New attempt re: TV cache not updating ...

[RS]

For the first attempt attempt at sending this message it bounced because I 
had forgotten to select Plain text.  On the second attempt I was told it had 
a suspicious header.  I attempted to correct that on the third attempt but 
that attempt just disappeared.  For my fourth attempt Ill try sending it as 
a new message.


As I have said before, why can't this listserver be made easier to use?

On the
other hand, my browser is windows native while I run get_iplayer under the
cygwin unix emulator, so I may not be comparing apples with apples.


As I said I am not up to speed with Linux so I am not really in a position 
to comment.  With all the changes that have been happening recently, I would 
have thought running under Cygwin was asking for trouble.  If your browser 
runs under Windows, is there any reason get_iplayer can’t?  Running the 
Windows installer only takes a few minutes.  Even if you are running XP, as 
I understand it it is only a question of being careful about the version of 
ffmpeg you run.  If you can’t do that, what about dual-booting 
Windows/Linux?


Best wishes

Re: TV cache not updating ...

[Jon Crookston]

Agreed, Richard, I think we may share the same issue. As I said in my posts 
on the subject, I can download using --pid as normal. I did also check last 
night that my browser could view the schedule page, which it did. On the 
other hand, my browser is windows native while I run get_iplayer under the 
cygwin unix emulator, so I may not be comparing apples with apples. I don't 
use X windows so no proper browser in cygwin but maybe I could try lynx 
when I'm next at the computer.


I don't know whether this could be related, but I was declined a secure 
connection to one website yesterday by firefox, which complained about an 
out of date certificate, having an expiry date about the same as my last 
successful cache update. Could it be a root certificate issue? I know very 
little about SSL.


Thanks,
Jon

This is still bugging me. It hasn't updated since 14-Oct-2017



This pertains to v3.06 using the Windows PVR


In the User/get_iplayer forlder I just renamed the tv.cache files to 
tvx.cache


Then I re-ran the tv cache refresh. It produced a new tv.cache file of 
1KB



Opening with Notepad this had




#index|type|name|pid|available|expires|episode|seriesnum|episodenum|versio 
ns|duration|desc|channel|categories|thumbnail|timeadded|guidance|web


If there are a number of you with the same problem, namely cache not 
updating, it may help if you try to identify what you have in common.


Have you asked in the forum?

What happens if you try to load a page such as
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/programmes/schedules/this_week
in your browser?

What happens if you try to download a programme by PID?

Any nothing else.

Any ideas please?

TV Cache Not Updating

[CJB]

Using the Windows PVR for v3.06 ...

One of the reasons for seeing a list of new programmes added to the
cache after a refresh is that such a list gives reason that the
updating has indeed occurred.

Over the last few weeks I have been assuming that the TV cache has
been updated OK.

BUT when I set Added Since (hours) = 1 whilst I get many Radio
programmes listed, I get none for TV. Adjusting the Added Since
(hours) to say 2000 - OK OTT - I DO get TV programmes listed - BUT
THEY ARE 14 DAYS AGO OR MORE.

This implies to me that the TV cache is not refreshing, and has not for 14 days.

How can I tell if it is please?

Chris B.
