+====== Running get_iplayer on SRCF ======
 Well, if you are here, congratulations - you are one of the elite of elites.
+====== Get get_iplayer running ======
 Right now, SRCF comes with ffmpeg, but not AtomicParsley. The Perl environment is also incomplete for running get_iplayer. Here is what I have to do to get my get_iplayer installation running:

+====== How to deal with large video files.  ======
+As of 27/Aug/2018, an 1 hour video from iPlayer at the best quality costs about 2.4GB. With SRCF, you get only 1GB [(https://www.srcf.net/faq/managing-account)] of storage quota - I am not sure if you want to email the sysadmin to increase the quota. I prefer to to save my file elsewhere on the Internet. I do this my using ''sshfs''.

 You can just copy and paste the content to the editor, then press ''Ctrl + O'' then ''Ctrl + X'' to exit. Note that I output my files to a folder called ''mnt''.

-===== File size consideration =====
-These are dumped by running ''get_iplayer --info'' on an episode of Holby City on 27/Aug/2018. The output might change in the future. An episode of Holby City is 1 hour. Do note that with SRCF, you get only 1GB [(https://www.srcf.net/faq/managing-account)] of storage quota. So you might want to ''sshfs'' mount your output directory.
