I suspect I caused a bit of confusion, perhaps I should have altered the
subject to reflect the trangression from the original question.
Don's response mentioned using the series pid and recursive option to
follow a series, as I've a simple search for "click" it could be prone
to picking up anything with click in the title so was interested in
switching my pvr configs over.
I also had "the repair shop" in my pvr and discovered the fixing britain
series due to it matching, this was probably a good thing as they were
also interesting to watch even if a lot of the content was the same it
added some general history but that's going off topic ;)

Ah fair enough, I was just a bit thrown as to why you would need/want to
exclude a load of channels when you have specified a PID, but it sounds like
they are probably the defaults for your web PVR and get_iplayer has copied
them to the pvr file.

I'm not sure that you've followed the thread fully, George.
Your search will pick up "The Repair Shop" programmes in the cache, no
problem. The original question (from Steve Wilson) is about picking up
programmes that are not in the cache, but available on iPlayer, such as
"box
sets" and those broadcast through the "red button" or the iPlayer itself,
like
the Formula E races.
Admittedly in my example only two or three of the lines are essential -
pid,
pidrecursive, and output (if you don't want all downloads going to the
same
folder).
The others are put there by the "web interface" as they are my default
options.
I hope that's clear.
Don

As an example, this is my file for "The Repair Shop":
==========================================================

ireland,wales pid b08l581p modes best output V:\BBC iPlayer

Obviously some of your settings will differ. I also use a .txt suffix
on
all my pvr
files as it makes them easier to edit.

I believe that only programmes that are broadcast through the

To pick up others such as these and "box sets" you should use the
series
pid and the recursive option.

...
Would this be more reliable for other series too? For example having
"search0 Click" for pvr can match other things too so I've other
options
and
excludes.
Do you have an example or link I can use to configure pvr to do this?
Steve.
