Yeah fair enough about the legality stuff. You’re not exactly anonymous here (lol full name everywhere). Maybe you and some of the guys at whirlpool should make a channel ten downloader. I mean if whirlpool allows an abc iview one then a channel ten one would be fine.

Anyhow as an excuse to practice my shell/perl scripting I’ve worked out how you could write your own interface. (ie. get the flv url when it is made available through their web site.) (Much like get_iplayer (http://linuxcentre.net/iplayer) and the “ABC iView Downloader by sge, converted to OSX by lightguard, updated by vipher” over at http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1212283)

But under your logic you don’t want me to publish that, and despite all the posts I tag as “law”. I can’t definitively know that some annoyed Channel Ten exec won’t hunt me down and send me threatening legal letters (Even though there are no digital locks here to break, so I can’t be breaking the AUS version of the DMCA, and I still don’t know if wordpress.com would give my IP address to the authorities who in turn would get my ISP to release my details allowing them to pursue me instead of the host. I need to do my research.).

Was going to do this for australian idol but obviously ten found your post and now has started putting codes in the filenames.

oh well. If you do find a way around it let me know ey?
