I’ve updated Python-iView to support the latest iView version, 316. To get the latest update, change to your python-iview directory, and type:
$ bzr pull
In this update:
- New programme API supported, which permits faster loading times.
- The entire programme is no longer loaded. Instead, the individual series are loaded when you select them in the GTK+ interface, making for faster startup times.
- SWF verification keys updated.
- RC4–encrypted programmes supported (was required in version 306, though subsequently disabled by the ABC again and made unnecessary).
Here is a roadmap for what I would like to achieve in the next couple of releases:
- GIO–based saving (e.g. so you can save into an SFTP share).
- Ability to run from read-only system directory (the previous point is a prerequisite for this), and packaged into .deb or .rpm format for easy installation.
- Category browsing, thumbnail display, and metadata such as ratings, duration, size, etc.
