Channel4 wrong series and episode

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Channel4 changed the way they display the on demand web page.  Now all series
are present and the og:image method of determining the series and episode now
always picks up the latest even if you're downloading an earlier version.

Fix this by taking the series and episode from the dc:relation tags in the
feed instead

Patch to fix this attached

Thanks, I haven't downloaded recently so haven't noticed any changes. I will 
have a look at your patch and update once I tried it out. I will increment the 
version at the same time.

I am getting problems with channel 4 programmes, often with wrong episodes or 
not downloading at all.
I wanted to d/l episode 3 of The Returned. I used the URL 
http://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-returned/4od#3537962 but get an error:

c:\ActivePerl>perl c:\gfv\get_flash_videos http://www.channel4.com/programm

So I tried some other Channel 4 shows to see if it was specific to that 
programme/episode, or a general problem.

I tried The Good Wife (series 4, episode 19) 
http://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-good-wife/4od#3525551

But it downloaded Series 4, episode 22 instead:

Done. Saved 282948454 bytes to The_Good_Wife_-_The_Wheels_of_Justice_-_S04E2

(this output was generated when I tried to re-download as I forgot to copy the 
output..)

Is there a general problem with Channel 4 downloading at present?
Thanks
