get_iplayer change

[Davey]

It used to be that my normal get-iplayer instruction template included
the instruction "--no-purge", I couldn't even find any 'man
get_iplayer' help. Is it not needed any more, and if not, why not? I've
tried looking through the Release Notes, but I can't find a mention of
it. It may be that I need to look further back, of course.

Now using the latest version, 3.34.

From the changelog for 3.32:

The --no-purge and --trim-history options may no longer be entered on the command line. Any associated entries remaining in settings, presets, or PVR searches are already ignored and will now generate a non-fatal warning in verbose mode.


I guess that means it will now always purge (although I haven't noticed
it doing so)...

Thanks. It used to not be a problem, and so I was probably using a
version earlier than 3.32 until my last update, I wasn't looking back
that far in the changelogs. But that is indeed cryptic, in not
explaining what does, or does not, now happen, and why. The next time I
download something, I might try an experiment to test what happens on an
existing recording.
At the moment, it's a bit murky.
I will report any findings.
