Error messages

Hi.

For the past few weeks, ffmpeg has been giving this error at the start of every download -
"[h264 @ 0000000001cc2720] non-existing SPS 0 referenced in buffering period
Last message repeated 1 times
[h264 @ 0000000002ff31a0] non-existing SPS 0 referenced in buffering period".

It doesn't seem to be causing any problems, I just thought that you might like to know. I'm guessing that the BBC have made a minor change on their site.

Thanks again for a great add-in

Cheers

You are right, those messages do appear. Actually, the -v 16 parameter is already hiding a lot of warnings. These messages are due to the fact that the video stream is slightly damaged and ffmpeg is very detailed about any quirks it may find. You can ignore them.
