I have installed 2.96 and read up the notes. I have a couple of dumb questions on the options with the changed GiP having been quite happy to date with the following prefs:-

        rtmpdump = /usr/bin/rtmpdump
        thumbsize = 1
        output = /home/alastair/GiP_Recordings
        tvmode = flashhd,flashvhigh,flashhigh,flashstd,flashnormal

I have now deleted all of these as I gather from the notes that is what I should do but...

What happens to the thumbsize = 1. Can I assume I do not need this any longer?

Regarding tvmode all I want is what will work and not double my download file size from the hd resolution I have enjoyed (when available) to date. What option should use?

Finally I record a good deal of music from the third programme which came at higher resolution without any action on my part. I probably can no longer hear the difference but I would like to keep this quality for opera etc. OTOH for voice/spoken word I am happy with a lower resolution and do not want to increase download and file sizes for sounds other than third programme. Almost without exception these recordings are done using pvr in a cron job and from the notes I cannot see now how to do this. Seems all radio will come at higher resolution. Please could somebody advise/help.

Budge.
