Thanks for the extra info.

Just incase there was a difference between Vista & 7...

Fired up desktop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.

Clicked the Web PVR Manager icon (running GiP 2.91) - no cache refresh, as I would expect.

Upgraded to GiP 2.93 and rebooted pc.

Clicked the Web PVR Manager icon - no cache refresh, as I would expect.

So same as Vista for me.


Some of my settings in Web PVR are as follows;
Advanced search tab - Added Since (hours) set to 1
Recording tab - Auto-Refresh Cache Interval and Auto-Run PVR Interval both set to 12 (this is so I can leave it running overnight without auto-refreshing/running.  Although after cache refresh I usually close the window

On start up there is no auto-refresh of cache and I have zero programmes listed (because nothing has been added within the last hour).

I then proceed to update tv and/or radio cache as required by ticking the relevant Programme type box and clicking Refresh Cache.


If the Get_iPlayer icon is used first then that does do an auto cache refresh.  It used to be a radio refresh but changed (v2.92?, Dinkypumpkin would know when) to a tv refresh.

My (Vista) icon links are as follows (untouched by me!);
Web PVR Manager - C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c pvr_manager.cmd
Get_iPlayer - C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k get_iplayer.cmd --search dontshowanymatches && get_iplayer.cmd --help


Hope this helps.

Regards,
M.
