Thanks MCE working for me (ie when ABC is working and/or the file is not experiencing technical difficulties), the bat file does the job, but I did miss the GUI.

Back in the old whirlpool thread there was a message about trimming the file by cutting of 12K off the end or something. What program did people do this with?

I too am finding that rtmpdump version 2.2b can continue a download that it self aborted, but the newer versions stuff up the timecoding. But if I cancel it, it has a good chance of not continuing.

frhed (a hex-editor) is an easy program to use for binary file editing.

Sounds like there might be an issue that has crept in between rtmpdump2.2b(r426) and 2.2d(r474). I think that's when we changed from using OpenSSL to PolarSSL*

*I'm not saying that's the problem, just a reference in time.

I would suggest adding the code from the Windows Batch File Downloader that gets the authentication token. echo this to your generated batch script at a point before rtmpdump gets called.

Code:

bin\wget %WGET_OPT% -O cache\auth.xml http://www2b.abc.net.au/iViewHandshaker/services/iviewhandshaker.asmx/isp

rem === reformatting auth.xml to remove namespace which hinders xml.exe to parse the elements we need
echo ^<iview^>>cache\auth_temp.xml
for /f "skip=2 tokens=*" %%a in ('type cache\auth.xml') do echo %%a>>cache\auth_temp.xml
move /y "cache\auth_temp.xml" "cache\auth.xml" >nul
rem === end reformat

if /i "%HOST%" == "Akamai" (
    for /f "usebackq tokens=*" %%a in (`bin\xml sel -T -t -m "/iview" -v token "cache\auth.xml"`) do set TOKEN=%%a
) else (
    for /f "usebackq" %%a in (`bin\xml sel -T -t -m "/iview" -v token "cache\auth.xml"`) do set TOKEN=%%a
)

del cache\auth.xml

This would then allow you to execute the batch file generated at a later time because then the authentication token is generated just before calling rtmpdump (just like in the Windows Batch-File Downloader) ;)

An excellent idea Anywho, i can save it in a seperate file then cat it instream. I will of course stick something in place to serialise or make unique the cache\auth.xml file so that it doesnt get confused. ;)

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders


 
Hi everyone,

Great work on the batch file.

I'm having a problem though - it keeps saying the files are not available, trying a different path.
on v15.69 I couldn't get the token, 15.70 does, but can't find any shows. I'm not fussed if I download metered or not. Am using TPG at home on Vista.
Vista or XP work PCs have have a an error with cache\auth.xml premature end of data in tag iview line 1, so don't even get to the programs list.

download.log details below:

The show "Four Corners 05/07/10" was not found on the server.

Another buglet which I posted about back at that other place which has slipped through the cracks...

I have found that I need to delete the contents of the cache directory before starting the batch file. The old show lists don't seem to get cleaned up properly between batch file runs.

Does this fix the problem for you, too?

spr 07-18-2010 07:09 PM

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders


 
Hi,

Thanks for quick response.

Deleted the cache folder contents - no change. Only point is RTMP connect gets 10060 no socket errors a couple of times, path is still not found.

using: RTMPDump v2.2d (r474)
On my work PCs JSON parser keeps crashing too.
I have tried ivewnapper and iviewnapperlite - they trigger the RTMP download, then just exit with no progress.

I have come recently to iview - specifically for the recent Four Corners episodes - so i've never actually had any of these downloaders working.
Perhaps i've missed something really obvious? :o

Also, one tiny point the description in the batch file still says 15.69 - in the file from http://www.4shared.com/file/750EOTqx...der_v1570.html

Is port 1935 unblocked on your modem? Sometimes a slow or flakey connection will do this too.

This usually happens at workplaces. Usually they block all ports except those for http or mail or else deny access to certain websites or secondary sites that those websites may use.

RTMPdump needs port 1935 to be accessible (unblocked) and needs access to Hostworks or Akamai servers as well (depends on your ISP).

If the JSON parser is dying, then it isn't getting fed anything usable... This smells like your workplace has blocked full access to the ABC iView site. This might also be a permissions problem with the executable files that the downloader(s) will need. Try it in an admin account and see if it works then.

