In fact 4oD is in Issue 379

4oD-dl still manages to get unprotected PS3 connect as per: 
https://github.com/robwatkins/4od-dl/issues/2#issuecomment-11012304

but one can also use PS3 link to get it with get_flash_videos (just try -/+ 5 
of the ID)

Tried that, and works. There dosen't seem to be a way of getting the correct ID 
simply from the ID given, and -/+ 5 can find other episodes of a series first. 
Use this while it's available.

Will keep open for a while even if it's a duplicate of issue 379, might be a 
way of trying the -/+ id, that can be added for the site. Needs to extract and 
match episode and series, till PS3 / mp4 version found. Or a way of faking a 
PS3 browser to get the ID returned.

I'm using the latest dev version from git, and it doesn't quite work for 
http://www.channel4.com/programmes/utopia/4od#3473279
It appears to find episode 4 okay from the URL, but then downloads episode 6 
instead from ps3.channel4.com

Closing the issue, version 0.04 of the plugin is in the repository, this does a 
search for a matching PS3 program and if not found tries +-5. There are some 
Channel4 site issues, PS3 Titles may not match the normal Titles, Episode and 
series number are incorrect, but that the information Channel 4 give, and not 
much can be done about those problems. Series and Episode in filenames might 
seem wrong.

Closing this.

Thanks for this, version 0.04 works like a charm!
