Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

It looks like the newer episodes are hosted in a somewhat different way than the older ones and so a modification is needed. Also, if ipad, android and Flash versions all exist, can the user choose which of them to use?

Why was this issue closed without an explanation or duplicate id? Just curious.