Sounds like modem/firewall/access issues ;)

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders


 
Hi guys, appreciate all the fine work you do.

Just wanted to let you know the iViewFox plug-in seems to be a bit broken (still) on the Mac platform.

The terminal output looks like this:
Code:

/Users/ret/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/Profiles/
iaqewbwz.default/extensions/iViewFox@forboden.com/rtmpdump
/b.command ; exit;
OK-Computer:~ ret$ /Users/ret/Library/Application\ Support/
Firefox/Profiles/iaqewbwz.default/extensions/iViewFox@
forboden.com/rtmpdump/b.command ; exit;
/Users/ret/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles
/iaqewbwz.default/extensions/iViewFox@forboden.com
/rtmpdump/b.command: line 2: -o: command not found
logout

[Process completed]

A quick look at the insides of b.command, and the problem seems to be quotation-itis, with the ampersand in the URL getting interpreted by the shell:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
"/Users/ret/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles
/iaqewbwz.default/extensions/iViewFox@forboden.com/rtmpdump
/rtmpdump-OSX-Intel" -e "-r"
rtmp://cp53909.edgefcs.net////flash/playback/_definst_/thewire_10_04_11_fix.mp4
"-a" ondemand?auth=daEa5dsdhdhaobydpdDajbqa2bYaKbhdlbU-bmrxcR-8-qnt_yHynJ&aifp=v001
"-o" /Users/ret/Downloads/thewire_10_04_11_fix.mp4 "-W"
http://www.abc.net.au/iview/images/iview.jpg

I suspect the "ondemand?auth..." argument should be in single quotes to avoid interpolation, but obviously monkey-patching that b.command file and executing it independently does not work.

Sorry if there's a more appropriate place I should be reporting this bug...

cheers

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders


 
I posted this to the rtmp mailing list, but I thought I'd post it here too in case someone could help:

The ABC iView site ( http://www.abc.net.au/iview/ ) just added a 24 hour news streaming video. This is different to it's other videos on the site as it never stops streaming (obviously). I'm having some problems figuring out how to find the right perameters to download some of the stream. Here is a copy of the command line output:
http://pastebin.com/yXPG3fXt

I also tried to use rtmpsuck, but I'm not sure if I have it working properly. Here is the output from rtmpsuck:
http://pastebin.com/qg4KDbBR

I'm unsure how to proceed. Any ideas?

Cheers,
Yansky.

Can't help, but is the constant streaming actually in operation? I know it's not in "freezone" / unmetered yet.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders


 
Hi,

After finally discovering the rtmpdump syntax for ABC News 24 (http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/...ly/001087.html) I went trying something not explict, like news24-lo.

To my surprise not only did it work, (replace news24-hi@28773 with news24-lo@28771), but the first three seconds showed a video frame from ABC3. Is this possibly a suggestion that there are other channels (like ABC3) already streaming on the akami service, or do you think that this was just a fluke and a left over frame from the last time the stream was watched (which would have been by some people testing it who may have simply just run the abc3 feed as news24 didn't exist yet)?

I really don't care much for this new news channel, but the idea of live streaming ABC1 2 and/or 3 is really interesting and I really hope that if it's not possible yet, they do so soon.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders


 
Hi guys.

So, the live stream doesn't require an authentication token, for those not aware. It detects your location, and so only Australians can view the stream.

Here are my figures:

High - 640x360 - 300-315MB / hour - news24-high@28773
Med - 512x288 - 200-210MB / hour - news24-med@28772
Low - 400x224 - 116-122MB / hour - news24-lo@28771

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders


 
It looks like the Akamai server path has changed recently... at least, for Monday's Four Corners episode. Not certain it's changed for everything, but sharing what I've found anyway in case it helps.

