Radio 1 Vintage
Hi all The BBC are broadcasting programmes on a "pop-up" station called Radio 1 Vintage. They do not appear to be picked up in the radio cache. I have found a way of recording them using the PVR and the pid recursive option (there is a series pid for the programmes) but out of curiosity, is there a way to "force" GiP to pick up the programmes? Thanks for you help. Don ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
Re: Missing PIDs
Hello Shareef If you haven't run GiP for some time, it's likely that the programme you are trying to record is not in the cache as the source now used is only good for the last seven days. If you run GiP once a week (or more often) the cache will build up to four weeks' worth of programmes, with older programmes (28 days or a bit more) being removed from the cache. I'm fairly sure that's how it works since the last major rebuild following the BBC's changes to the source that GiP uses. If it's not in the cache, your search won't find a match, but using the pid allows GiP to get the programme source directly, even if it's not in the cache. If I'm wrong, I'm sure that somebody will correct me.

Re: Disabling television mode
I don't think that is illegal. That is because it is the house that is licensed not the person. Anyone can watch a tv that is on those premises. No they can't/couldn't. Did they not have to be members of your family / household (or guests)? Are you sure? You may well be right but I have not seen that documented. Colin While this is getting wildly OT, it IS the premises that are licensed. You need separate licenses in "houses in multiple occupation" if people have their own lockable entrance door (e.g. student lets). Commercial premises (offices, shops and factories etc.) need a licence but anybody on the premises can watch. I'm not sure about hotels, they will probably be dealt with differently.

Hi again, Don :-) Much like Howard, I do not use the Web PVR Manager (GUI), except for testing things... When you said you tried adding the "equivalent command" to the "pvr", what did you actually do? In the above context, does "pvr" = "Web PVR Manager" or were you actually trying to set up a PVR job?

Hi Don - it depends on what you mean by "default"; have a quick read of: https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/webpvr#settings By "default" I mean those that are saved by the "Save as Default" button. This covers those, so thank you. Changes to the WebPVR "defaults" made through the GUI are stored as browser cookies, from "localhost" (or "127.0.0.1", in older versions of the WeBPVR) hostname - if you have browser addons or browser settings that clear cookies after browser is exited, those "settings" will be lost. You then have to exclude "localhost" from its cookies being wiped out, if you want those settings to persist between browser sessions. The WebPVR picks other GiP settings from GiP's options files, system options: %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\get_iplayer\options User options: %USERPROFILE%\.get_iplayer\options Please do read https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/webpvr#relationship-to-cli carefully, to understand how the "CLI" settings (stored in options files) and in what hierarchy are being used by the GUI along the ones stored in browser cookies. I am aware of that file, which applies to any way that GiP commands are launched. I'm trying to switch from Chrome to Firefox The "Web PVR Manager" windows shortcut always opens the system default browser - as Alan has suggested, if you want to use Firefox for the WebPVR, then you should make Firefox the default browser. If you are currently only experimenting, then, once Web PVR Manager launches Google Chrome, you can exit Chrome, launch Firefox and open a "http://localhost:1935/"; firefox tab to access the local WebPVR server. Yes, been doing that, no problem. (What I have done personally is keep IE as the system default, but modified "pvr_manager.cmd" file to use Firefox in a new tab: - .\pvr_manager.url + "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P default -new-tab "http://localhost:1935/"; use at your own risk...) There be serpents! :-) ... and one OT comment: While you are trying to switch from Chrome to Firefox, the Mozilla devs are doing all their best to ape/clone Chrome!
