I'm in waaaay over my head here. Most of what I've read in this thread and on the AdobeHDS github wiki might as well be messages from aliens, since I'm comprehending all of this at about the same level.
I started a thread here, and was directed to AdobeHDS as a possible solution. But like I said, this stuff isn't making any sense to me. So let me talk this out. These are the steps I'll need to perform, correct me if I'm wrong (I'll be wrong... especially since I don't even know where the php code goes).
1. copy the code at github into a file called AdobeHDS.php (??)
2. install php 5
3. install the Firefox addon
4. run php from command prompt
5. navigate to video page
6. copy the pop-up url and paste it into the command prompt window
7. download begins
8. ???
9. PROFIT
Is this right? It can't be. There has to be something missing (probably lots of somethings) since there was more stuff on the wiki page that I don't understand, along with the fact that I don't know where the php code goes. Do I put it in the php folder?? Do I paste it into the command prompt? Does php run on any Windows OS without any additional requirements? WTF?? I'm so confused.
Sorry for being a total moron. Any clarification would be appreciated.
