It's not just postulation; I'm speaking of a specific tool which already exists: http://code.google.com/p/get-flash-videos/ No one person maintains *all* the plugins for that, but the infrastructure is common. > But by your comment do I understand you'd rather not be saddled with > maintaining get_iplayer? On a technical level, I don't really approve of get_iplayer in its current form. I think it tries to do too much, and is too complex. I think that building it as a plugin for gfv makes a lot of sense. Any 'extra' features like the delayed downloads, the PVR-type stuff, should all be done as generic features in the gfv infrastructure. -- dwmw2 _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
