Looks like Riot changed the specs for the standard block structure in the latest patch, as far as I can tell. The type byte now is 2 bytes, rather than one, based on some quick investigation. Or, perhaps, Riot added another byte with unknown information.
My guess is that they changed the type byte to be 2 bytes for flexibility, as all of the header blocks I've manually checked with type bytes have 0x00 as the second byte. Although that evidence could also point to a new unknown byte that they're not using yet.
Anyone else able to confirm this on their end? Any ideas on the new byte?
EDIT (1/3/15): After a little more investigation, I think there's also a good chance that Riot changed the spectator encryption method or other things about the spectator mode than just a new type byte. Not sure. I'll keep updating. Let me know if you'd like to join me and I'll give you my data.
