How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

Whatever the problem with ripper on some machines where the index would not download (hence the fix to run if off a local database instead), the latest version (2.15) seems to have somehow fixed the problem. At least on my rig. With 2.15 it happily d/ls the index from the internet, something it's not been able to do in any previous version.
There have recently been some .net patches for the version ripper uses. Maybe there were issues with the original .net release that meant ripper couldn't get the index on some rigs, given the hardware and /ot software environment, and the recent patches fixed it? From the comments, quite a few have had the same issue. I chalked it up to a tv-card, but they are not that common these days, so I doubt it's that. .net quirks sound more likely.

It would be lovely for the ripper to 'Remember last window size and position'.

I resize and move the window on my 24" screen every time I open the ripper. :D

Sorry, I don't have a Facebook ID.
For me the font size can be changed under 'Settings', but it seems only after you have LOADED a database
Just clicking "Cancel' and then trying to go to 'Settings' doesn't seem to work!!???
Cheers. :)

Hi.
Loading a database from a file always starts the search from the Desktop.
I keep my database files in the same folder as my defined 'Output folder': D:\Rippers\iViewRipper. Which is also where I keep your excellent software. ;)
It would be nice if the 'Database folder' could be defined along with the 'Output folder'.

Thanks.

Is there a downloader for the 10 network? I have just seen a bit of an Attenborough show on 1, and would like to get it and others in the series to view.

For Firefox, the Video Download Helper extension does the job on Tenplay (may also be available on chrome).

I am having a problem today where the database isn't loading past 238 to 242kb, and repeated retries don't work. A day ago, all was well. My internet connection is adequately fast, and SBSRipper loads its stuff for last 2 days (and longer).

Has anyone experienced this recently?

Same here...

I've posted a comment on the Facebook location, but maybe I should email M3M1E directly.
But, as has happened before over past years (yes!), the problem may be remedied by ABC in time. Having M3M1E waste time looking for a fix in his code may be futile.

New version 2.17, 13 November 2015, is available. See link at Facebook.

Thanks M3M1E
