>Description:
Due to changes on metacafe web site, the application is not working as expected anymore.
The author released a new version of metacafe_dl on 2007-09-13 and the port should be updated accordingly.

>How-To-Repeat:
Find a video that you like on metacafe web site (assuming flash player > 7.* working :) ) and try to grab it with metacafe-dl

$ metacafe-dl http://www.metacafe.com/watch/584842/install_freebsd_6_2_stable/
Retrieving disclaimer... done.
Retrieving video webpage... done.
Extracting fplayer URL parameters... done.
Retrieving fplayer XML data... failed.
Error: unable to download fplayer XML data.
Try again several times. It may be a temporary problem.
Other typical problems:

* URL is wrong.
* Content is not a flash video.
* Video no longer exists.
* The connection was cut suddenly for some reason.
* metacafe changed their system, and the program no longer works.

Try to confirm you are able to view the video using a web browser.
When using a proxy, make sure http_proxy has http://host:port format.
Try again several times and contact me if the problem persists.

>Fix:
update the port
