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.

The pvr is controlled by text files held in the pvr folder. The simplest way is 
to delete the unwanted file from there.

Hello -

Is there a command line that would enable deletion / removal of one

continues to be part of the PVR Scheduler listing / programmes (as
unfulfilled) in my instance.

Any assistance would be most appreciated.

The Museum of Curiosity

[Don Grunbaum]

Hi all

I'm trying to download yesterday's episode of The Museum of Curiosity, but keep 
getting failures, although I can play it in BBC Sounds. I've had no problems 
downloading previous episode.

I normally use the PVR, but I've also tried using the Web Interface with the 
cache and Quick URL.

This is the error I get:

INFO: PVR Run: '_The Museum of Curiosity_ name_radio.txt'

Matches:
42896:  The Museum of Curiosity: Series 17 - Episode 3, BBC Radio 4, m001jsdr

WARNING: No media streams found for requested programme versions and recording

I think it's a problem at the BBC end, but has anyone else encountered a 
similar fault? It will possibly sort itself out eventually.

Re: Why no Formula E?

[Don Grunbaum]

I'm not sure that you've followed the thread fully, George.

Your search will pick up "The Repair Shop" programmes in the cache, no problem. 
The original question (from Steve Wilson) is about picking up programmes that 
are not in the cache, but available on iPlayer, such as "box sets" and those 
broadcast through the "red button" or the iPlayer itself, like the Formula E 
races.

Admittedly in my example only two or three of the lines are essential - pid, 
pidrecursive, and output (if you don't want all downloads going to the same 
folder). 

The others are put there by the "web interface" as they are my default options.

I hope that's clear.

Don

Would this be more reliable for other series too? For example having 
"search0 Click" for pvr can match other things too so I've other options 
and excludes.

Do you have an example or link I can use to configure pvr to do this?

I believe that only programmes that are broadcast through the "regular" 
channels appear in the GiP cache.

To pick up others such as these and "box sets" you should use the series pid 
and the recursive option.

Just searched for "formula" and get_iplayer finds one match:

INFO: Indexing tv programmes (concurrent)
..
INFO: Added 20 tv programmes to cache
Matches:
1184: Formula E: 2021 - Round Three - Rome, BBC Two, m000v5hn

Searching for "formula" on the iPlayer website finds eight matches. All
of them except for the above one were only broadcast via the BBC sport
webpage. Maybe that is why they don't show up?

Maybe you could do the same then run get_iplayer as if to download all
the storyville episodes, you could then just edit the history file and
remove the entries for the programs you actually want then run
get_iplayer again after you have uncommented the line.

Unfortunately I cannot remember which line to comment out, I have had
a look in the perl script and cannot work out which line it would be,
but maybe some other helpful person who understands how the script
works could point you in the right direction, in fact it would be
useful to have a switch on the command line to be able to do this,
there have been several occasions I would l have liked to do a dummy

Hope this helps.

I'm trying to avoid downloading any Storyville programmes older than
this year. I thought that if I included a search for  
of
2020 that would do it but looking at the subparams page on github I 
see

that field is not included in the listformat.

So is there any way to avoid grabbing old versions of Storyville or
should I simply resort to manually grabbing any episodes I might want?

I have considered some form of regex on the info but don't have a clue
where to start!

There is a --mark-downloaded option to populate the history file without 
actually downloading. Use that with the series pid and pid-recursive to 
mark all episodes as downloaded, then use a text editor or similar to 
remove all entries with first broadcast year of 2020.


Then rerun with the series pid and pid-recursive to download the 2020 
episodes.


That should work - I hope! I haven't tested it.

Re: Syntax for grabbing all episodes of the new season of Celebrity Master Chef

[Don Grunbaum]

I find it easier to add the pvr files manually, as follows:

Add a text file to the pvr folder with the following content:

modes best
output V:\BBC iPlayer Recordings
subtitles 1
thumb 0
type tv
versionlist default
pidrecursive 1
pid b007mtf0

The last two lines are the ones that will pick up existing and future available 
episodes when you run the pvr. You will probably want to change the output 
path, and opt for different options for other parameters.

