Hello friend, I do hope your oral health has been restored and no more
pain-relievers are needed...
Thanks Vangelis, unfortunately not. After three months of problems I'm
still suffering on and off - the only thing that worked was Ibuprofen
but that caused me internal bleeding, so I had to stop that option. The
referral to the dental hospital finally took place today. I saw a
consultant today who dismissed the previous theory of my pain being
caused by a gum infection. He's passing me over to one of his colleagues
who is a pain specialist in the next few days, so hopefully, there will
be some light at the end of the tunnel soon. (Moral, don't get diabetes
and coronary heart disease - diabetes screws your immune system and the
horrendous cocktail of medication I take daily contributes to my dental
problems.)
Anyway, back on-topic ...
I can't be verbose right now, but:
1. The error messages people get currently when fetching hlshd tvmode
of some PIDs with 2.95 appears to be a beeb's glitch and I discussed
some alternatives in another thread post.
2. In GiP 2.94, AppleHLS streams were dumped via FFmpeg; when
something went awry, most of the messages (errors/warnings) were
generated by ffmpeg itself.
In GiP 2.95, as explained many times, the recording is realised by
default via a native ("built-in" the coder calls it) perl HLS
downloader. Various HLS messages are now printed from that built-in
downloader, so yes, "v2.95 IS reporting errors differently to previous
versions."
Ah that explains things perfectly, as always. Thank you. It's a pity
that some things don't stay the same, but this is life.... For some
time, I've been using HLS and recently been getting download speeds of
between 30 and 100Mb/s but I switched back temporarily to Flash (until
the HLS problems got sorted). Unfortunately this seems to be a quarter
of the speed of HLS and I'm not prepared to live with such a speed
degradation in the normal course of events! :-(
So tonight I decided to switch back to HLS but to log all the
transactions to a text file - I can then go through this and for any
downloads reporting an error, I'll repeat those using Flash on a
one-by-one basis.
(For more, have a look at the code inside:

LOL, I think I'll pass on that. "Captain, I'm not a programmer, I'm an
engineer", LOL.
Have a fine summer day, Vangelis.
Thanks :-) Have a superb weekend, dear friend.
Regards
Alan
