- which is likely to be because more people are trying to fetch items 
from
that server, and it and the paths to it are busier

Someone who understands what the ffmpeg command that gip builds is meant 
to contain needs to
explain why it contains a parameter that ffmpeg doesn't like.  We see 
from the --verbose output
that g_ip created that the ffmpeg command it issues is:

Then ffmpeg starts:

...tells us (all the output up to there) which options ffmpeg itself was 
built from,
then says:

> Invalid argument

- so what was the part starting "vf..."  and was it meant to be there?  
Is it wrong, or is
it correct but requires some other -option to be coded as well?
