Radio Programme Not in Cache

[Budge]

Hi all and sorry if this has all been explained before. I wanted to
record "The Book of Dust" so refreshed my cache by running get_iplayer
thinking I would find the index number and get it as usual but the title
does not appear.

I therefore downloaded it using pid but can somebody explain why the
title does not show in cache. Is it because it is just too soon, the
programme was only broadcast yesterday, or something more sinister?

Forget this please. Found it. I was looking under "The" not "Drama"
Please forgive.

The name, longname and nameshort for b099tf53 are Drama. Everything after
the first hyphen is ignored. You can demonstrate that the programme is
indeed in your cache by using
drama
as a search string. In mine it is fourth from the bottom.

If you want to search for a string which extends beyond the first hyphen
such as
"Drama - The Book of Dust"
or some sub-string, such as
dust or
"book of dust"
you need to use the --long option.

See --long in

As for whether it's been explained before, the last time I remember was when
Phil Lewis was still involved.

... And for those monitoring the Support Forums,
there is a related issue/thread posted as recently as
Oct 16th; plus there's me mentioning this subject
somewhere inside
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/get_iplayer/2017-September/011174.html
which was last month...

Cheers,
