By this do you mean that there's a way to grab the .flv on the N900, or were you referring to downloading it on a desktop first and then transferring it over?

I got better results with vlc, but haven't done any real testing.

I have automated the process a bit by creating a simple one-liner script with the following content:

Code:
lynx -source "$1" | grep -o 'http.*flv' | xargs rvlc
I called this script "tvf" and put it in my usual scripts folder.

Now, I can go to the tvforge website and copy the url for the episode and fire up the terminal and paste it as an argument for the script, e.g.

Code:
tvf http://tvgorge.com/shows/desperate-housewives/season-6/you-gotta-get-a-gimmick/
NB: Of course this only works if you have vlc, xargs, and lynx installed.

EDIT: Regarding, lynx, xargs, and vlc, see

http://maemo.org/packages/view/lynx/
http://maemo.org/packages/view/findutils-gnu/
http://www.remlab.net/files/vlc/fremantle/

But keep in mind that this is unofficial (prerelease) software -- especially vlc -- and install on your own risk.

That's a cool script. I am not a scripter, but would it be possible to rename the file using the directory structure so that the file becomes (in your example)

desperate-housewives_season-6_you-gotta-get-a-gimmick.flv

automagically? :-D

Thx. Right now the file names are numeric and not useful for sorting. Thanks.

The one-liner I posted above wasn't meant for saving the episodes. It starts streaming them right away. No need to download them first.

They are both in extras-devel, so the usual warnings apply (I haven't encountered any problems with these though). For further information, see:

http://maemo.org/packages/view/lynx/

http://maemo.org/packages/view/findutils-gnu/

Best regards

For some reason i couldn't get Lynx installed. It complained something about dependencies. I'll figure it out.

Presumably your script should work mplayer too right?
