--pvrqueue automatically adds future recordings?

[Andy Bircumshaw]

Hi there,

I'm getting weird different results between searching for (some) programmes and adding them to my pvr queue.

--future does not seem to be amongst my default options:

$ get_iplayer --prefs-show 
Options in '/home/stroller/.get_iplayer/options'
        radiomode = flashaachigh,flashaacstd
        tvmode = flashhd,flashvhigh,flashhigh,flashstd,flashnormal
        nopurge = 1
        output = /mnt/space/Media/BBC/
$

I can "fix" this by running `get_iplayer --refresh`, but I have `get_iplayer --type radio --refresh && get_iplayer --refresh --refresh-future` running as a regular cronjob so that my search results are never delayed by an out-of-date cache and because it's sometimes useful just to --pvr-queue future results for a series (effectively queuing them by PID) rather than adding a search (using "--pvr-add").

Can anyone else reproduce this, please?

When I started looking at this problem I was really confused by what might be causing it, but as soon as I realised the extra shows were --future listings it suddenly made sense. I guess it'll be a simple fix and I'll have a dig at it as long as we can all agree that I'm not going crazy and that this is a bug (not a feature). I've experienced this with another show in the last week, too.
