The text as originally presented here reads more like this is being done
as a cost saving exercise in terms of saving effort by reducing the
amount of software dev and support required on their platform of
programme delivery rather than something around control of who can
access what.
That's
Sounds to me more like there's an issue at the far end, someone tried to
correct it and didn't but renamed it.
If you play it on iplayer on a device or smart tv, does it also stop
halfway through?

If you have set gip to download the best quality then that's what it
will do.
The PID normally remains the same for all versions of the programme:
quality, signed, etc..

Recently (last couple of months) I've been receiving the warning message
"You have programmes over 30 days old that should be deleted."
As I've changed my download directory a couple of times over the last
year I suspected that I'd just forgotten one somewhere.
However I've gone looking and

thanks again.

If you liked Fortran, then you should have tried PASCAL. Sure it needed
some extensions but it was simple and it was very hard to write bad code.
A very good contractor wrote an assembler/OS interface to Pascal for us
on a PDP 11 (about 200 lines of code). That allowed us to create a

As a Grumpy old man one of my pet hates are these contact forms,
especially when you are trying to help or if its technical you've

Be careful. As others have said mp4 and mkv are container formats and
this is what is associated with the extension. It's more important in

The compression (or not) comes from the codec, but again some codecs can
do both compressed (lossy ) and

In my expereince some are and many aren't. I can't quite get a handle on
why. I too have seen 1.5 hour films go to 5.5GB where before I would

Fantastic. Great to see this still being maintained. Despite moving to a