This can be done for any iplayer series, using the series pid obtained from the 
"programme website" found by searching the BBC iplayer website. It's very 
useful for downloading "box sets" that have been made available but don't 
necessarily show up in the cache.

Hi,
Can someone please tell me how I do this?  I promised some friends in the USA I 
would grab this show for them.  I need the video and don’t need subtitles or 
audio description.
Is there a syntax that will grab the published episodes, and that will run in 
the background grabbing each episode of the season as they go up on iPlyaer?

Thanks.

As the BBC say (paraphrasing), not all programmes are available on iPlayer. 
This is generally for contractual reasons. It seems that this is one of those 
programmes that aren't available. It has applied (for example) to old Monty 
Python programmes in the past.

No, thanks, that didn't occur to me.  Adding ‘--exclude-supplier bidi’
meant the download went well: technical, not audiodescribed, decent

I'm using version 3.22, but I don't see anything relevant at

Re: Programme Version

[Don Grunbaum (Gmail)]

Thanks to Alan and RS for the replies.

As I said in my original message, I can download the "alternative version" from 
Radio 4 Extra without a problem. 

It seems curious that the BBC have made that one available and have withdrawn 
the original Radio 4 version - perhaps there was something in there that they 
have removed on the repeat? 

Seems to have been noticed elsewhere

Programme Version

[Don Grunbaum]

Hi all

For some time I've been successfully downloading "The Unbelievable Truth" from 
Radio 4

I'm getting this message with one of the current episodes, and I'm puzzled why 
it's happening with this one and no others (1, 2 and 4 have downloaded without 
a problem)


44424:  The Unbelievable Truth: Series 19 - Episode 3, BBC Radio 4, b09d5nlb
INFO: 1 matching programmes

WARNING: No programmes are available for this PID with version(s): default
WARNING: PVR Run: '_The Unbelievable Truth_': 1 download failure(s)

I'm using the PVR on Windows 10, and the latest release 3.06.00.

I can download the Radio 4 Extra version, which has a different PID, without a 
problem.

I've tried changing the version to "original" with no success. Any ideas? 
Simply for my peace of mind, or in case it recurs in the future.

TIA

Radio 1 Vintage

[Don Grunbaum (Gmail)]

Hi all

The BBC are broadcasting programmes on a "pop-up" station called Radio 1 
Vintage. They do not appear to be picked up in the radio cache.

I have found a way of recording them using the PVR and the pid recursive option 
(there is a series pid for the programmes) but out of curiosity, is there a way 
to "force" GiP to pick up the programmes?

Thanks for you help.

Re: Missing PIDs

[Don Grunbaum (Gmail)]

Hello Shareef

If you haven't run GiP for some time, it's likely that the programme you are 
trying to record is not in the cache as the source now used is only good for 
the last seven days. If you run GiP once a week (or more often) the cache will 
build up to four weeks' worth of programmes, with older programmes (28 days or 
a bit more) being removed from the cache. I'm fairly sure that's how it works 
since the last major rebuild following the BBC's changes to the source that GiP 
uses.

If it's not in the cache, your search won't find a match, but using the pid 
allows GiP to get the programme source directly, even if it's not in the cache.

If I'm wrong, I'm sure that somebody will correct me.

Hi there,

not used get_iplayer for a long time so it's very possible I've done
something stupid.  I've just installed the latest Windows executable
following the install instructions, however, I'm unable to see

I want to download an Annie Mac radio show from R1 and traditionally I
would have searched using 'get_iplayer --type=radio Annie'.  This
fails to show any entries.

I can download an episode directly using the PID if I find one from
the website, such as p05fdry0, but searching shows nothing.

Re: Disabling television mode

[Don Grunbaum (Gmail)]

I don't think that is illegal.  That is because it is the house 
that
is licensed not the person.  Anyone can watch a tv that is on 
those

premises.



No they can't/couldn't.  Did they not have to be members of your 
family /

household (or guests)?


