excluding matches in PVR searches

[Bill Denton]

I was hand editing the config files because it was quicker to create
lots of searches. It appears that the order in the pvr config files is
important. I found that by doing:
get_iplayer --pvradd test1 --output "/storage/music/BBC Radio 4/I'm
Sorry I Haven't A Clue/" --preset pvr_radio "I'm Sorry I Haven't A
Clue" --exclude-channel "BBC 7"
NFO: Using user options preset 'pvr_radio'
INFO: Saving PVR search 'test1':
        excludechannel BBC 7
        output /storage/music/BBC Radio 4/I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue/
        preset pvr_radio
        search0 I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue

get_iplayer --pvr test1 --test
Running PVR Searches:
test1

So that is the exclude-channel working. However, not so sure the
general regrep exclude is working:
get_iplayer --pvradd test1 --output "/storage/videos/Videos/Doctor
Who/Series 5/" "Doctor Who" --exclude "trail"
INFO: Saving PVR search 'test1':
        exclude trail
        output /storage/videos/Videos/Doctor Who/Series 5/
        search0 Doctor Who

get_iplayer --pvr test1 --test
Running PVR Searches:
test1
Matches:
200:    Doctor Who - Doctor Who trail - The Adventure Games, BBC One,
Drama,SciFi & Fantasy,TV, default

INFO: 1 Matching Programmes

Also the following gave the same behaviour:
get_iplayer --pvradd test1 --output "/storage/videos/Videos/Doctor
Who/Series 5/" "Doctor Who" --exclude ".*trail.*"
INFO: Saving PVR search 'test1':
        exclude .*trail.*
        output /storage/videos/Videos/Doctor Who/Series 5/
        search0 Doctor Who
