Can we have a timestamp on the refresh page?

user-926

This may be silly, but is it possible to put a timestamp on when the last refresh happened?

The reason I ask is that sometimes the refresh seems to "get stuck" and never actually does it. So, I go looking for something which I think should be in the cache and it says "not found". I know now that I have to close off the refresh tab and do another one - but sometimes I forget. And sometimes, the info I want really isn't there.

This addition would just make it slightly easier for me (and maybe others) to know whether there's a cache issue or an iPlayer issue.

Thanks for listening

Not from me. If you or anyone else should wish to implement it yourself, I'm obliged to caution you: If you want to add new features, you must take over as maintainer.

You can always check the age of your cache with:
Code:
get_iplayer --show-cache-age --type=all
If you can't remember when you last refreshed, just do it again. It will do no harm.
