This has become such a long complex layout of an email I have binned it and
started again!

I think there are two issues getting confused here, refreshing the web page
on the web PVR (which is a browser issue) and refreshing the cache which is
a different thing.

I am not aware that the web PVR has ever refreshed the cache, it is just a
web front end for get_iplayer and its CLI pvr. I have the CLI pvr running in
the background (get_iplayer_pvr.cmd), this does the 4hr refresh on the cache
and automatically downloads any matching items from the pvr list then I can
use the web pvr as a front end to edit the pvr list and pick nay individual
programmes I want to download if they are not in the PVR list. The web PVR
on its own only looks at the cache, it doesn't update it nor does it
automatically download items in the PVR list.

Cheers

George
