Channel 4 Must Play Video to Get Recording

[pabpetina108e]

I needed to save 2 shows from different seasons of a TV show on Channel 4, S01E05 and S02E04. After selecting the two shows to download, the first one began to play and as it played, it was showing the download in the download folder going at the same pace as what was playing. It didn't remux until the end of the show and then it started the second show and due to graphic nature in the video, I had to select the "Play" button in order to get it to start playing. It didn't start recording until I hit the play button, and again, recorded at the same pace as it played and when it finished 47 minutes later, it finally remuxed. Is this the process now to download from Channel 4 or is there a setting I need to change?

I copy this url here in SF 6189
and choose 2 epis in selection:



and dl starts immediately - without me having to see the player or wait
Download finished (720p) and back to tab i see muted player at 8 min.

I downloaded all episodes of Taskmaster Season 17 a few days ago from C4 in the UK using SF 6188 on my Mac

Thanks, perhaps it's because I'm going to the Channel 4 module in SF 6189 and not the website to copy the URL? I don't get the option to select SD or HD. I have settings set for 720p but I noticed on my screencap that it says 1080p. Wonder if that's the issue? I'll try copying the URL from the website and see if that makes a difference if I can select the SD/HD options.

I do it through the C4 module in SF. In the SF settings I have everything set to Best Quality or Full HD or 1080p
