Actually the display does not, and AFAIAA never has, included the "total number of programmes added"
And I have tried over-riding the "no longer displays" default with "Added Since" set to 5040 (= 30 days).
However I still get no listings for TV, and only a truncated listing for Radio. And certainly no "total number of programmes added"
I think you may have misunderstood the use of --since. As I understand it, it has to be used with --verbose. Without --verbose nothing is listed when the cache is refreshed. With --verbose the entire cache is isted. --since=4 with --verbose limits the output to programmes added in the last 4 hours. That, however is not the end of the story. The listing of programmes added in the last 4 hours is preceded by an enormous number of "already exists" warnings.
I am using Windows and the CLI, and what I have said applies to them. Linux and/or the PVR may be different. Without --verbose I do see the number of programmes added.
I think we all agree that DinkyPumpkin does an amazing job of devising workarounds when the BBC makes changes, often within a matter of hours. For cosmetic changes it would be nice if there were some consultation as to what users want before things which are working are changed.
For my part I would prefer the cache not to be refreshed when the get_iplayer script first starts, but to wait until the first command is issued. (Someone did tell me how to increase the time between refreshes, which is useful.) I would also prefer to specify channels I want to include rather than ones I want to exclude.
