Help please with pvr command

[Budge]

I am trying to download "Afternoon Concert - Opera Matinee:" using pvr.

I don't want every afternoon concert, just the opera matinees.

Exactly what expression do I add to my list with --pvr-add? Darned if I
can get it right so help sought please.

Budge.

It's a long time since I used the PVR, so I can't answer about that.
However you problem is a Search problem.

get_iplayer matinee --type radio
returns 0 matching programmes.

I can remember having it explained to me by Phil Lewis, which gives you
an idea of how long ago it was. A default search will ignore everything
after the first -. The solution is to use the --long or -l option. You
may then need to refine your search to avoid having your search string
matched in other fields, or confine your search to one or more of the
other fields.

Hi Richard,
Very many thanks. The --long option worked using command line. New for
me.
I have put what I think is required in the pvr list on basis of what
worked so we shall see.
Thanks again,
Budge
