Description

It downloads the episodes just fine from a link grabbing standpoint and dumping to hard drive.

Yet, I keep having some sort of random audio drift on various episodes. In that episode, right around 00:05:30, the audio randomly looses sync and starts to repeat itself once or twice then maybe 30 seconds later it’s back to normal.

I have tried upgrading my ffmpeg and using different audio players including VLC, Media Player Classic, and Kodi.

Not all episodes seem to do this but a majority do but I’d say it started only in October and affected more and more over time.

[ryandesign]

There is no specific URL guaranteed to exhibit the problem. It occurs randomly with seemingly any CBS download URL.

[benfugate]

If anyone can provide example example URL with the problem, I think I have a fix for this

I have had it on almost anything I haven’t already downloaded at least once. Big Brother had many issues (per episode) throughout season 6 for me. One example I can see was redownloaded in yesterday’s log was Picard, S02E02.
