github is used that has a pull request that can be clicked on. Other git repositories need to do the pull manually, or can apply the patches. Lot easier using github can make comments/get corrections.

Channel 4 uses f4v already done a downloader for that, but never sorted out the decryption part so never added. Will look at your's - assume it's just a concatenation of segements rather than the full f4v. Currently I avoid the f4v/decryption by selecting the PS3 downloads for channel 4.
