GBE Playdate: Far Cry 2 (02/23/2016) is broken and here's why.

@vinny@edgework

Hey, just wanted to let you know what I found wrong with the video. Some of the different encodes ended up with a different date in the URL.

http://v.giantbomb.com/2016/02/24/..._600.mp4
http://v.giantbomb.com/2016/02/24/..._1800.mp4
http://v.giantbomb.com/2016/02/25/..._3200.mp4
http://v.giantbomb.com/2016/02/25/..._4000.mp4

Probably because of that the streaming player can't properly access videos using http://hdv.giantbomb.com/z/2016/02/25/... as a base URL.

The same thing happened to Quick Look: Californium with 02/23 and 02/24.

Seems like the encoder just happened to hit the date change during these encodes in whatever timezone it uses (probably GMT).

@szlifier Fixed. Thanks for the head's up.

This happened again on Quick Look: EA Sports UFC 2.

@waterlovinguy:

I jumped into this thread hoping for the opportunity to defend Far Cry 2, the game. Color me disappointed.

And again for Quick Look: Day of the Tentacle Remastered

It's still broken. Selecting Streaming - Auto results in this:

GET http://hdv.giantbomb.com/z/2016/03/10/vf_ufc2_ql_03092016_2kmnfh5s_,600,1000,1800,2500,3200,4000,.mp4.csmil/manifest.f4m... 404 (Not Found)

The cause seems to be exactly the same. Only the _4000.mp4 is available under .../2016/03/10/. The rest is at .../2016/03/09/.
