Thanks, tellyadict. "hvfxstd" is slightly smaller than "hlshd" (870MB v.
1GB), but I really wish I could download 340MB versions as I used to do.
Unfortunately the availability of low-res versions of programmes seems to be
getting more and more restricted. I found one mode which gave me a 340MB
file (something starting in "dvf" I think it was), but it turned out to be
audio only - no picture!
Is it just a coincidence that I'm only seeing these "missing segment" errors
after I switched from 2.99 to 3.00? It's not something I ever recall seeing
prior to the upgrade!
I do find these new modes VERY confusing. I always used to use "flashstd"
and that worked fine until it all went away :(.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris
At the moment there are a lot of programmes appearing with missing segments
on hls modes. Which modes it affects is random. At least with Masterchef you
found that it failed right at the beginning on segment 1, but you could
easily find that with some programmes you get half way through or more and
then it fails with a missing segment. hvfxsd is pretty much the same as the
one you were trying to download. You could use that as a fallback and
use --modes=hlsvhigh,hvfxsd and if the hlsvhigh download fails at any point
it will use hvfxsd. If these missing segments keep happening you might want
to switch to hvfxsd completely and bypass hls.
Downloading in "hlshd" mode does work, but I have a relatively slow
Internet
connection, and the HD version of the programme is too big and too slow to
download.
Can anyone help me out with this, please? Why is the "hlsvhigh" download
failing? Is there any other mode I can use to get a file smaller than the
HD
version? I should note that all "hlsvhigh" downloads worked absolutely
fine
with GiP 2.99.
