You'll need to add the --fps50 flag to you prefs to get the 1280*720 50fps streams using the 'best' shortcut. You could also use the 'hlsbest' shortcut to get 1280*720 25fps streams if you don't want 50fps streams. I've explained this below... > > Full documentation of the modes is available here: > > https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/modes > > and here: > > https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/modesref > > According to that, you should be getting 1280x720 with --tvmode=best Actually, this isn't true according to the wiki. Though the modes wiki page table is technically correct (best kind of correct) by saying 'max resolution' is 1280*720 for the 25fps streams, you would need to use one particular mode to get that - namely 'hlshd'. 'hlshd' doesn't appear to be an included mode in any of the best/better/etc etc shortcuts (it has it's own 'hlsbest'), so you'd need to add this mode specifically or use the 'hlsbest' shortcut. The Wiki *is* wrong to say you can get that 'hlshd' provided 720*1280 @ 25fps stream just by specifying --tvmode=best so that does need adjusting. Yes this is confusing! NOTE - for below best === tvbest Now, ignoring that quirk for now, let's look at the 'tvbest' shortcut. The default 'tvbest' shortcut expands to: hvfxsd,dvfxsd,hlsvhigh,hvfxhigh,dvfxhigh,hlsstd,hlsxstd,hvflow,dvflow Note that I say 'default' because there are two versions of the tvbest shortcut now, the default and the one with --fps50 flag enabled. Taking the default 'tvbest' shortcuts highest available resolution of 'hvfxsd' you can see from the TV Modes table that the max resolution for that is 960*540 because that's the highest resolution 25fps stream (ignoring hlshd for now). That's what Chris is getting as of his post to the list. Now let's look at the the 'tvbest' shortcut with the --fps50 flag hvfhd,dvfhd,hvfsd,dvfsd,hvfxsd,dvfxsd,hlsvhigh,hvfxhigh,dvfxhigh,hlsstd,hlsxstd,hvflow,dvflow Now you can see that the highest quality modes afford you 1280*720 streams, and they'll be at 50fps. Finally, the 'hlsbest' shortcut expands to: hlshd,hlsvhigh,hlsstd,hlsxstd ...and that hlshd mode gives you 720*1280 @ 25fps So, right now the answer to Chris' question as detailed above is to use the --fps50 flag or use the 'hlsbest' shortcut. I've started a thread on the forum to see what dinkypumpkin says regarding hls modes not being included in the 'tvbest' shortcuts and the need to adjust the wiki depending on the answer: https://squarepenguin.co.uk/forums/thread-1168.html _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
