I've noticed that the latest get_flash_videos is working with fewer and fewer channel 4 videos as they change from pure rtmp streams to some new method.  e.g. Jimmy's Forest episode 1 will download with get_flash_videos, but episodes 2 and 3 use the new method which is immune to download.

That, along with their "new improved" 4od app for the iphone/ipad (which stops you streaming to the HDMI and Apple TV which the old one didn't) means that channel 4 is getting harder and harder to download new content for again.
