Re: Duplicates, triplicates, quadruplicates…
A great suggestion, thanks, but it's a little tougher with a keyword search. I'm casting a wide net for topics that could show up in any programme on any station. The catches might not always interest me, but if that's the case, I'd rather not watch get_iplayer download six identical uninteresting copies where one would be enough.

I can't offer a way to detect duplicates but in the past when Bernie Keith Rock 'n' Roll Show was broadcast on several local stations I would pick one of those stations and download that one. I chose Northampton even though I'm in Norfolk (I think that may now come under Three Counties) so the pvr file had these two lines in it :- fields desc channel BBC Radio Northampton Sadly the BBC have decided to bin off Bernie Keith on a Saturday as they did with Geoff Barker earlier. -- __ __| |_ __ __ .. / _/ _` \ V V / | mailto:cdw_pcm...@the-walker-household.co.uk | \__\__,_|\_/\_/ || ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
Duplicates, triplicates, quadruplicates…
Since the consolidation of much of BBC Local Radio, syndicated programmes airing across multiple local stations are now replicated in the archive with different PIDs and suffixed names. This has the unpleasant effect of causing keyword search hits to download multiple versions of the same programme: p0hgqfd4 Babs Michel on BBC Radio Norfolk p0hj2nbw Babs Michel on BBC Three Counties Radio p0hgrkr4 Babs Michel on BBC Radio Suffolk p0hgqm20 Babs Michel on BBC Radio Northampton p0hgxcmp Babs Michel on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire p0hhfdxh Babs Michel on BBC Essex As the changes in Local Radio have made the output generally less attractive, I've taken the drastic (but I hope temporary) step of adding "refreshexcludegroupsradio local,regional" to my Options file so Local Radio gets completely ignored. Is there a better way, or is there a chance of adding some duplication detection into the software itself? ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
