Since the release of get_iplayer 2.94, the BBC has introduced new video streams through their Video Factory initiative. The HLS versions of those streams are currently lumped together with the older mobile HLS streams under the "hls" mode prefix. However, the new streams use different video sizes and/or bit rates and thus will be segregated under a new "hvf" mode prefix. The VF streams ostensibly will become the default at some point in the future. There are currently no HD VF streams available. The VF streams offer multiple audio bit rates for each video resolution. Only the variant with highest bit rate for given resolution will be supported. VF streams also require the changes in #175.
