Can't download with GiP 3.00

[Chris Marriott]

Thanks, tellyadict. "hvfxstd" is slightly smaller than "hlshd" (870MB v. 
1GB), but I really wish I could download 340MB versions as I used to do. 
Unfortunately the availability of low-res versions of programmes seems to be 
getting more and more restricted. I found one mode which gave me a 340MB 
file (something starting in "dvf" I think it was), but it turned out to be 
audio only - no picture!

Is it just a coincidence that I'm only seeing these "missing segment" errors 
after I switched from 2.99 to 3.00? It's not something I ever recall seeing 
prior to the upgrade!

I do find these new modes VERY confusing. I always used to use "flashstd" 
and that worked fine until it all went away :(.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris
At the moment there are a lot of programmes appearing with missing segments 
on hls modes. Which modes it affects is random. At least with Masterchef you 
found that it failed right at the beginning on segment 1, but you could 
easily find that with some programmes you get half way through or more and 
then it fails with a missing segment. hvfxsd is pretty much the same as the 
one you were trying to download. You could use that as a fallback and 
use --modes=hlsvhigh,hvfxsd and if the hlsvhigh download fails at any point 
it will use hvfxsd. If these missing segments keep happening you might want 
to switch to hvfxsd completely and bypass hls.
