Hi Budge
Hmmm I notice that when you tried to download using the PID the
output tells you that it's not in the cache, isn't this the reason
why your PVR download failed (something that a refresh would/should
have picked up)?

Hi Alan,
Now this is a good point which gives me pause. I recall some posts
about cache refresh and will have to go back and read.
In fact I have never before taken any action with the cache so I have
no idea how it used to be refreshed in the past. The pvr just worked
and I thought the pvr search did the cache refresh automagically.
Have things changed? What should I do to correct this as I am likely
missing several other programmes if you are correct?

I don't generally use the PVR but from memory it refreshes every 4 hours
by default. You'll find the appropriate setting in the file
"run_pvr_scheduler.cmd" (which is located in the gip folder in Program
Files (x86)).
When you download by PID then it doesn't matter if the programme isn't
in the cache (except perhaps for missing metadata) but if you search by
programme name then it's always worthwhile refreshing the cache.
Generally most of my radio programmes are downloaded using the prog name
so I always first do a:
get_iplayer --type=radio --refresh
then I load the batch file that lists the progs I wish to download. That
way I'm assured of having the programmes in the cache.
Hi Alan,
Gip folder in Program Files!!! Could that be a windoze place? A
foreign land!
Since my pvr-list has both radio and tv programmes I assume that when it
came to a "type = radio" in the list it would refresh the radio cache.
Perhaps not but I have never before needed to refresh anything.
Bottom line is that something must have changed because what used to
work does so no longer, or at least not always. I suppose I could add
the refresh commands to my cron job but that should not be necessary.
Need to study how the whole process is supposed to work. If I am lucky
somebody will tell me.
Thanks again,
Budge