Are you sure?  You may well be right but I have not seen that 
documented.


Colin


While this is getting wildly OT, it IS the premises that are licensed. 
You need separate licenses in "houses in multiple occupation" if 
people have their own lockable entrance door (e.g. student lets).


Commercial premises (offices, shops and factories etc.) need a licence 
but anybody on the premises can watch. I'm not sure about hotels, they 
will probably be dealt with differently.


But don't go into PRS licences or we will be here all year.

My OS is WinVista SP2 Home Premium 32bit, I have GiP 2.94 installed

XP SP3 here, GiP 2.94



In one of your previous posts you said:

The command line works fine.


so that means you did manage to record some of the already broadcast
radio shows belonging to brandPID=p03lsql7 by issuing

get_iplayer --type=radio --pid=p03lsql7 --pid-recursive

in the CLI (???).


Yes, I did



Can you post the console output when running the pvr job, so that we
can see what's possibly wrong? In the CLI run:

get_iplayer --pvr-single="ONCE_BBC_Radio_2_50s" > PVR_log.txt 2&>1



I get "The syntax of the command is incorrect". :-(

However, running the pvr in full, it is now working. :-)
The only significant change seems to be the naming of the file
starting with ONCE. Does that make a difference? Does GiP treat these 
jobs differently? Normally they are deleted after a successful 
execution.


---SNIP---


I honestly hope you get this sorted!


Me too. I would rather have "brand" PIDs in the PVR than name matches
for a lot of what I download. If they all have to start with ONCE, I
can deal with that.



Best regards.


Thanks again. I think I can now set up recursive jobs that will work.

Hi again, Don :-)

Much like Howard, I do not use the Web PVR Manager
(GUI), except for testing things...
When you said you tried adding the "equivalent command"
to the "pvr", what did you actually do?
In the above context, does "pvr" = "Web PVR Manager"
or were you actually trying to set up a PVR job?

The "Quick URL" input field of the GUI does not accept,
I'm afraid, the "--pid-recursive" switch :-(


Anybody else had any success with
that option within the pvr?


If you want to create a PVR job for brandPID=p03lsql7
you can do so via the CLI:

get_iplayer --type=radio --pid=p03lsql7 --pid-recursive --modes=best 
 --pvr-add="ONCE_BBC_Radio_2_50s"


(Notice the prefix "ONCE_" in the PVR search's name,
because this is a pid related PVR job.)

If you're using the GUI, then selecting the "PVR List" tab
you'll see that "ONCE_BBC_Radio_2_50s" has been added
to the list. Tick that PVR search and then hit tab button
"Run PVR" to manually initiate the downloads via the GUI;
or you can use the "Run PVR Scheduler Now" shortcut to
fetch at a later time (or use the CLI:

get_iplayer --pvr-single="ONCE_BBC_Radio_2_50s")

As suggested by Graham, once you have downloaded
everything you wanted, disable/delete the PVR job
through the GUI or CLI.

Hope I've helped,
Best regards from 27 Celsius Greece!
Vangelis.


Thanks again Vangelis

I have added a recursive pvr job with the above "brand" pid, but when 
I run the pvr it doesn't find any programmes, either in pvr-single 
mode, or "normal" mode. I've tried it before with other "brand" pids, 
but it has never worked for me.

Radio 2 50s

[Don Grunbaum]

Hi all

Is there any way of getting the Radio 2 50s programmes other than 
individual PIDs?


The temporary station doesn't show up in the web PVR. Are the stations 
"hard-coded"?


TIA

Don

Hi Don - it depends on what you mean by "default";
have a quick read of:

https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/webpvr#settings



By "default" I mean those that are saved by the "Save as Default" 
button.


This covers those, so thank you.



Changes to the WebPVR "defaults" made through the GUI
are stored as browser cookies, from "localhost" (or "127.0.0.1",
in older versions of the WeBPVR) hostname - if you have
browser addons or browser settings that clear cookies after
browser is exited, those "settings" will be lost. You then have
to exclude "localhost" from its cookies being wiped out,
if you want those settings to persist between browser sessions.

