The command strings I use with my simple programmable fetcher are: sprintf(commandstring,"%s --type=tv --mode=best --no-tag --pid %s --attempts=2 --output %s\n",giputliname,pid,videooutdirname); and sprintf(commandstring,"%s --tvmode=hlsbest --no-tag --pid %s --force --attempts=2 --output %s\n",giputliname,pid,videooutdirname); for these two methods. (The first %s gives the location of the version of gip I've set for it to use. The second obviously adds the pid from the file the program works though to fetch a list of items.) (FWIW there are some other modes which I use for radio and for thing like the old exclusion of akamai.) A short time ago I had another try. This time the 'old' (i.e. non-HLS method) worked OK and I seem to have to full programme at 1280x720. When reprocessing at the end of the fetch it did throw up four time values but didn't specify any errors. A quick look at the specified times didn't show any problems. So I assume that there is a fair chance that a forced retry this morning may have worked OK, but I can't be sure. A failure (e.g. I tried the HLS and it ended after about 30 sec) can mean it gives *no* output file, but saves into the record details as if it worked, so any futher attempt has to be forced, or I delete the file that lists what has been 'downloaded'.
