get_iplayer's cache expires by default after 4 hours. If the cache has expired, get_iplayer will refresh it when next run. So if it's been more than 4 hours since the last refresh when you run get_iplayer, it will refresh the cache. It has done this for as long as I've been using it (3 years). You can change the expiry time using the following command (taken from the Options Wiki) --expiry, -e <secs> : Cache expiry in seconds (default 4hrs) Perhaps you could set it to expire after 1 week and manually update the cache as and when you choose? There's also the command: --refresh-abortonerror : Abort cache refresh for programme type if data for any channel fails to download. Use --refresh-exclude to temporarily skip failing channels. Perhaps if used it would have the side effect of aborting a cache refresh if you weren't connected to the internet? Haven't tried that so only guessing. _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
