GetFLV 8.8.21 is a lot better. This version now always gives two download links, one of which is h.264 (hi res). However, there are still a few issues:
1. The playlist sent by hulu usually will have 4-6 entries, usually with text such as this:
24fps_H264_400K
24fps_H264_650K
24fps_H264_Medium
24fps_H264_1Mbps
Getflv 8.8.21 usally grabs the link to "24fps_H264_Medium", which is fine - but sometimes it only grabs the link to "24fps_H264_400K" even though "24fps_H264_Medium" is available for that title. Getflv should try to grab all the links in the playlist, although I realize that this may confuse some users.
2. Getflv 8.8.21 is successfully finishing the h.264 downloads (the full file has been 100% downloaded), however the download list in Getflv will show something like 73% and a red X - which the user might interpret to mean that the transfer interrupted when it really has finished. Also, because of this, Getflv won't move the file to finished downloads - but it really has finished.
3. The newest h.264 codec used on hulu, cbs, and others doesn't play smoothly and in sync in nearly all flv players (including Getflv's own player). But the file is 100% perfect, it can be played back perfectly with the right codec - and also, mplayer encoder will transcode it perfectly to another format. This may confuse users also, but the most important thing is that Getflv downloads the file exactly as sent by the server.
