Re: get_iplayer 3.35.0-MSWin32-x64 Web PVR not refreshing cache automatically
-- Original Message -- From jon92...@gmail.com To get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org Date 28/01/2024 02:50:46 Subject get_iplayer 3.35.0-MSWin32-x64 Web PVR not refreshing cache automatically I think this started in version 3.34.0. It seems the web PVR is not automatically refreshing the cache as it is supposed to, by default every 4 hours. I have Auto-Refresh Cache Interval and Auto-Run PVR Interval both set to 4 hours. My installation is essentially exactly as the default install apart from specifying different download folders for radio and tv. Jon - puzzled. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer I have also been experiencing issues with this in the web PVR on Windows 10 Pro with version 3.34.0. I've not yet gone to 3.35.0, but found that there were issues with "hibernating tabs" in Vivaldi, my default browser. For both the Cache and PVR Run tabs I went to the following address: vivaldi://discards and toggled the entry in the Auto Discardable column for them to disable this status. Since doing so all is working well again. I'm not sure if I will need to do this each time I start the Web PVR e.g. after a machine restart. I think this applies to most Chrome-based browsers as the original page I foumd mentioned was chrome://discards, Vivaldi changed the reference. The hibernation seems to stop the reload specified in the web page on initial load, 1 hour, 4 hours or whatever is selected in the Settings section of the Search PVR page initially displayed when the Web PVR is started.

Update crashes my PC.
I am running Windows 10 ver 1607. HP Compaq dc7800p Ultra Slim Desktop PC I have version get_iplayer 3.20. Installed. I want to update and have downloaded the Windows installer from.. https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer_win32/releases/tag/3.22.0 My problem is that whenever I try to launch the installer, from the downloaded .exe file, it crashes my PC. Firstly, I get the box in the middle of the screen and then it goes completely black. It flashes a couple of times and then freezes the PC. At this point I have to switch the PC off and restart. As I cannot install, this version, there is no log to show. I have installed this file on another PC and it went perfectly. I have tried various downloads, with the same result. Any help to get the upgrade done, would be gratefully received. Many thanks ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

Hello,

So, any leads? thanks very much.
I use get_iplayer with XBMC, with variable success. First thing is to
get files saved in a directory structure that matches what XBMC
expects - the following settings help (all are extracts from my
options file, not command lines ;-):
for TV programmes:
subdirformat = nameshort/Series_seriesnum
--- this puts tv programmes into a subdir matching the series name
(nameshort) and a further subdir reflecting the series number
subdir = 1
--- this says to use subdirectories
fileprefix = sseriesnumeepisodenum_
episode
--- the media file itself is prefixed with something like s1e1
metadata = xbmc
--- and tell get_iplayer to produce xbmc metadata
for films I use something slightly different, again to meet XBMC's
expectations:
subdirformat = nameshort
fileprefix = nameshort
--- (subdir and metadata remain the same as above)
--- this puts films into a single level of subdirectory matching the
name of the film
with these I find that xbmc generally finds and uses the metadata. I
select which set of options to use by using presets.
your other problem was with thumbnails:
for better or worse (ok, for worse) xbmc looks for an image file with
the same name as the media file but with a .tbn suffix (not .jpg).
You can write a script which moves or links the jpg thumbnail to a
.tbn file with the same basename, and then run this after every
download using the command option in get_iplayer. I'm going to
guess you're using some sort of linux, in which case you can do
something like this:
command = /home/media/scripts/finalise filename
(/home/media/scripts/finalise is the full pathname to my script,
filename including the quotes is the parameter - get_iplayer
expands this to the full pathname of the file, in quotes to stop
embedded spaces being a problem)
and then in the script something like
#!/bin/bash
filedir=$(dirname $mediafile)
cd $filedir
# link .jpg to .tbn if the .jpg exists
basefile=$(basename $1 ${mediafile##*.})
if [ -f ${basefile}.jpg ]; then
echo Linking artwork
ln ${basefile}.jpg ${basefile}.tbn
fi
(which is a little clunky - this is extracted from the script I use,
which always works in the same directory as the media file itself
because of some weirdness that existed in an mp4 optimizer I once
used. I never tidied up the script on the
it-ain't-broke-so-don't-fix-it basis.)

XBMC TV episode xml output
Hello, Apologies firstly if I have missed something obvious but I'm new to the list and archive and haven't been able to search it very effectively. Please bear with me if this repeats any discussion already existing there. I've been wanting for a while to view saved getIplayer TV items in XBMC. I am able to do this but program information output in either 'movie' or 'episode' format does not appear, nor do the thumnail images appear (instead XBMC seems to thumbnail the a screen grab from the programme). The folder containing GI items has it's content set to 'TV' with thetvdb.com as default scraper (this doesn't appear to be able to retrieve anything relevant or otherwise). I noticed that setting folder conent to 'movie' does in fact lead XBMC to display programme info correctly, but not the thumbail. This also causes all programmes to appear in the 'movies' list, which is unwanted as I'm aiming to keep movies and TV content separate. So, any leads? thanks very much.

Actually - I recall now that that isn't entirely true: the version of get_iplayer in the stable repositories is(was?) old (2.78) which doesn't work with the new Radio 4 Extra streams. Easily updated to the latest version from git at infradead. I think this an ffmpeg bug which has since been fixed, so hope to fix it with git version of ffmpeg which is compiling as we speak. And some advice for those compiling ffmpeg on a Linkstation: cross-compile! I didn't have my ARM toolchain to hand on my desktop, so just set it running on the box itself. It's done the job, but did take 18hrs+! Unfortunately, though it seems to have compiled fine and is working for video remuxing, it hasn't fixed the radio error, which fails at the second ffmpeg pass (Invalid non monotonically increasing dts). Evidently, this may be related to an old problem (http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/get_iplayer/2011-May/001504.html) that surfaced with live recordings, due to a partially corrupted download. As before, the 'partial' file still seems to play fine in my usual players, but I'll have a look into it further, unless anyone knows of any good solutions.

Using the latest clone `get_iplayer-git` fails to index any TV/Radio feeds: WARNING: Failed to get programme index feed for parliament from iplayer site INFO: Got 0 programmes (For a full, but not very interesting log, see: https://gist.github.com/1626831) I can open a feed (such as http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/bbctwo/list/limit/400) in a web browser successfully. How can I debug this further? I am using this [Arch Linux package][1], which threw an error since perl-http-cookies wasn't listed as a dependency. Could it be related somehow?
