get_iplayer forums

I use get-iplayer --pvr but every now and then, I get a glitch and I lose my download_history.

When this happens, I get the following (for example):

Code:
TV-Kazoops

Matches:

3222:   Kazoops - Animal Pals, CBeebies, b07hjq65

3223:   Kazoops - Backyard Beach, CBeebies, b07hjx7m

3225:   Kazoops - Tiny Little Me, CBeebies, b07hk7tr

Is there any way to inject these lines into the download_history to prevent them even trying in the future?

Thanks!

Just use a text editor. Copy an existing entry and change as necessary. The PID field is the most important for preventing download attempts.

Just to follow up on that.

I did some linux command line trickery, and got to the following:

grep -E ^[0-9] output_of_get_iplayer | cut -d, -f 3 | grep [a-z]0 | cut -c 2-10 | uniq | sort > process.txt
grep -E ^[0-9] output_of_get_iplayer | cut -d, -f 4 | grep [a-z]0 | cut -c 2-10 | uniq | sort >> process.txt

This gave me a list of PIDs. I then opened this in an editor, and added the 17 pipe characters to the end, and pasted that to the end of the file. Seems to have worked!

All the best,

Jon

You can also let get_iplayer take the strain:

Code:
get_iplayer kazoops --listformat='<pid>|||||||||||||||||' | grep '|' >> $HOME/.get_iplayer/download_history
