It's a direct copy of the ```C:\\Program Files\\get_iplayer\\get_iplayer_web_pvr.cmd``` file except it adds a loop to the end to prevent the tab killing the pvr process. I made this purely for fun and to save having a random floating console window. I did post an issue [#417](https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/issues/417) about the web pvr not working inside a Windows Terminal, if they reopen the ticket I'll update the devs about my quick fix and see if they want to roll it into future versions.\n\n## Usage:\nSimply copy the ```get_iplayer_web_pvr.bat``` file to your get_iplayer directory, typically ```C:\\Program Files\\get_iplayer\\``` then create a new profile in Windows Terminal using the following settings (adjust if you have installed elsewhere):  \n- Command Line: ```%SystemRoot%\\System32\\cmd.exe /c \"C:\\Program Files\\get_iplayer\\get_iplayer_web_pvr.bat\"```\n- Start In: ```%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%```\n- Icon: ```%SystemDrive%\\Program Files\\get_iplayer\\get_iplayer_pvr.ico```\n- Set a theme in the appearance section, I use the hideous Solarized Light theme to help ensure I don't close it by mistake!\nDone!  \n\n## File contents:\nThe only changes made to the stock file are the last 3 lines, this prevents Windows Terminal killing the tab processes, WT behaves differently to a regular command prompt, when it reaches the end of the stock batch file it kills the PVR service off.\n```  \n@echo off\nsetlocal\nset GIP_INST=%~dp0\nif #%GIP_INST:~-1%# == #\\# set GIP_INST=%GIP_INST:~0,-1%\nstart \"PVR Manager Service\" /min /b cmd /k \"%GIP_INST%\\get_iplayer_cgi.cmd\"\nping 127.0.0.1 -n 5 -w 1000 \u003e NUL\nstart http://localhost:1935\n:noexitloop\npause\u003enul\nGOTO noexitloop\n```  \n\n## Screenshot\n![I use the hideous Solarized Light theme to help ensure I don't close it by mistake!](https://github.com/NebularNerd/get_iplayer_wt/blob/11aab2a5b8327037e73ce3ce17cfbd7237b9c5b1/get_iplayer_web_pvr_wt.png)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnebularnerd%2Fget_iplayer_wt","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fnebularnerd%2Fget_iplayer_wt","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnebularnerd%2Fget_iplayer_wt/lists"}
