HLS modes being missed by GiP

Thanks Vangelis. I was wondering if it might have something to do with the introduction of HTTPS.

Currently running info on programmes using 2.99, I only ever seem to get 1 hlshd option and 1 hlsvhigh option.

Here's that part of the output from last friday's The One Show for example (b08lm6g7):

Also programmes which aren't available in HD such as local news and programmes on BBC Parliament for example seem to be missing the HLS modes completely in get_iplayer --info but visiting the vpid's mediaselector page shows that the HLS streams are there in both HTTP and HTTPS. Dinky said that these are now missing because of BBC changes and will be restored later but I can;t really work out what those changes are. I can still manually access them using the same URLs that --verbose --info shows but GiP can't seem to see them.

Do you know which BBC changes Dinky is referring to Vangelis?
