On occasion my internet or the bbc site is temp down and get_iplayer is trying to update in the background at that very moment, fails, and my tv.cache is deleted. When get_iplayer next runs all programs are listed as being new, which is rather frustrating. Is there a reason not to preserve the cache in this situation?
ie: In the get_links sub: $xml = main::request_url_retry($ua, $url, 3, '.', "WARNING: Failed to get programme index feed for $_ from iplayer site\n"); # perhaps "return 1 if ($xml eq '');" if the 3 retries fail rather than continuing to create a empty cache based on no data? decode_entities($xml); _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
