUI for the iplayer-dl Ruby script to make it simpler to use for beginners and users who don't know how to use command-line based programs.

iPlayer Grabber also comes with a built-in iPlayer browser that makes it a lot faster to pinpoint and download any TV show with just a couple of mouse clicks.

Once the downloading process has ended, your programmes will be saved in Quicktime's MOV format and encoded using h.264, compatible with all Apple devices, from Macs to iPods, as well as Windows and Linux powered computers.
