Re: Slow speed
And the way I have got to 87.6% is by stopping the transfer every 10% and doing a robocopy to a separate folder.

Re: Slow speed
The specifics of my repeated failures is: I'm trying to download the 2nd series of The Split. I used g --pid=p0818j9r --pid-recursive and got the 1st 3 episodes perfectly, followed by failed attempts at episodes 4-6. The I used this command g --pid p0818kjf,p0818l1y,p0818lfz to get the last 3 episodes - this has failed at least 10 times. And typidcal speeds I see vary between 0.3 to 1.1. I have tried at many different times throughout a 24-hour period. Errors I see are often like the following: INFO: Downloading tv: 'The Split: Series 2 - 05.

The first is that the programme has been broadcast or is going to be broadcast. The second is that it has been broadcast within the last 30 days or is going to be broadcast within whatever the time limit is for future programmes. That does not mean the search facility is useless or should be removed. It means you need to be aware of the limitations. The search box in the iPlayer is also very useful as an alternative search mechanism. You do need to be aware of how to extract PIDs. --pid-recursive is often very helpful, but it does not always work. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

Hi James, > It's my understanding that GiP indexes TV programs via the schedules.

I see a tweet that makes me think yesterday's ‘Daily Politics’ with Andrew Neil might be worth a watch and search lets me find its index to add to the PVR without leaving the terminal. It just needs to be defined well, and perhaps it is; I haven't read its documentation in the years since I first used it. -- Cheers, Ralph. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
Re: Search Fails to Find Early ‘Last Tango in Halifax’.
It's my understanding that GiP indexes TV programs via the schedules. Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong on that, but it would seem to make sense in this instance. S5E1 is on TV soon, so it shows up on the schedule. S1E1 hasn't been shown since 2012, and GiP won't go back in time by over 7 years every time you refresh it. The fact that the BBC are making more and more box-sets and old programs available means that as time goes by, the search in GiP will become less and less reliable. The availability of programs on the iPlayer no longer has a one-to-one mapping with what will be or has been on TV. If the GiP search isn't going to catch up to that fact, it may as well just be removed.
