Occasionally I notice that the PVR process has stopped downloading. Now that it's configured to auto-file programmes into folders it's slightly harder to spot that a single download folder isn't being updated, but often a clue is the disappearance of the CMD window. Then I try to use 'Run PVR Scheduler' again but it fails with: ""ERROR: Quitting - PVR is already running (process ID: 13960)" Searching for 'iplayer' in Event Viewer's application log doesn't find anything recent. The PID never shows up in Task Manager or Process Explorer so it's reboot time. How can I diagnose this? Failing that, is there any way to make the PVR process more resilient, or failing that is there an easier method to detect that it's stopped downloading? The docs mention the possibility of using the Windows scheduler for the PVR at https://github.com/get- iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/documentation/09a72bf76c131c8932bbf0aef1eeb95ec85049b9#scheduling- the-pvr but the external link is invalid.
The pvr creates a small file called pvrlock in the get_iplayer folder. Try deleting that. HTH Don _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
