Dunno if this has been covered already in this thread.  I regularly get my
programmes for the last 30 days via the pvr function.  I save a copy of
tv.cache and radio.cache every few days.  Then after 30 days I can reload
the appropriate cache files from the saved ones at 6 or 7 day intervals and
run pvr with a nice long expiry date.  ie
get_iplayer --pvr  --isodate  --expiry 14400000    It works for me and would
be better if I had a batch job that saved the cache files automatically. But
as a simple windows user am not that clever.

Subject: RE: Extending beyond 7 days


Ah, hadn't read the release notes far enough back. I did find some odd
references to a command line option which extended the time up to 30 days
but then that was contradicted by the later information that the code
would
only go back 7 days even if the programme was on the Iplayer site for 30
days. I assumed (OK, should never do that) the 7 day limit was hardcoded
to
stop the refresh taking ages, hence why the second post highlighted that I
only wanted to do it for one channel.

So, will have to do it the hard way this time, but for next time could I
do
the following? Before I go away I use the refresh future option, I can
then
somehow queue the future PID's from the PVR function so that when I come
back and the programmes are available (but they are no longer in the
cache)
I can go and get them?

Please read the release notes found here:

...from Version 2.87 onwards:

Notes for 2.87 should give you the most important info (feed removal).
