WARNING: A UK TV licence is required to access BBC iPlayer TV content legally.

You must be in the UK, or use a UK proxy, to gain access to most iPlayer content.

To use the web server cgi script, you must set "get_iplayer_enable="YES" in
"/etc/rc.conf", and set "get_iplayer_chdir" to a valid directory to store
configuration files and downloads. If "get_iplayer_chdir" is unset, the
"get_iplayer" home directory is used.

In the latter case you can set the home directory to (eg) '/home/get_iplayer", with:

pw usermod get_iplayer -m -M 750 -k /var/empty -d /home/get_iplayer

Doug Barton (dougb) · 2.80 · as net/get_iplayer
In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().

In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.
