I searched for 'Consumer' without doing that, and got a sensible list of tv programmes.

Very long and non-standard, agreed. I personally like very long, but shouldn't be imposing that on others. I'll (a) provide preferences to simply honour ~/.get_iplayer/options or the default get_iplayer behaviour and (b) especially do that if user has something already in ~/.get_iplayer/options that I might be about to override. Could you post contents of your ~/.get_iplayer/options file? I can explain weird file naming, but your not search results; but something in your options file might be smacking into something I'm doing. Could you also repeat search, first temporarily renaming your options file to put it out of action? > 3) A tough one, if using an X-Server (VcXsrv - a upodated fork of > XMing)to run GiGi over ssh in windows, when you ask to open a TV or > Radio folder, Via file menu, I presume? > it opens a desktop window, which will not close until > you exit the program. Yikes. Ok, I'll get back to you on that, after I've read up on VcXsrv. gigi just calls xdg-open with folder as an argument using python's subprocess.Popen if you're using File|Open directory for. > I realise this is very beta, and you have done a marvellous job,but > thought I should let you know of these bugs.
