Similar apparent problem with Chain Reaction. Not picking up latest in
Series 3 ep 6 (Jack Dee and Jeremy Hardy). Running Windows 10 Home 64
bit. Updated to get i-player 3.13. Current PVR search includes the
following lines:-
_Chain_Reaction_name_radio
_Chain_Reaction_Series_11_name_radio
_Chain_Reaction_Series_3_name_radio
However, when I put the PID into the quick URL search, it finds and
records OK.
I am non-tech and rarely understand the list messages - but would
welcome any advice

A more likely explanation is that the searches were done at different
times. As I understand it, and I haven't checked the code, --refresh
only goes back 7 days, and maybe it is now too old. That doesn't
quite work as an explanation because episode 3 was broadcast on Radio
4 at 1830 on 22 March and won't be repeated on Radio 4 Extra until 29
March. Maybe the 7 days has been shortened. I have a vague
recollection that the 7 days runs from the start of the week, and
that would fit.
The way in which the cache is refreshed is explained here.
https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/cache
It says,
"get_iplayer does NOT index 30 days of programme listings every time
the cache is updated - it indexes no further back than the beginning
of the previous calendar week. This means that you must update your
cache each calendar week for a month after installation in order to
build up a full 30 days of programme data. From then on, the 30-day
buffer should be maintained as long as you update the cache at least
once per calendar week."
According to that description, a programme broadcast less than 6 days
previously ought to have been indexed without the need to re-build the
cache. It may be that the new scraping algorithm works differently
and the documentation needs to be updated.
Has anyone come across any other examples?
Best wishes
Richard
