Thanks for version 3.00 - currently running here on Ubuntu 16.04 and catching up on the last week's programmes.
lastbcastdate doesn't work any more, as indicated in release notes
Don't think running
Code:
get_iplayer --cache-init --type="tv,radio"
took an enormous amount of time but I didn't sit watching it.
After the warnings about cache_init taking 5-10 minutes, I was very pleasantly surprised that it took about a minute on my PC, with a 20 Mbps internet connection. The first time I did it from with the web front end (Refresh Cache) and this took about the same length of time as the command-line cache_init (rather than the previous refresh), even though the first downloaded far fewer programmes.
Let's hope everything works for a while and that the BBC don't throw spanners in the works quicker than the guys at Get-iPlayer can find workarounds.
I found I didn't have Mojolicious installed, I thought I'd checked it was - I got "INFO: Using sequential indexing".
So installed libmojolicious-perl 6.15 and refreshing the cache gave "INFO: Using concurrent indexing".
One other slight problem: I couldn't find Sunday evening's snooker (b08pms43) in the TV cache, even after I'd refreshed it.
Sunday afternoon's session (b08pms41) and both of Monday's (today's) sessions - b08pmslg and b08pmslj - are there.
Got it OK using the pid but I don't know why it's not in the cache.
NB I ran
Code:
get_iplayer --cache-init --type="tv,radio"
before doing anything else.
Edit: update, solved my own problem.
Having noticed that yesterday evening's Line of Duty was also missing from the cache, I ran --cache-init again just now and both missing programmes are now in the cache. Presumably something to do with my running --cache-init before the programmes were available?
Perfect! What else can I say? Thanks EVER so much for 3.00. Works perfectly on Windows. Installation painless. Cache refresh painless. Just resumes downloading as if get_iplayer had never broken. We can guess how much pain behind the scenes was necessary to make up for the lack of XML. Thanks for keeping it alive.
Hi there
I posted this also but for people reading this thread -- on Linux if you don't have mojolicious installed (or perl-mojolicious) or not available in your repos then it's an easy 1 line install from here
[color=#aa0066]http://mojolicious.org/[/color] in addition to other the other perl modules required if they don't install by default.
You also don't need to uninstall previous version.
I think we're all pleased that this excellent program is working again
Thanks from appreciative users for all the effort and time put into this project.
Cheers
Thanks Dinky for all your hard work fixing this and keeping get_iplayer alive! Works great here.
I've noticed that the AOD xml listings are still alive if that helps radio listings:
