[ubuntu-uk] get_iplayer fork

[Rob Beard]

Hi folks,

I gather the get_iplayer has been forked, the thing is, I can't seem to 
get it installed.

I've been reading the instructions on the Git repository (here: 
http://github.com/jjl/get_iplayer/blob/master/INSTALL) and I can get the 
simple version working (which won't allow me to capture HD format shows).

I've tried the instructions to install the new version, first of all I 
use the command:

git clone git://github.com/jjl/get_iplayer.git

Which gives me the following output...

rob at aspire:~$ git clone git://github.com/jjl/get_iplayer.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/rob/get_iplayer/.git/

Receiving objects: 100% (112/112), 191.68 KiB | 220 KiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (58/58), done.

It creates a get_iplayer directory which has the following contents...

rob at aspire:~$ ls get_iplayer/
deps  get_iplayer  INSTALL  LICENSE.txt  man  README  run.pl

I then run the next command...

git submodule update

... and get this error message...

"fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git"

This is where I'm getting stuck.  Not knowing anything about Git, I'm 
wondering if I should be in the get_iplayer folder, in the .git folder 
or in /home/rob

So I'm wondering, has anyone got it working at all?

Ta,

Rob
