excluding shows from PVR

user-764

hi all,

I've set up a PVR so that it captures a full channel - CBeebies - (primarily so that I can capture any new shows), however I would now like to exclude certain shows form being downloaded.

i've set up the following in the PVR file options, but it doesn't seem to be working. Is my syntax correct? Do I need wildcards?

get_iplayer Output:

attempts 1
channel Cbeebies
refreshinclude CBeebies
type tv
search0
search1 .*
exclude "3rd and Bird|ZingZillas"

regards,

dave

  1. Remove search1 .*
  2. Change search0 to search0 .*
  3. Remove quotes from "3rd and Bird|ZingZillas"

Thank as always user-2! I'll give that a shot when I get home.

One further question if I may, how does the exclude line work.

i.e. will it match any mention of ZingZillas (even if it is in at the start/end/middle) or is it an exact match only?

--exclude value is evaluated as Perl regular expression, so matches anywhere unless you construct it to do otherwise.  If value is comma-separated list of programme names, get_iplayer constructs a regular expression for you.