The WebPVR picks other GiP settings from GiP's options files,
system options:
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\get_iplayer\options
User options:
%USERPROFILE%\.get_iplayer\options

Please do read

https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/webpvr#relationship-to-cli

carefully, to understand how the "CLI" settings
(stored in options files) and in what hierarchy
are being used by the GUI along the ones
stored in browser cookies.



I am aware of that file, which applies to any way that GiP commands 
are launched.





I'm trying to switch from Chrome to Firefox


The "Web PVR Manager" windows shortcut
always opens the system default browser - as
Alan has suggested, if you want to use Firefox
for the WebPVR, then you should make Firefox
the default browser.
If you are currently only experimenting, then, once
Web PVR Manager launches Google Chrome,
you can exit Chrome, launch Firefox and open
a "http://localhost:1935/; firefox tab to access
the local WebPVR server.



Yes, been doing that, no problem.


(What I have done personally is keep IE
as the system default, but modified
"pvr_manager.cmd" file to use Firefox in a new tab:
- .\pvr_manager.url
+ "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P default -new-tab 
"http://localhost:1935/;

use at your own risk...)



There be serpents! :-)


... and one OT comment:
While you are trying to switch from Chrome to Firefox,
the Mozilla devs are doing all their best to ape/clone
Chrome!



But the Mozilla Devs haven't dropped support for Windows XP (yet!). My 
only reason for switching is that Chrome keeps popping up a message 
that support for XP has ceased, and I can't turn it off. I am 
gradually migrating to a new Windows 10 PC (pause for Linux users to 
snigger), but it's a long process in my particular case.


I will have to copy and paste between Chrome and Firefox to transfer 
the settings, I guess.


Incidentally (as a nod to a different thread) my original post and 
this are sent via Outlook Express on Windows XP, in plain text, and 
they get through. A few people's posts arrive with the content as 
attachments, but that doesn't matter (to me).



Regards,
Vangelis.



Thanks again, Vangelis, for your ever comprehensive reply. You could 
have simply said RTFM!

FWIW I have two computers running Windows 10 with GiP working

One is a new machine with a "vanilla" GiP installation, the other is a

My guess is that there is something in your options file that doesn't 
quite match your file/folder structure and that is upsetting the 
syntax of generated commands.


As Vangelis advised, try running a simple CLI command and work from 
there.

You said in your original post that you had transferred your history 
and pvr files.


Have you also transferred your options file? (from C:\Documents and 
Settings\$User$\.get_iplayer). Depending on the contents of your pvr 
files, there could be a mis-match between the options file and the pvr 
files unless the file/folder structure is identical.


But you say that the CLI also failed, so I don't know if that is the 
problem after all.


I did initially have a problem on a new Windows 10 PC, but I 
uninstalled from the originally installed account, and re-installed 
from the account I had created and all worked fine.


If it's not too problematical, perhaps you could try doing something 
similar, test that the "vanilla" install works, then gradually change 
the files to the transferred ones.


Does that make sense?

Windows 10

Hi All

Fairly basic question, but I can't find an answer.

I have a brand new Windows 10 PC. I have installed GiP on it and all 
seems well, except when I try to record anything (using the Browser 
PVR interface) I get Recording Complete without any recording having 
been done, but with a command exit code 1.


I know it's pretty basic, but where have I gone wrong?

1) First Broadcast Date

AFAICS, there is no way to get the first broadcast date from the XML
metadata into the filename.  This can be somewhat confusing for 
series where
the episode titles do not include this information, yet there are a 
great
many episodes which will get muddled up without it.  For example, 
Letter

From America:

Letter from America by Alistair Cooke

1st Broadcast: 06-01-1978

As can be seen, the xml metadata contains the First Broadcast Date, 
but I
can't find any way of getting this into the file name before the 
Episode

Title.  What I want is something like:
Letter from America - 1978-01-06 Domestic affairs

Is there is an existing way to do this?  If not, can we have one?

