In general version 3.0 is working fine for me (on Windows 10); even the initial cache update wasn't as slow as I feared, and a minor but annoying glitch with the previous few versions (some PVR links not working) has been fixed. Thank you!

There is, however, one programme that I cannot download: Horizon - ADHD and Me with Rory Bremner (27 April 2017) – http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08ny3mt. The PVR doesn't find it, and using the CLI with the --pid and --url options doesn't work either. There isn't even a message saying something like PID not found.

Any help would be appreciated – thanks.

Same problem as /thread-1293.html

Use --future

That was it – thank you. I had looked at the other thread but thought the symptoms were different enough that it was unlikely to be the same problem; evidently I was wrong.
