I'm running get_iplayer 3.18.0-MSWin32 from a Windows 7 command promt.
When searching my caches for programmes I get a nice listing of what I'm looking for. For example:
When I want to include only those programmes currently available I get the following search results:
get_iplayer is warning me that there is a future programme excluded from the results and giving me all the details of the programme excluded, despite me explicitly stating that I didn't want the information (by means of the --no-future option). These warnings take up more screen space than just listing the programme. To my mind this renders the --no-future option almost useless.
Would you consider removing these warnings (at least when only searching and not downloading), or adding a --suppress-future-warnings (along with its negation, --no-suppress-future-warnings) option or something similar?
