Re: PVR won't display - ?hanging
No worries. It’s still happening - it’s been happening for several weeks. The PC has been rebooted several times in that period, as well as get_iplayer being upgraded. I’ll try the cache rebuild. I’ve noticed that I have a similar problem with a legacy email/spam manager that I use - popfile. It too uses a localhost website to manage things and it too is slow to display. It’s never not displayed, but something is amiss as the formatting is now wrong more often than not. Could Norton be slowing localhost websites down or causing them to time out?

Point a web browser on your phone to the ip address of your PC with the port address appended so something like http://192.168.1.1:9335 -- __ __| |_ __ __ .. / _/ _` \ 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

If so, why can't you take a look at that web page on your phone? That would help identify the problem area. Then once you know that you can try to track down the cause. -- __ __| |_ __ __ .. / _/ _` \ 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
