Trying to download last two days on Get Iplayer Automator, version: 1.24.4, loads the searched programs, then when you hit the start button, nothing happens, no starting download, nothing ... just sits there and does not complete the task

INFO: Indexing tv programmes (concurrent) INFO: Added 0 tv programmes to cache INFO: 8403 matching programmes <AppController: 0x7f947721e210>: Index Updated.

INFO: Loading proxy settings... INFO: No proxy to load INFO: Proxy load complete. INFO: No proxy will be used AppController: Starting Downloads

Says starting downloads but nothing happens ... ???

Check your download queue and make sure there are no blank lines, and specifically no empty 'Programme ID' entries. I fixed a bug recently where if the program ID was blank or otherwise invalid the download queue would silently stop. Based on your description I think that's what the problem is.

skovatch commented 1 year ago

If that is indeed the problem I will push an update soon since this seems to be a somewhat common problem.

Thanks for the suggestion Scott, not working for two days and then last night it was back working as normal … I have no idea why …… Thanks Dsanfor67

@skovatch Maybe before you do, you could also test the case, where the queue contains an item with a valid Programme ID field, but where the Show and Episode fields are blank.

It happens that especially ITV are sloppy with new entries, and leave those two fields blank. Typically they adjust the fields in a day or two. But it would be nice to be able to download the show, before they discover their error.
