Fun with Launchcast and Perl!

[Briarius]

So I got frustrated with not being able to play videos under Linux. So I went to searching and found a Perl script on hacks.oreilley that would play the video if you fed it the number that's in the javascript link on the page. Since I'm a geek, I wrote a graphics front end that crawls whatever Launchcast page you give it, pulls out all the possible video id's and allows you to select the video number and then plays it.

It's been an interesting learning experience, if anyone wants the code let me know, I don't know if I should post it. :shrug:
