Over a decade has now passed since the BBC<\/a> released its iPlayer Downloads app for PC and Mac users in the UK to “make offline viewing more simple<\/em>“, which is a useful tool for those who may not always be close to a working broadband connection (e.g. when travelling). But sadly, the desktop download app will soon be no more.<\/p>\n

Ths change does NOT impact the iPlayer app for mobile or tablet devices (Android\/iOS), which is a fully contained solution and so will still allow users to download TV shows for offline viewing. By comparison, PC and Mac users needed their own dedicated desktop software or use the website to achieve the same outcome, and this is what the BBC<\/a> has decided to withdraw.<\/p>\n

The announcement came in the form of an easily missed update to the iPlayer’s Q&A support page for offline viewing (here<\/a>). Credits to CordBusters<\/a> for spotting the development.<\/p>\n

BBC statement for computer or laptop users<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have started the process of closing the Desktop Downloads App. Downloading programmes from a computer or laptop will no longer be available from Monday 11 March. You can still watch your existing downloads until Monday 8 April 2024.<\/p>\n

You can also still download your favourite programmes on your mobile device, and add programmes to your Watchlist to return later.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The reality here is that only a small portion of desktop iPlayer users made use or were even aware of this feature and, in a climate of cost-cutting, it probably became another thing that the bosses felt could no longer be sustained.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 10:57am<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just to be clear. The change impacts both the downloadable app and desktop users who try to download for offline viewing via iPlayer’s website. Web users who click to download a show will now be greeted with this message: “From the 11th March you will no longer be able to download content from the web. If you already have the Downloads app installed, you can continue to download until this time.<\/em>“<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
