Hi. :)
get_iplayer 2.97-ppa26
Linux Mint 18
I first installed get_iplayer on Linux a fews days ago, then I unistalled it and installed it again (yes, just for the sake of it, because I'm learning how to use Linux and I thought it was a good idea trying things).
I don't know if the issue arised before or after reinstallating, because I first attempted to use the search and index functions today.
About listing programmes.
I can't get the full list of available programmes.
get_iplayer searches for a list of programmes only if I use --refresh and only with --type=tv,radio (that is, if I use --type=radio only, nothing happens).
However, this way I only get the programmes that were added since the last time I refreshed. In other words, it's completely useless, as I often get 0 programmes.
Whether it works or not, depending on the command I give, the output always include info about get_iplayer failing to record a certain programme.
Here's a few examples.
Trying to get a list of radio programmes:
Trying to refresh:
Other search options, such as
get_iplayer --type=radio --channel="Radio 4"
or recording, for example by url:
get_iplayer --type=radio "http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b085hrsr"
don't work. The output is exactly the same as in example 1.
Recording by pid, on the other hand, works fine.
Thanks. :)
