Web_PVR Not Working

user-1791

I just upgraded to 3.18.0 version of get_iplayer on my Mac which is running macOS Sierra (10.12.6). Installation went smoothly and I can successfully download programs from the command line interface either using the get_iplayer command or the pvr_scheduler.

However when I attempt to use the Web_PVR I get a bunch of errors. I initiate the web_pvr using the Web PVR Manager launcher that is installed in /Applications/get_iplayer. This opens a Terminal window and I see the following:

get_iplayer Output:

/Applications/get_iplayer/Web\ PVR\ Manager.command ; exit;
Starting Web PVR Manager server...
Opening Web PVR Manager client...

A Safari window then opens showing the PVR Manager page. Confusingly the page is titled "get_iplayer Web PVR Manager v3.13 (not 3.18 as I might expect, 3.13 being the version installed prior to updating). When I try to update the cache I receive errors:

get_iplayer Output:

I also receive connection errors when I try to run the PVR. Not quite sure what is wrong - can anyone help?

It looks to me like your PVR is still running 3.13 so something didn't complete correctly in the upgrade.

As I'm not a Mac user I can't help further, but suggest you have another go at the upgrade.
