I have noticed, on numerous pids, that if I download them using --tvmode=best
then the highest quality 25fps stream that is found is dvfxhigh (704x396 25fps). However, if I explicitly use --tvmode=hlshd, then I get the 1280x720 25fps stream. As an example, here's the console output from downloads of pid b09hlzbb (Expedition Volcano episode 1), first using --tvmode=best and then using --tvmode-hlshd. This behaviour does not accord with the documentation at https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/modes, which gives as an explicit example using --tvmode=best to get 1280x720 @25fps: ======================================================= D:\Users\Nick>get_iplayer --pid=b09hlzbb --verbose --tvmode=best get_iplayer 3.07.0, Copyright (C) 2008-2010 Phil Lewis This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details use --warranty.
