It seems I may have a couple of files which failed to download during an overnight pvr cron job. Would it be acceptable to include --playlist-metadata switch in prefs so that the pvr download will proceed or would this frustrate the downloads which otherwise would work? BTW what is a "verpid" please? Finally I used the git head version of GiP for a while but now I am using tag version 2.91. Is there a patched version available which obviates the need for the playlist-metadata switch?
