There are two interfaces: a plugin +for Video Disk Recorder (VDR), and a command line client. The two +interfaces are described in README.vdrplugin and README.webvi. + +The common functionality of the VDR plugin and the command line client +is implemented in a Python library (src/libwebvi/webvi). C bindings +for the library are also provided (see src/libwebvi/libwebvi.h). + +Supported video sites: + +* Google Video [1] +* Metacafe +* MTV3 Katsomo +* ruutu.fi [2] +* Subtv +* SVT Play +* Vimeo +* YLE Areena [2] +* YouTube + +[1] Only videos hosted by Google, Youtube, Vimeo and SVT + +[2] Requires rtmpdump-yle + (http://users.tkk.fi/~aajanki/rtmpdump-yle/index.html). Streaming + does not work. + +Known problems: + +SVT Play: not all videos are working +MTV3 Katsomo and Subtv: often the connection is lost before the + video is fully downloaded. + +Because of the modular design it is possible to add support for new +sites quite easily.
