get_iplayer forums

I am suffering a PVR problem. It just refuses to do anything.

I have

get_iplayer Output:

$ get_iplayer --pvr-list

All PVR Searches:



pvrsearch = drblake

	search0 = The Doctor Blake Mysteries



pvrsearch = later

	search0 = later

But this is what happens:

get_iplayer Output:

$ get_iplayer --pvr --verbose

Running PVR Searches:

It will not do any search, and actually will not even initiate an update of the listings if it should.

get_iplayer works fine for doing a regular search and download. It is only pvr that is like this.

I tried an uninstall and reinstall (I am on Ubuntu running from the ppa) but still no luck. Maybe I didn't remove everything?

It appears you cut off the output at "Running PVR Searches:". Post the full output (scrub username as necessary). If you didn't cut off the the output yourself, then post the output from get_iplayer --show-prefs (scrub username as necessary).

Try creating a new pvr job to see if it is processed. If so, delete and re-create an existing pvr job to see if it is processed. If so, since you only have 3 pvr jobs, delete and re-create the rest.

Sorry, no, I didn't cut off at the search. That's the end! The line below that was the command prompt!

Here is the output from prefs:

get_iplayer Output:

$ get_iplayer --show-prefs

Options in '/home/admin/.get_iplayer/options'

	command = AtomicParsley "<filename>" --stik <ext> --year <firstbcast> --tracknum <episodenum> --TVEpisodeNum <episodenum> --TVNetwork <channel> --artwork "<thumbfile>" --TVShowName <name>

	refreshfeedstv = schedule

	subdirformat = <nameshort>-<seriesnum>

	since = 504

	thumb = 1

	tag_podcast_radio = 1

	fileprefix = <nameshort><.senum><.episodeshort>

	output = /home/admin/iplayer

	subdir = 1

	modes = flashhd,flashvhigh,flashhigh,flashstd,flashnormal,flashlow,flashaachigh,flashaacstd,flashaudio,flashaaclow,wma

	thumbsize = 6

	nopurge = 1

	metadata = generic

	search = (check-duration=1)

	subtitles = 1

And new pvr jobs do not work either. These jobs are new. I deleted all my old jobs already.

As I suspected - you broke your settings. Remove this line from your options file:

Code:
search = (check-duration=1)

Thanks.
I copied these settings from my windows box where they work fine! Strange.