Re: PVR unwanted features

The data sources are different, so things may be named slightly 
differently now.  And of course some things may simply no longer be 
available. But not in this case.  You need to learn how to use all 
the search capabilities in get_iplayer. Use --fields=name,episode 
or --long to look for things beyond just the programme name.  To 
wit:


get_iplayer --type tv --long grand prix

Formula One,Motorsport,Sport, default, 0 days 3 hours ago - Suzi

No radio results in sight.  Check your options file, presets,

My options file contents:

I will check other presets etc, but there wasn't a problem before the

PVR unwanted features

[Don Grunbaum]

Repeating my thanks to DP et al for their very swift resolution to the 
bombshell that hit last week, I have found a couple of unwanted 
features with the PVR.


First, DP's fix for the past weekend's two Formula 1 programmes 
doesn't seem to have worked for me (Windows XP and 7). The Radio 5 
live programmes show in the cache, but not the TV.


Also the PVR matching on type seems to have been lost, e.g. I have a 
PVR entry that looks for the string sounds of the 70s in a programme 
title, with a type setting of tv. It is now matching Johnny Walker's 
sounds of the 70s that has a type of radio.


If this can be addressed as and when time allows, my gratitude (and 
admiration) will know no bounds.


Many thanks

Hello;

this has to be unique to you.
I have around 300 searches in PVR and they are all working as 
normal.


I do find the below in tv.cache
.get_iplayer/tv.cache:3799|tv|Sounds of the 70s
2|b01kcq0k|2014-11-09T20:30:00Z|New Wave - Hit Me Wit

there are also entries in the radio.cache.

But type does appear to be working.



Thanks for the response; perhaps I didn't explain my problem clearly.

Does your tv.cache contain pid b04ndy7v (US GP Highlights)? Mine 
doesn't, but up until this weekend all F1 programmes have recorded 
successfully.


PVR entry reads:

fields name
modes best
subtitles 0
thumb 0
type tv
versionlist default
search0 Formula 1

Also, up until this weekend, radio programme Johnny Walker's Sounds of 
the 70s has never been recorded (but matching TV programmes have 
been).


PVR entry is:

fields name
modes best
subtitles 0
thumb 0
type tv
versionlist default
search0 Sounds of the 70s

Any ideas?

Subject: Starting get_iplayer quickly



Hi all,
I'm using the browser interface, and the problem is that the run 
window doesn't actually start downloadung immediately, in fact it 
sometimes seems it just waits until the middle of the night.
But I'm now in a situation where I'm using a tehered mobile phone 
for my access and have limited connect time.

Is there a way to kick-start the downloads?
73, doug



I think you will find that the download is actually running, but the 
run window is not refreshed until the download(s) is/are complete. 
This started happening about 6 months or so ago, reason I know not 
why.

PVR setting

[Don Grunbaum]

Help, please.

I am trying to set up a pvr recording for a series where any episode 
information contains a given value.


I have set up an entry with the values:

fields name,episode
search0 value1
search1 value2

where value1 is the programme name and value2 is what I am looking for 
in the episode.


Unfortunately this works on an OR basis - i.e. it records any 
programme that meets either of the search values in name or episode.


I can understand why, but how can I make it search on an AND basis?

Thanks in anticipation.

Don

Re: PVR setting

[Don Grunbaum]

Fields are not searched individually.  fields name,episode means 
each of your search terms is applied against the two fields 
concatenated with a space - name episode.  Use a regular 
expression to constrain the match and get effectively an AND result, 
something like:


fields name,episode
search0 value1.*value2



Many thanks. It's amazing how obvious things are when somebody else 
points them out.


In gratitude

No metacharacters effectively means perform a substring match, which 
would always work so long as Genius is somewhere in the programme 
name.  ^Genius: works if the programme name begins with Genius:, 
which it does in this case.  That takes advantage of the fact that a 
colon is used as a separator in the metadata and thus no need to 
enter series number.  Full name with series number is always best 
for exact match.  And of course you must be searching the programme 
name, which is the default behaviour.  ^Genius: works fine here. 
If it doesn't work for you, something else is wrong.





