Bug#636222: Should recommend/suggest get-iplayer

[Ryan Kavanagh]

Package: get-flash-videos
Version: 1.24-2
Severity: normal

Hi,
get-flash-videos should either recommend or suggest get-iplayer,
depending on how critical you think it is to get-flash-video's
usability. At the very least, the error message should be patched to
recommend users install the get-iplayer package. Current error message:

Downloading http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b012whs6
Using method 'bbc' for http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b012whs6
get_flash_videos does not support iplayer, but get_iplayer does..
Attempting to run 'get_iplayer -g --pid b012whs6'
Please download get_iplayer from http://linuxcentre.net/getiplayer/
and install in your PATH

Best wishes,
Ryan
