No, I haven't bothered. In general I haven't felt any need for it.

I tend to get around 1 -2 hours per morning to let gip fetch TV items in
the mornings as I prepare breakfast, etc. Usually this is plenty of time to
let the machine chug though the list I've given it.

In some cases I also fetch things during the day. I only have to keep in
mind not to do this too often.

I wrote a few more list files this morning. FWIW I write a plain text file
that just has two bits of data per line. The first specifies which of the
predefined methods to use. The second gives the pid to get. Then in the
morning I just drag and drop the file onto my 'gipper' program's icon and
it gets going.

As last year, I'd found the page that lists all the 'TV' items from proms
so I can get either the full concert or selected items. There are some
'extras' I noticed. e.g. the 'Cello' file where the cellist has a lightshow
on her cello as she plays an excerpt.

It is worrying that you report blips in radio 320k fetches. As you'd expect
I'm also fetching R3 Proms as 320k aac using mpeg-dash. I always have to
listen to things like this well after 'live' for various reasons. So may
well not find some problems before some proms cease to be available for a
re-fetch!
