Update: Progress and puzzles

I have no idea if this helps but I've just installed gip 2.96 and the 
latest FFMPEG on Linux Mint 17.3 (from the PPA's)

Trying both the Dads Army Episode and the Gergieve prom with in the 
latter case get-iplayer --get 210 tvmode=hlssstd1 I get it in hfdhd1 
which works fine here in VLC as as mp4 file. Trying hlshd1 fails.  FWIW 
I am quite happy with hfdhd1, I don't know why hls is or might be 
better, is it something to do with the sound bitrate ?