Basically, I had to change the download command from:
Code:

rtmpdump -r rtmp://cp53909.edgefcs.net////flash/playback/_definst_/$SHOWPATH.mp4 -t rtmp://cp53909.edgefcs.net/ondemand?auth=$TOKEN -o $FILENAME $SWFPARAMS
To:
Code:

rtmpdump -r rtmp://cp53909.edgefcs.net/ondemand?auth=$TOKEN -y mp4:flash/playback/_definst_/$SHOWPATH -o $FILENAME $SWFPARAMS
(where $TOKEN is the auth token, $SHOWPATH is section/show, $FILENAME is the destination, and $SWFPARAMS is the SWF's length and hash (which hasn't changed))

Also, the auth token has to be downloaded from http://tviview.abc.net.au/iview/auth/?v2 instead of http://www2b.abc.net.au/iView/Servic...haker.asmx/isp (which no longer exists)

Anyone else getting this issue for Four Corners and other programs? The Hostworks side seems to be fine but I don't have a connection to Akamai to test it out.

That URL if ever "official" is no longer the right one, even though it still works.

http://tviview.abc.net.au/iview/auth/?v2 is the one the official iView .swf uses. It comes from http://www.abc.net.au/iview/xml/config.xml?v=370

Hmm.. Looks like my posts need to be approved by a moderator? Not used to that :)

Edit: That's weird. This post appears immediately without moderation. The one where I replied said to wait for moderation.

So, risking a double-post here, I said that if you look at http://www.abc.net.au/iview/xml/config.xml?v=370, you will see that the token comes from http://tviview.abc.net.au/iview/auth/?v2, and not any "handshaker" link anymore, even though that still works.

Edit2: There's also different links for getting the series index and show paths, but the old URLs still work. The latest Amiga version uses all the new links. The database format is also slightly different with the new URLs.

Yeah. The new "v2 api" stuff was mentioned by blood.eaglz back on page 2 of this thread ;)

I stayed with the "old" stuff because ABC seem to use it as a backup (perhaps) until ABC are confident of their "v2" bits and remain committed to "v2"

No biggie :cool:

Ahh, I transitioned to v2, because you never know when they're gonna disable the old mechanism. I guess they're always updating though, so..

From what I've gathered they are currently on one weird set up, they are using the new v2 url for getting the actual token, but as it lacks formatting they seem to be using the handshaker via another url http://www.abc.net.au/iView/Services/iViewHandshaker for display puposes (such as the bandwidth checker) rather than trying to parse the v2 string. I could be wrong but that's what I got from a url snoop :)

Has anone got Yanksy's iViewFox working on Mac OS X 10.5? Last time I checked with Yanksy he only had 10.6 so couldn't help me. I'm getting the following error when trying to save anything:
Code:

mycle$ /Users/mycle/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/Profiles/113g9ho0.default/extensions/iViewFox@forboden.com/rtmpdump/b.command ; exit;
dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022
/Users/mycle/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/113g9ho0.default/extensions/iViewFox@forboden.com/rtmpdump/b.command: line 2: 36845 Trace/BPT trap          "/Users/mycle/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/113g9ho0.default/extensions/iViewFox@forboden.com/rtmpdump/rtmpdump-OSX-Intel" -r "rtmp://cp53909.edgefcs.net////flash/playback/_definst_/colbert_10_01_95.mp4" -a "ondemand?auth=daEbCbQdsbfbFcbbca.bgaJdfbFbHbPaQba-bmvvnk-8-rln_zFwoG&aifp=v001" -o "/Users/mycle/Downloads/The Colbert Report 2010 Thursday 29 July 2010.mp4" -W "http://www.abc.net.au/iview/images/iview.jpg"
logout
[Process completed]

The dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022 bit seems to indicate that it's dependent on 10.6 from reading issues other people have had with this message but I thought I'd check here just in case someone has it working and can point me in the right direction.

Thanks
Mycle.

Hi Mycle, you'll be pleased to know I recently got access to a mac running 10.5.8, so I'll have a go at compiling a version of rtmpdump that works on that system.

Stay tuned. :)

Downloads fine for me (Hostworks using 15.70.bat). I'm not sure about Akamai (nobody has mentioned anything - and I can't check).

AFAIK, there are no api2 issues, just F.U.D.
