I just need to compile the latest revision so that everyone can try it

Many thanks to Howard!
Yes, that's great news and mad props all round!

AdamW is making some progress (same list) with some extra features for rtmpdump, so this is positive for the iView/SBS/Plus!7 downloaders.
I always found it annoying to have to manually delete the zero-byte files if the connection barfs. Hopefully the extra error code from RTMPdump means this can be handled in a more user-friendly way.

By the way, you've all been so helpful, so please let me know if I can assist with testing updates, etc. At least I know how to trigger the port fail!

Cheers.
