below is a hack that uses last week's schedules (and stuff before
today in this week's schedules) to enable some degree of searching for
tv programmes. Dinkypumpkin's proposed updates will almost certainly
provide a better solution, but this seems to be making the pvr work
again for me. YMMV
for Ubuntu users I'm in the process of rolling this into my ppa at
get-iplayer-testing and it should pop out of there in the next couple
of hours. To use the -testing ppa follow the instructions at
https://github.com/dinkypumpkin/get_iplayer/wiki/ubuntu but substitute
"jon-hedgerows/get-iplayer" for "jon-hedgerows/get-iplayer-testing".
You can download a patched copy of the get_iplayer script here:
