George I think you are correct that the web PVR is just a front end for the CLI pvr running in the background. It doesn't rely on Chrome or windows to actually do anything.
I don't think you are correct regarding 4hr Cache refresh when using the web PVR (although I can't explain this inconsistency - see below) The Cache used to refresh every 4 hours using the web PVR without the refresh cache page being open. I have used the GiP web PVR for approx. 8 years and on one occasion whilst on holidays for 5 weeks I returned home to see that GiP had recorded everything in my PVR list over the previous 5 weeks and stuff broadcast within the previous 12 hours - so clearly still working. Now if I leave the refresh cache page open it all works without human intervention. Can I explain the change in behaviour - no I can't, but I am just happy that it works as intended if in a slightly different manner.

I think there are two issues getting confused here, refreshing the web page on the web PVR (which is a browser issue) and refreshing the cache which is a different thing. I am not aware that the web PVR has ever refreshed the cache, it is just a web front end for get_iplayer and its CLI pvr. I have the CLI pvr running in the background (get_iplayer_pvr.cmd), this does the 4hr refresh on the cache and automatically downloads any matching items from the pvr list then I can use the web pvr as a front end to edit the pvr list and pick nay individual programmes I want to download if they are not in the PVR list. The web PVR on its own only looks at the cache, it doesn't update it nor does it automatically download items in the PVR list.
