General Information
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

clive is an open source POSIX command line tool to extract videos and to
circumvent the need to use Adobe Flash in order to view user-generated
content available on video-sharing websites.

Supported hosts:
    * Youtube
    * Google Video
    * Dailymotion
    * Guba
    * Metacafe
    * Sevenload
    * Myvideo


Bundled packages
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

* urlgrabber module [LGPL]
* feedparser module [MIT]
* newt library (snack module) [LGPL]

The source code to these can be found in the src/clive/$PACKAGE directory.
Documentation, tests and examples etc. were excluded to save some space.

All of these packages are installed to the clive namespace and will not
interfere with their equivalent packages that may co-exist in the same 
system. The python newt module is linked statically with the newt library 
to avoid the need to install the library to the system.


Installation
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please see the 'INSTALL' file.


Source code documentation
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

To create the doxygen generated source code documentation, type:
    % make dox

The documentation is created into the dox/ directory. Note that if
configure script failed to locate the doxygen program, the above
command will fail.
