Hi People
I've noticed that the --pvr or --pvr-run option does not work in the current release (for me) - It registers no hits. However if I run --pvr-run PVRname, get-iplayer finds programs and downloads as usual.
What should be the standard permissions of the PVR files and does anyone have any ideas what is happening?
I've written a simple bash script which works and itterates through the PVR list (if it helps anyone else
Code:
!/usr/bin/env bash
cd /home/pi/.get_iplayer/pvr
for i in *; do
get-iplayer --pvr-run $i;
done
We can't even guess what is happening on your machine if you don't show it.
Read our instructions before posting. Without a proper report, we have no clue what you are really doing, and no way even to attempt diagnosing what is wrong with
--pvr functionality on your machine.
Um, I'm not sure how the output will help you but here it is
pi@PiServer ~ $ get-iplayer --pvr

Running PVR Searches:

However, runing get-iplayer --pvr-run program where program is a saved PVR search from pvr-add in the .get_iplayer/PVR folder works
i.e.
pi@PiServer ~ $ get-iplayer --pvr-run pointless

Hope this helps
Sorry for the abridged data - I usually run get-iplayer overnight - I'll Provide full log from tonight's action
If you had followed our instructions, the output might actually be useful.
Ok here is the verbose output for the pvr run(log.txt) and for pvr-run pointless (log2.txt - I've killed the download as it is in peak time-> expensive)
log2.txt
log.txt
Thanks. As you can see, all the files are accessible in both cases. Now dump the output from get_iplayer --pvr-list to a file and post it as an attachment.
Ignore that last post. I see your problem now. You have a bogus entry in your options file:
search (modes=tvworst,radiobetter)
That kills the pvr searches. Remove the options file entry.
Thanks - that seems to have solved the problem
Sorry about the confusion re earlier posts, I was interested in seeing whether I (that I had) had borked get-iplayer (and thus needed to fix it) or if it was an artefact of recent changes in the code due to problems with BBC changing format.
I really appreciate such awesome help - Thanks again
