I wouldn't call myself an expert, I've just inferred things with experience.
Each programme/series to be recorded has its own file in the pvr folder. The
filename is irrelevant, except for the ONCE files generated by the web
interface. I have all mine with a .txt suffix and edit them with notepad. I
will often generate them with the web interface, but that doesn't allow for
pidrecursive, so I manually edit them, as that will pick up any available
programmes in a series even if they are not in the cache.
The pvr will also use any settings in your options file, unless you have an
over-riding setting in your pvr file, e.g. the output setting for where the
files go.
When it runs, the pvr reads all the files in the folder, then processes them
one at a time. Once it is running, any changes you make to the files won't be
picked up until the following run.
I can't comment on the file sizes, they will depend on your settings for
quality etc. My Digging for Britain files are around 2 Gb each, if that
compares with yours.
If other GiP users aren't interested in this, we can take the conversation out
of the list, is you wish.

The last two lines will pick up all available episodes. Change the
other settings to your own preferences. The filename is whatever you
want it to be.

Hi Don,
Many thanks. Clearly I am a still a beginner.
First, where are these settings saved? Did you enter them using a string of
commands after --pvr-add or edit a settings file?
I do have a pvr folder but this only contains a single line for each title, no
other details. Can I just add these options as you have shown for each title as
appropriate? I had been discouraged from editing by hand back in the day.
Another question. I am just downloading using --pid --pid-recursive and the
files I am getting are huge. A one hour programme is using more space than a
three hour HD download of Dune! I have no idea why or what use this data is
but I doubt my eyes could benefit even if I had an 8K TV, which I don't.
Please can you advise how I should adjust my settings to save some disk space
to something more reasonable?
Thanks again,
Regards,
Alastair.

Sods law has it. I have just this evening tried to use GiP for the
first time in a year and found nothing. Good job I came here as now
I can see what is going on.
While waiting for BBC to sort out the problem please could I have a
refresher course on downloading the Digging for Britain series. I
know I must use --pvr-add but can I use a recursive tool or do I have
to use the --pid-recursive option.
Forgive me but I have forgotten everything
Alastair.
