Cannot download - "Ignoring Future Prog" (Top Gear / Charlie Brooker)

user-844

Since about 10 days ago get_iplayer is not finding some shows. When I run with verbose mode it gives the message:

"INFO: Ignoring Future Prog: '3736: Top Gear: Series 22 - Episode 2 - 2015-02-07T20:00:00Z'".

The programme was broadcast yesterday (1st Feb) and I am running the command on the evening of 2nd Feb. I can now get last week's show. I have already run the command "get_iplayer --refresh --type=tv" .

Has the BBC started putting a delay in programme availability, or is it just an issue for me?

I get the same issue on some shows but not all.

Many thanks

Looks like a glitch with
Code:
--refresh-feeds=schedule
where the BBC Three repeat overwrites the Sunday original. Either remove
Code:
--refresh-feeds=schedule
from your preferences and use default feeds or add
Code:
--future
to your download command.

get_iplayer "top gear" --get --future

has fixed the issue for me.

Many thanks for your assistance.
