New set of attachments - 
remove the --verbose option from rtmpdump, add print to log command line.

I had this issue, applied the changes (just changed the swf version), all works 
fine. Is it worth abstracting the swf version into a variable? Then even more 
trivial to change, or even make it a setting.

This repo should auto update, but it doesn't.  Why does 5oD auto update buy 4oD 
does not.  Anyone know why??

These updates I supplied, until such time as there was a proper update,
there was an update for channel 5, but seems the channel 4 issue hasn't
been looked at by the author and I can't update myself.

You should use default.py if already installed, to replace the existing
default.py in the plugin.video.4od directory.

If not installed then download the zip and use the addon zip install.

I got it working by following the tips above.  worked for 3 days.  Now stopped 
working again, script errors all over.  Anyone know what the problem is?

A reply has been sent to the forum - the 4od site has changed, a lot
more content now requires a registration/sign-on.

I take it that it is not working for you either then?  Do you know if there 
will ever be an update?

I don't use XBMC to download, I use get_flash_videos instead on OpenBSD,
they both use rtmpdump. get_flash_videos is now working again.
See issue 3 just raised for the plugin, just fixed for get_flash_videos
and push upstream,

New version of swf seems to be 11.25.2

Just view the previously provided patch to see what lines need changing and use 
11.25.2 instead of 11.21.2.

My whole default.py file attached incorporating this change and my change for 
issue <a 
href="http://code.google.com/p/nibor-xbmc-repo/issues/detail?id=10>10</a>.

Unfortunately I do get a core dump at the same point in playback now 
(RTMPE_Free I believe, double free also mentioned). There is a warning printed 
earlier in the logs that RTMPE protocol is not supported but I didn't think 
that mattered. Is this worthy of a new bug listing?

Oh how I wish there was an edit for earlier comments...

Just thought I'd add the actual details from the website:

<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;" id="flashContainer" class="cb flashEnabled">
                        <object data="/static/programmes/asset/flash/swf/4odplayer-11.25.2.swf" id="catchUpPlayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="397"><param value="top" name="align"><param value="noscale" name="scale"><param value="lt" name="salign"><param value="true" name="allowFullScreen"><param value="#000000" name="bgcolor"><param value="always" name="allowScriptAccess"><param value="opaque" name="wmode"><param value="preSelectAsset=3358628&overRideIA=false&tracking_n=true&tracking_c=false&tracking_b=true&afterLogin=C4.My4oD.Controller.onFlashLogin" name="flashvars"></object>
                    </div>

I'm not sure if that's of any help.

You could try this version

https://github.com/MossyTC/xbmc-4od/zipball/master

From XBMC forums.

Determines swf file from html, and deals with redirection.

Worked great thanks. I was going to the suggest such a feature as a nice 
enhancement. Fortunately you got there before I got the inclination to try 
coding it myself.
