Bug#736319: get-flash-videos: The search function is broken

[Dallas E. Legan]

Package: get-flash-videos
Version: 1.25~git2012.06.27-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

The Google video search function was broken.
A blind friend was dependent on it as one tool for searching and listening to videos.

This should include a script to apply 3 patches, to

/usr/bin/get_flash_videos
/usr/share/perl5/FlashVideos/Search.pm
and
/usr/share/perl5/FlashVideos/Site/Googlevideosearch.pm

These fix the search function, add 2 new paramters
(search results page and search results from the page to display),
and to document (in --help) the '--' end of input parameters.


Thanks if you can get this (or anything inspired by it or equivalent) into
the code base for this tool.
