PVR Search

user-132

Hi,

If I want to record, say, all episodes of 'Strictly Come Dancing', could you please remind me how I would add that to the PVR search list?

I've seen exampled of how to add the item as follows:

get_iplayer --pvr-add=Top_Gear --type=tv "Top Gear"

... but how do I know exactly what get_iplayer expects between the quotes?

i.e.

get_iplayer --pvr-add=Top_Gear --type=tv "Strictly Come Dancing"
get_iplayer --pvr-add=Top_Gear --type=tv "Strictly"
get_iplayer --pvr-add=Top_Gear --type=tv "StrictlComeDancing"

The current searches I have I setup via the GUI, but that's a real pain to get working on a RPi (veeeery slow).

Thank you

Simply search for the term first as normal without 'getting' a programme as so:

Code:
get_iplayer "strictly"

... and see what that outputs. If it correctly identifies the programmes you want, use that string in the command you send to add a PVR. If not then try another like:

Code:
get_iplayer "strictly come"

...and see if that works.

Once you have the search that is working for you, use that in the command you give to the PVR.
