iViewNapperLite, W7x64, V2.2d worked OK here.

Therefore I have a copy if you need it.

Cheers.

I thought that might have just been an issue with my compile since "malloc_error" would seems to indicate some sort of memory error, but I just checked it in Windows and it borked as well. Seems to work ok for other shows though.

Yes, ABC iView is Region Blocked (aren't they all :rolleyes:). Currently, the only way downloading can be achieved outside of Australia (that we know of) is with an Australian proxy server or VPN that is based in Australia. :(

Is anyone viewing or downloading the Radio 1 Big Weekend 2009 videos?
I see 3 at present, and previously looked at the Maximo Park one. Question: have any others slipped past me?

I wonder if this iptables hack for hulu could be used on the iview site?

Hmmm, interesting. Nice find! :cool:

It might work with your iView FF addon, but I'm not too sure about batch or 'napper...

Batch uses 'wget' - I don't think we can get fine enough control on the header.

'Napper uses its own method - I'm not sure how fine you can get the control on the header for that either... mce would have to let us know I guess. :D

I'm pretty sure the only reliable way is to call your own authentication link and parse the data from that.

That is, to call on a server based in AUS that then fetches the auth XML and passes it directly back to the OS client.

I believe that once a valid token is obtained, then it is useful after that and no further checking is done. (Don't know for sure as I have never tested it)

I couldn't get the "Lifehacker" method to work for Hulu. Still sees me as outside USA.

Thinking about it some more, how could it work? Comms between my ISP and the Hulu server would still show the originating source IP address (me in Aus.). How else would I be able to communicate with Hulu anyway?

Doing a check with this webpage confirms it. Note that the source IP is still your current IP address even if you spoof the "X-Forward-For" address. So all a streaming server has to do is look at the source IP and make the decision - I'm pretty sure this is how ABC does it (and how it calculates the authentication token).

So no, I don't think the LifeHacker method would work with iView.

[edit: I just tried the "X-Forward-For" address using an American IP address on the iView website and iView doesn't think I'm in Australia. How bizarre! Maybe it (LifeHacker method) will work for ABC iView. ]

Just a note about occasional problems with iView, where there are illegal characters etc in the title names or file names (I'm not sure which).

It seems this is a problem with iViewNapper (crashes / gives error 'illegal characters in path'), but the batch downloader manages to get the episodes successfully.

The latest of these is
Quote:
The Link: Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestor
Another was
Quote:
The Fabulous Beekman Boys
where Episode 3 is downloaded by the batch donlaoder OK.

For that one, I can recall that the filenames were The Fabulous Beekman Boys Series 1 Episode 3 -.mp4 / .srt (a dash/hyphen somewhere between the 3 and the period).

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders


 
Often, I find that I cannot download the previous day's ABC National News (this happens with The Midday Report, and with both the older Sydney Evening News and the current ABC National News).

I'm convinced it's not put up & left online for long, before it's removed so that the next day's bulletin is loaded to the server.

But in case there is a genuine eror due to the JSON / XML that the iView lads are using, here's my current error dump from rtmpdump 2.2d via the batch downloader -
