[ubuntu-uk] get_iPlayer

[David King]

I downloaded and installed the program as per your instructions, but 
when using it there are two things I do not seem to be able to do:
1. set the output directory (it just lists all the programs when I use 
./get_iplayer -o DirectoryPath)
2. when downloading it always uses iphone mode which means fairly small 
files, but they are low quality, it would be nice if the files 
downloaded were of a higher quality.

I did not find much info on the website. Anyone using it know how to fix 
these two points?
