fix for per-user config file, minor improvement to sshtunnel proxy type

global config file was working, but per-user config files in ~/.movgrab.conf weren't.

movgrab can now handle sshtunnel proxy urls that don't include a username. These are assumed to require now authentication. This is useful if you configure your ssh peers in a .ssh/config file.

'-o none' option added. Bugfixes.

This release is focused on improving 'player' support (using the -P command-line switch). Players now read from stdin, rather than from a file. The option '-o none' is added to allow use of player mode without leaving files of downloaded content lying around on disk. Also some bugfixes, including fix of a segfault when a connection fails.

Preferences file, Environment variables

This release adds support for environment variables to set proxy or media format preferences. Also a preference file that allows setting these along with configuring player programs for different media types. The '-P auto' option is added to allow automatically selecting a player from those configured in the preferences file.

m3u8 multipart downloads fixed

.m3u8 urls had a problem concerning file locking that would cause them to fail with the message "Already downloading this URL". This has been fixed now.

metacafe.com fixed, screencast.com added, bugfixes

metacafe.com downloads work again. screencast.com added to list of sites. General code tidyups and bugfixes.

Back from the dead

Removed long-dead video sites. Updated code to get most sites working again. Improved handling of proxy servers. Added new sites: www.imdb.com, www.ign.com, www.ebaumsworld.com, www.gamestar.de, openclassroom.stanford.edu. Added -np option to specify a 'now playing' file for use with ICY/icecast internet radio stations. Added -U option to specify user-agent string.

Resurrection release

Bringing this one back from the dead. Socks proxy support added (so should now work with ssh vpns and tor). Now compiles on freebsd and openbsd. A bunch of sites work again, some are still broken, some have been removed, some report as broken in the 'test-sites' check, but actually will work when you try downloading from them
