Hi Ralph

The way the cache is refreshed has changed so much recently that I may be 
confusing a historical regime with the present one.

My understanding is that the 30 day limit refers to how long entries remain 
in the cache.  Programmes older than 30 days are discarded.  The schedules 
only exist for this week and last week, so it is not possible to add 
programmes more than 2 weeks old.  Future programmes can also be added, but 
I do not know how they are handled.

The v3.00 release notes
https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/release300to309#release300
state,
The slower updates are compensated for by the fact that the cache is now 
updated only once per calendar week (Mon-Sun). The cache will be updated the 
first time get_iplayer runs during the week.

My cache still seems to refresh every 4 hours, so I may have got it 
completely wrong.

Best wishes
Richard
