It depends on how you're launching the web pvr. If you're launching it
from the prompt while logged in with the same account and using the same
output directory, it shouldn't work any differently than the cli. If
you're doing something else, explain what it is.
web pvr?!! I just set up my pvr download list using cli. It is run as
a cron job in the early hours.
The first thing to do is to establish if AP is running. Download
something in the web pvr and look at the output in the download window.
Any output related to AP will be at the bottom. It it dies or cannot
be launched by get_iplayer, there should be an error message. If it
works, you'll see this:
INFO: MP4 tagging M4A file
Started writing to temp file.
Progress: =======================================================>100%
Finished writing to temp file.
AP runs fine when I do downloads from cli.
What I can do now is to remove a recent pvr download from download
history and run it again, however this will still be from cli whereas I
suspect the cron job will be a different account. Hence my suspicion
that it is a permissions issue.
Assuming it runs OK, you can use AP to do a quick check on the file:
AtomicParsley <filename> -t
should print out the tags.
When I run AP on the file from nightly pvr run the only tag I get is
Atom "©too" contains: Lavf55.12.100
So no tagging there.
When I run it on the same file downloaded using cli I get half a page of
tag info and all as it should be.
I've never used the PVR so don't know if what I'm going to say makes
sense.
Possibly specifying --verbose somewhere - in a command string or
in the
preferences file(?) might produce more detailed output (or does the
PVR hide
that from you?) enabling you to see what happens.
You would indeed have to use --prefs-add and --prefs-del with --verbose
to add/remove it in the options file in order for it work with the web
pvr. But --verbose may not be much help. All it does is print the AP
command invoked by get_iplayer. Before going that far, do as I
suggested above to establish what is actually happening on your machine.
OK. I can easily add --verbose if needed. I shall try running pvr from
cli as noted above first. If that does not give me the problem I shall
need to fiddle about a bit to set up a new cron job but I am not sure
how I can arrange to see what is happening as cron jobs run in
background. Back to my linux primer I think!

Budgie.