Thanks for your, and others', responses.

It's not ^Genius: that doesn't work for me. As I said it's 
^Genius$ that doesn't work, probably because of the colon. I haven't 
tried ^Genius:.


The web pvr generates strings starting ^ and ending $ for a 
series, but I usually want *all* series of the given programme, so I 
usually edit the search string to remove the series part. If the 
colon is omitted, the match on the name field fails.


That said, the downloaded programme *doesn't* have the colon in the 
name field part of the generated filename, although it is in name. 
I guess that is by design?

Because you might be getting radio and tv from a different servers,

this is inconsistent - do you download to D: or V:? Are both D: and

local or network drives?  If network drives, try changing your output
location to a local drive.  You can then copy/move files (after all
the processing has been done) to a permanent location using the

Drive D is an internal 1TB SATA drive. I use it for Radio recordings.
Drive V is an external 3TB USB3 drive. It is used for Video (TV) 
programmes.
Both have separate folders for each programme series that is 
downloaded via the pvr function, and this setup has worked for months.

No problems with reading or writing to either.

I can successfully download radio programmes that are in MP3 form, 
such as those from BBC local radio stations, so my feeling is that 
there is a format problem.

The Unbelievable Truth downloads fine here, so there's something up
with your particular installation of get_iplayer and/or your network
connection.

- you are in the UK aren't you?
- what's the result of running  get_iplayer --prefs-show in a
get_iplayer command prompt?
- what version of get_iplayer are you running?  (in a get_iplayer

The BBC certainly aren't infallible. The recent 2 part version of The 
39 Steps has the first episode labelled The Thirty Nine Steps and the 
second labelled The Thirty-Nine Steps. Took me a little while to spot 
why record series hadn't picked up the second episode.


This seems to happen a lot with radio - i.e. the first episode is

There are a couple of options. I could make the the next rev of the
windows installer set fatfilename on by default so that Windows
users don't get themselves in trouble with whitespace.  I hate to
install useless settings by default, though.  I could also change
get_iplayer to always apply fatfilename if whitespace is set, for
Windows only.  I think I prefer the latter.  I wouldn't want
fatfilename as the default with whitespace on other platforms since
it isn't necessary.


At the moment almost half the downloads would fail under Windows if
whitespace is used on its own, so applying fatfilename with 
whitespace on

Windows only would seem to be the ideal option.

File Naming

[Don Grunbaum]

Hi

I'm running GiP on a netbook with Windows 7 Starter quite successfully, 
but I want to change the format of the filename so that it more closely 
resembles that used by the late Radio Downloader, which I had used for 
some years. I am very grateful to those who offer advice, and maintain 
and improve GiP.


I have found that using the whitespace option totally screws the 
filename, losing anything after the programme name, including the file 
type suffix. Does anybody else get the same? Is it a bug?


I would also like to use the first broadcast date, not including the 
time part of firstbcast. Can that be done?

Re: Automatic Downloading of Regular Episodes

[Don Grunbaum]

I'm sure Windows systems can be bludgeoned to have similar

but may not keep on doing the job unattended for several years at a 
time
(the low-power PC that does my getiplayer stuff is a headless EeePC 
that I

Windows doesn't need bludgeoning.

Simply set up a Scheduled Task through Control Panel to run every 
night. Mine runs get_iplayer--pvr.bat at 00.01 as my ISP doesn't count 
usage between midnight and 8 a.m.


I use the Web PVR manager with no problems to control what programmes 
are downloaded.


Be careful of programmes with punctuation marks in the title (e.g. 
Who Do You Think You Are?) as they might need a bit of tampering 
with what the web pvr set up. The only occasional missed programme 
gets picked up the following night if it hasn't been listed on iPlayer 
when the job runs.


I run using a Samsung Notebook using Windows 7 Starter, but transfer 
the files to an external 1TB HD that is normally attached to a 
different machine.


I have to admit that I use Radio Downloader for most radio 
programmes as I had that before I found get_iplayer and some of its 
features are better than those offered by the latter (IMHO).
