I would like to create a saved PVR pid-recursive search (after seeing a
recent topic)
I've tried a number of different sytax, including:
Code:
get_iplayer --pid=b0909rxg --pid-recursive
and
Code:
fields pid
subtitles 0
thumb 0
type tv
search0 --pid=b093ypxy --pid-recursive
neither of which seem to work
Could someone give me an example of a search I can save as a file to be used by the PVR?

A PVR search with
--pid-recursive is very, very rarely useful. It is really only appropriate for timed-release series not broadcast on linear services (e.g., a few BBC Three series) or programmes anthologised under a different title, like the Comedy of the Week podcast referenced in that other thread ( though for podcasts you should just use a podcast client and not jump through get_iplayer's hoops). Your example is definitely not one of those, so you'll be wasting your time. Just search for "Midnight's Children".

That's a recursive download, but you have omitted the options necessary to save it as a PVR search . See the documentation and guides.

You've entered command options as search terms. Surely you wouldn't expect that to work, particularly since you're trying to perform an operation that shouldn't have search terms. Don't edit configuration files directly until you understand the syntax. Again, see the documentation, or better yet, let the command line do the work for you.

I have tried to read those, and your previous reply regarding a saving a pid as a search, which is kind of why I asked here. I have had another look at
pvr documentation but I couldn't see a clear example.
After a bit of messing about I found that
Code:
get_iplayer --pvr-add _strike3_tv --pid=b093ypxy --pid-recursive
from the command line did what I wanted which resulted in this saved text search:
Code:
pid b093ypxy
pidrecursive 1

Well in this case it is, it is for set of programs with different titles for Strike from bbc2 TV which I don't think would be caught by the usual title search

It's a wiki, so feel free to add an example specific to your use.

No messing about required. All PVR searches are created from the command line the same way, with
--pvr-add or
--pvr-queue, as shown in the documentation. If for some reason you assumed there was something different about using
--pid and
--pid-recursive, that isn't the case, as you've demonstrated.

You could handle Strike by searching on the programme name, but it also would qualify as an anthology series, so a candidate for
--pid-recursive.
