I haven't expressed myself well. My PVR is able to play .mkv, .mp4, .ts, .mpg, etc. I infer its preference for .ts files from the fact that when the current entry in a list of videos/movies is a .ts file, it is able to display length and other data.
I was wrong in my earlier post. I have transcoded a couple of different GIP download attempts using Handbrake, and the problem remains - I still cannot see any video (and I am really suprised by this). Before I discovered GIP's --raw setting a few months ago, my prefs contained no preferred modes, so presumably the --tvmode=best was implied. Then, of course, I was getting .mp4 files, all of which played perfectly. So it seems to me that something in the BBC's formatting has changed recently; but that change has apparently been picked up only by my PVR (which seems rather unlikely).
