TV cache not updating ...

[CJB]

This is still bugging me. It hasn't updated since 14-Oct-2017

This pertains to v3.06 using the Windows PVR

In the User/get_iplayer forlder I just renamed the tv.cache files to tvx.cache

Then I re-ran the tv cache refresh. It produced a new tv.cache file of 1KB

Opening with Notepad this had

#index|type|name|pid|available|expires|episode|seriesnum|episodenum|versions|duration|desc|channel|categories|thumbnail|timeadded|guidance|web

Any nothing else.

Any ideas please?

If there are a number of you with the same problem, namely cache not
updating, it may help if you try to identify what you have in common.

Have you asked in the forum?

What happens if you try to load a page such as
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/programmes/schedules/this_week
in your browser?

What happens if you try to download a programme by PID?

Best wishes

Agreed, Richard, I think we may share the same issue. As I said in my posts
on the subject, I can download using --pid as normal. I did also check last
night that my browser could view the schedule page, which it did. On the
other hand, my browser is windows native while I run get_iplayer under the
cygwin unix emulator, so I may not be comparing apples with apples. I don't
use X windows so no proper browser in cygwin but maybe I could try lynx
when I'm next at the computer.

I don't know whether this could be related, but I was declined a secure
connection to one website yesterday by firefox, which complained about an
out of date certificate, having an expiry date about the same as my last
successful cache update. Could it be a root certificate issue? I know very
little about SSL.

Thanks,
Jon
