Channel 4 downloading OT

[Dave Widgery]

Hi
I I know that this is slightly OT but I have noticed that the new
Android "All 4" now supports downloading programs, I was just
wondering if this opens an opportunity for using a modified version of
get_iplayer to download Channel 4 programs.

Channel 4 programs are up to their necks in DRM protection
unfortunately. The iOS application has supported protected downloads
for some time; I should imagine they're using Google's Widevine DRM on
Android.

Hi Thanks for the info, I was unaware of the download feature as the
App has only just started supporting my Android phone and I have been
using the PC version until now that doesn't appear to support
downloading,

One question, again OT but if you happen know the Android app, is
there anywhere to specify the download directory, it is refusing to
download programs because I do not have enough space as it is trying
to download to the main memory, but I do have lots of space on my SD
card if I could only find a way of directing it there. I have sent a
request to C4 support but still waiting for a reply.

FWIW I just opened a ticket with Youtube-dl to support Channel 4:
