Interesting how I once again get the low-resolution audiodescribed
version despite those ‘Downloaded’ showing the ‘/ll’ CDN. If I download
it a third time, adding ‘--exclude-supplier bidi’ then I upgrade again
to technical, still /ll.

Hi Ralph
I don't understand how using --exclude-supplier can cause a different
mode to be selected, especially if get_iplayer selects Limelight in both
cases.. I know the documentation says that is what you should do to
force the choice of CDN and it also says you cannot rely on the numeric
suffix on a sub-mode to select the same CDN each time, but I have found
it pretty consistent. Last time it was discussed it appeared that the
order of CDNs varied geographically. In my own case I have found for tv
1 is BIDI, 2 is Limelight and 3 is Akamai. For radio 1 is Limelight and
2 is Akamai. To force a particular CDN I use --tvmode=dvfhd3 or
--tvmode=dvfxsd3
Best wishes
Richard
