I too am unclear on how the `better', `best', etc., map to modes. You might want to experiment with the --fps50 option as that seems to influence the definition of `best' and friends. > This behaviour does not accord with the documentation at > https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/modes Yes, I thought that was out of date when skimming it a couple of weeks ago. I think get_iplayer changed partly because 25 fps is the `best' most folks want for throwaway TV fodder. -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
