E.g. if you --info (-i) a pid you'll often see 4 dvf* tvmodes;
these are spread over just two CDNs (Akamai, Limelight)
but with each of them having both HTTP/HTTPS stream URIs.
I think BBC will eventually swift only to HTTPS URLs,
thus the modes will again go down to two...
FWIW, GiP 2.99 gives priority to HTTPS over HTTP, so
1 & 2 suffixes are propably HTTPS and 3 & 4
their plain HTTP counterparts...
it is only hlshd that now has hlshd1 and hlshd2
(it used to be only hlshd1) and they are both Akamai.
See explanation above.
hlshd1 = Ak over HTTPS
hlshd2 = Ak over HTTP
Include "-i --streaminfo" in your command
to see full stream URIs...
