Hello friend, I do hope your oral health has been restored 
and no more pain-relievers are needed...

I can't be verbose right now, but: 

1. The error messages people get currently 
when fetching hlshd tvmode of some PIDs 
with 2.95 appears to be a beeb's glitch 
and I discussed some alternatives in another thread post.
2. In GiP 2.94, AppleHLS streams were 
dumped via FFmpeg; when something went awry, 
most of the messages (errors/warnings) 
were generated by ffmpeg itself.
In GiP 2.95, as explained many times, 
the recording is realised by default via a native 
("built-in" the coder calls it) perl HLS downloader. 
Various HLS messages are now printed 
from that built-in downloader, so yes, 
"v2.95 IS reporting errors differently to previous versions." 
(For more, have a look at the code inside:

Have a fine summer day, 
Vangelis.
