I recently upgraded from 3.02 to 3.05. I notice that with the new
version, when I download a TV programme GiP performs two separate
downloads. The first is shown in the terminal output as being
[audio+video], the second much smaller download as just being [audio].
Why the two separate downloads? If I play the first [audio+video]
download (this file has an hls.ts extension) while the separate [audio]
download has not yet completed, the audio is already there in the file,
so why the second download?
This is what I see on the console:
