You may have seen the workaround I presented to Python-iView users who wanted MP4 support, and wanted it now.
Also, (this has probably got to be the biggest duh moment for me in a year) I discovered Python-iView actually didn’t support those of you who use Akamai-based servers with iView. This includes all users who don’t have iView unmetered, as well as iiNet users. Sorry about that!
Well, now, if you type bzr pull, both MP4 and Akamai support work beautifully.
One thing to keep in mind is that the iview-cli programme has been changed to print out .flv and .mp4 extensions, which you mustn’t strip off when you paste it on to iview-cli --download. This is so it knows which version to ask for. No, they are not interchangeable — keep it what it prints out. (iview-gtk users don’t have to worry about any of this.)
Now all I need is Save dialog support for iview-gtk, and to package it up in .deb and .rpm formats, and it’ll take over the world! Oh, category support would be nice too.
Rather than a save as box, can I suggest a “DownloadLocation” config setting, so you don’t have to select it each time.
FYI I’ve been messing about a bit with iview-gtk and added sorting to the tree view, closing the download window on download complete and hard coding download directory. It’s all pretty rough at the moment though.
