Mode sizes - but somewhat OT

[Charles Johnson]

I'm looking at the modesizes for I Know Who You Are and note the lowest
is c. 400MiB. I was wondering what sort of mode size we're talking about
when watching that as default on an Android phone's iPlayer? I mean -
approximately. No doubt the small device size should lower it?

get_iplayer's --info for PID b09ffrlp shows dvflow1 and dvflow2
approximated as 248MiB. I downloaded b09ffrlp using

./get_iplayer --get --tvmode dvflow 3915

and got 318,790,871 bytes for 01:19:18.04 of video and audio. That's
304.02 MiB. `ffmpeg -i *b09ffrlp*.mp4' says

Stream #0:1(und): Video: h264 (Main) (avc1 / 0x31637661),
yuvj420p(pc, bt709), 512x288 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 437 kb/s, 25 fps,
25 tbr, 25k tbn, 50 tbc (default)

of which 512x288 is probably of most interest to you.
