For Debian, the TV Index Cache file is $HOME/.get_iplayer/tv.cache
In Windows, it is %USERPROFILE%\.get_iplayer\tv.cache
To check that the cache is being updated, you can count the lines in the file.
In Linux:
wc -l $HOME/.get_iplayer/tv.cache
In Windows:
type %USERPROFILE%\.get_iplayer\tv.cache | find /c /v ""
To refresh the cache:
get_iplayer --refresh
To refresh the cache of a specific channel:
get_iplayer --refresh --refresh-include="BBC Four"
To produce verbose output while refreshing TV index cache:
get_iplayer --verbose --refresh --refresh-include="BBC Four"
To produce verbose output while searching for a TV show:
get_iplayer --verbose eastenders
Note: There is a bug in one of the Perl modules on Mac OS X 10.9. It's possible to make get_iplayer work on 10.9 by upgrading that module (see [manual installation info in macOS install doc in wiki])
