Help migrating get_iplayer from windows to linux

[Nick Payne]

For Linux Mint, you can use the Ubuntu ppa to install get_iplayer - 
instructions here: 
https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2022/12/get-iplayer-bbc-tv-ubuntu/.

I mainly use get_iplayer on a headless Raspberry Pi, and use PuTTY on my 
Windows desktop to ssh into the Pi to run GiP, and have seteup Samba on 
the Pi to share the GiP downloads folder to Windows. I also use tmux to 
run multiple simultaneous instances of GiP on the Pi. I used these 
instructions to install GiP on Raspbian:
