Channel 4.com downloads degraded

opal1

Hello, since the last two updates I've noticed downloads form C4 are coming in a half the bitrate as normal.

Here is a comparison of the exact same file downloaded just a week apart. I've got my setting set to max quality and I've been able to verify using other resources that it's not a issue on the streaming service's end. I've also noted that video's have started to fail to download entirely form this provider frequently.

Without a title and StreamFab.log the Mediainfo is complete useless.

SF has no influence on the bitrate provided by the provider and
I get with SF the maximum bitrate that is offered by CH4 in Chrome.

Example: Codename: Annika.s01e01
