PVR not working -- Ubuntu

user-735

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:

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:

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.
