Description

vget is a Linux video downloader for the Veoh service.
It is written in C using the cURL, libXML2 and ncurses libraries.
vget requires no personal data, no authentication of any kind and no registration.
vget downloads the full-time, high-resolution videos, not the preview ones.

Content

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warning!

This is a long overdue update.
vget has stopped functioning since Veoh has made radical changes it's video delivering system.
Development has thus been halted.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Launchpad

vget has been added in Launchpad.
New releases will be added there as well along with a Bazaar mirror of Segfault's SVN repository of vget.

Launchpad also enables users of vget to ask questions and file bug reports as well as interact with the code via the Bazaar repository.

APT repository

Ubuntu/Debian users can now stay up-to-date with vget's new versions via my PPA on Launchpad.

$Id: CHANGELOG 1069 2008-09-15 12:43:29Z zapotek $

Version 0.3.6
	* Fixed segfaults caused by accidental overriding of getopt options
	  (Thanks to ebalaskas@ebalaskas.gr for taking the time to beta test)
	
Version 0.3.5
	* Updated code to remedy Veoh's new restrictions regarding Client GUID
	* Added user authentication for future use, not necessary yet
	* Added video redirection/streaming
	  ex.: vget --stdout http://www.veoh.com/videos/v6272417ktA6zTWy | kaffeine stdin://
	  
Version 0.3.4
	* Added resume mechanism to continue interrupted downloads
	  (using the "-r" flag)
	* The "-v" parameter is no longer mandatory, you can pass a
	  Veoh URL or permalink ID as a normal argument like so:
	  	vget http://www.veoh.com/videos/v6272417ktA6zTWy
	
Version 0.3.3
	* Fixed off by 2 bug in a malloc() call
	* Added the "-D" flag to create a debugging log

	* You can now pass the whole Veoh url instead of the permalink ID
	  and vget will extract it for you
	  
Version 0.3.1
	* Veoh started verifying hashes, so vget now provides a valid one
	  for each veoh permalink ID

Version 0.3
	* XML files are now saved under "/tmp" and are prefixed with the current
	  Veoh permalink ID to enable multiple instances of vget to run
	  at the same time from the same directory
	
Version 0.2
	* Added the "--save-dir" parameter
	* Added "escape()" to fix Veoh's XML files
	* Updated code to work with Veoh's hash files changes
