Only a few fields in --info output are derived from the cache data used for searches. You would be waiting until (relative) doomsday to index all metadata for all available programmes. The only really useful search fields are the ones shown in the doc examples. The use of "available" is a bit of a fluke that only works because it is stored as a formatted date/time. As was mentioned by Chris Walker, you also have --available-since and --available-before to bracket searches by availability time. Otherwise, crack open one of your cache files - fields names at at the top. They are the same field names shown in docs for use with --listformat. _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
