OK, so in the past I've had some PIDS not work for me --playlist-metadata solved that. No I've come across two PIDS that I can't get to work at all. When I hit this problem I upgraded to 2.92 and I'm still having the problem.

get_iplayer Output:

Tried --playlist-metadata, didn't work. Tried the url and got:

get_iplayer Output:

A possible related issue is - when I do --refresh a number of the download urls fail, however from what I can see this just affects shows from BBC Parliament, not BBC2 where this one was broadcast.

Help please!

Both of these bugs have been fixed for next release:

https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/issues/145
https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/issues/153

So the short answer is: stop using

Code:
--refresh-future

until next release. However, even using a cache created with

Code:
--refresh-future

you can still download the Churchill programme with

Code:
--future

. You can also ignore the warnings about BBC Parliament - they only pertain to future listings, not downloads (except in the unlikely event you use

Code:
--refresh-feeds=schedule

Managed to download the Churchill show by using

Code:
--future

. Thanks for that
So does this mean for certain programmes, the PVR won't work until the next release? Is there no workaround? What if I put

Code:
--future

in my default settings? I tried adding

Code:
--future

to the pvr_scheduler batch file, this didn't work.

Code:
--future

is ignored in pvr. Like I said, stop using

Code:
--refresh-future

until next release. Remove it from preferences if necessary and rebuild your cache without it. If you don't want to do that for some reason, your only choice for affected programmes is to do ad hoc downloads with

Code:
--future

.

EDIT: no need to stop using

Code:
--refresh-feeds=schedule
