PVR Search limit?

user-341

After upgrading to v2.85 Web PVR search only shows 40 programmes, whatever channel I select, tried BBC Radio 1 & 4, previously R4 would bring up 1000+

Is there a setting that limits the number of displayed programmes?

Use
Code:
get_iplayer --prefs-show
to see if the
Code:
limitmatches
option is set. You can't read or write that option from the Web PVR. There may be something else going on if you really see 1000+ programmes for Radio 4. That would equate to roughly 150 programmes per day, which simply isn't impossible.

Code:
Options in 'C:\Users\tahirs/.get_iplayer/options'
        isodate = 1
        info = 1
        fileprefix = <firstbcastdate><_name><_episodenum>
        output = J:\get_iplayer
        subdir = 0



I definitely used to get a lot more than 40 as I wasn't time limiting my searches, but either way it's extremely unlikely that both R1 & R4 would show exactly 40 matches

Kill the Web PVR, close your browser and delete any cookies associated with host 127.0.0.1. Those cookies would have been set if you clicked "Save as Default". Then run
Code:
get_iplayer --prefs-del --info
to remove
Code:
info
from your options file (and never ever put it there again). After you restart the Web PVR, click "Refresh Cache" to do just that, then click the "Search" tab to refresh the search results. You should see a bit more than 1200 TV programmes in today's results.

All works fine now, thanks for your help
