Bug in Windows PVR?

[Roger Tricker]

Hi All,

Since I installed Office 365 and started using Outlook for my e-mails, I
have noticed that messages from this list come in to my Inbox but, within
about 30 secs, they disappear and not into Trash or Junk.
Does anyone have an explanation, please?

I previously used Outlook Express. They also disappear from Windows Phone
and iPad.

Regards
Roger

Hi Chris - staying in a previous version (actually 3 versions before the
current one) is, of course, your prerogative, but you shouldn't, in all
honesty, seek support for such a version - only the latest one is supported
in the Support Forums and the wiki.

I haven't used 2.94 myself for quite a while (though I may need to revert to
it for some (international) video files currectly affected by a bug present
in 2.95+).

I had to unearth a previous revision of the wiki applicable to v.2.94, which
is

https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/modes/399702875c33522050918b
64e204c2c0995b5348

> Whilst the default for t.v. downloads is 'best'

No it is not; the default in 2.94 was "better"; this resolves in the
flashbetter=flashvhigh tvmode, 832 x 468p, 25fps, ca. 1500kbps.

If you wanted the HD variant, you had to ask for --tvmode=flashbest
(flashhd), which yielded

1280 x 720p, 25fps, ca. 2400kbps.

The default in 2.94 is flashvhigh, which is SD (468p).
Which type of files can't your machine handle smoothly, flashvhigh (the
default) or flashhd?

> So for t.v. progs I manually set the Recording Mode to 'good'

... and that would limit you to "flashhigh,flashstd"
as correctly stated by GiP 2.94:

Wrong again;

> bitrate=797.5kbits/s

indicates the flashhigh variant has been indeed downloaded.
Flashhigh and flashstd share the same resolution (640x360), but the former
has bitrate ~ 800kbps while the latter has only ~ 500kbps.

Not a bug whatsoever - see above!
