Version 20140222 is available.

Fix for illegal characters in filename.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

Using version 20140222 of iViewNapper and 2.3r557 of rtmpdump to download Rake ~280Mb file and rtmpdump crashes approximately every 20%. Unfortunately cannot provide errors as the window rtmpdump runs in closes immediately. Log file does not show any errors either.

Not too much of an issue just means I have to start the fetch 5 times to get the episode.:)

Thanks for your work.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

On an older PVR, the downloaded file wouldn't play. Examining it with ffprobe showed an flv container format, despite the .mp4 file name extension. Changing the extension to .flv, then:
"[path to]\ffmpeg" -i %1 -vcodec copy -acodec copy "%~n1.mp4"
fixed it.

Yep, iView uses the F4V file container with a mp4 extension (for god knows what reason), so a lot of older hardware chokes on it without remuxing it first, though you do not need to change the extension first.

Since its been a while, and all previous downloads links are dead, here is my way of dealing with remuxing files.[download from google drive]

Basically its 2 bat files, a Zeranoe FFmpeg build and a dos app called recycle.exe from MaDdoG software CmdUtils v1.5.

The bat files and FFmpeg are in the same folder as the files we want to remux, while recycle.exe is put in the windows => system32 directory.

To do a single file drag and drop it onto remux.bat, and it will do its thing, the bat file has some redundancies built in (which is why recycle.exe is used rather than windows inbuilt delete.exe) as in the past some iView files have had garbage data at the beginning that resulted in unplayable remuxes, so if the original file was gone you had to start from scratch, then fix the original file with a hex editor, then remux it, luckily this is extremely rare now.

remux.bat copies the streams to a new file [original filename]_PROCESSING.mp4, in case the process f's up during the remux so you know it wasn't successful, and can just delete the processing file and start again. If successful it then renames it to [original filename]_ReMux.mp4, so you can tell at a glance if the file has already been remuxed, then sends the original to the recycle bin so its retrievable if need be.

Code:

ffmpeg -i %1 -vcodec copy -acodec copy "%~n1_PROCESSING.mp4" 

ren "%~n1_PROCESSING.mp4" "%~n1_ReMux.mp4"

recycle -f %1

feeder.bat is simply a for loop that sends all *.mp4 files through remux.bat, even previously remuxed ones.

Wait, you mean the token?

If so the akamihd unmetered stuff uses tokenhd from the same auth.xml

example

Code:

GET /z/playback/_definst_/goodgame_10_02.mp4/manifest.f4m?hdcore=true&hdnea=st=1393584602~exp=1393594601~acl=/*~hmac=b4d6bd5c6072716114003091ae1a8e579191d477e44bb6344ee8cb2fa86deb58&hdcore=2.10.3&g=YLMGAYNGTKEM

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

Ah crap,

From what I can tell (with the help of Urlsnooper2 and wireshark), it appears the json is now being hosted at http://project.abc.net.au (on loading a gzip file identified as containing json is transferred from there) I got a 403 error trying to follow the url.

However the site itself seems to contain a lot of the directory within the source code of the channel, categories and programs A-Z pages, allowing you to branch off to each episode. Whether that would be usable for our purposes I'll leave to the coders to determine.

Hope this helps in some way.

That seems to just be the watchlists for individual users.

In the worst case, it looks like it is possible to scrape the details from the HTML, but that's WAY more of a hassle to parse (and problematic in terms of it breaking) than getting the JSON.

Probably the best thing would be to put wireshark into promiscuous mode and capture traffic from non-browser app, like a TV or Xbox.

I hope not, as that is the only JSON file I got during the entire trace, along with a bunch of javascript files from the same http://project.abc.net.au

Code:

/assets/js/iview-watchlist.js

/assets/js/iview-filter.js

/assets/js/webtrends.load.iview.js

/assets/js/iview-main.js

and a couple of javascript gzips

potentially missed some

Also tried promiscuous mode while using the android app, either I don't have wireshark setup properly or there is no json sent to the android app (possibly just uses the html).

Unfortunately this is not going to be as easy as when the v2 api came out, I only needed URLsnooper2 for that :)

Right, but I think that's all it is. The program list is contained within the HTML. That makes some sense, since they're no longer using flash for the rendering.

I'd imagine the JSON data is still available somehow for apps that don't spin up a whole browser. Whether Android is an example, I couldn't say.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

Hi guys.

I'm in the same boat as you guys.

Been looking at wireshark captures and .js files and I cannot see any type of index like before.

The config.xml has changes with two new lines but nothing else there.

I haven't been over the iview site thoroughly but before they had a big window of shows, where now I don't think they do.

They maybe using this api: http://developer.tmsapi.com/docs/data_v1/ but customised.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

Anything of use in the feeds? They were full of broken links a couple of days ago. Now some are populated & others completely empty.

Been using FF webconsole...
List of titles. Title search. Related programs. Buggered if I can find anything by category.

I've been able to save a manifest & also download using AdobeHDS (via HDS Link Detector). Not sure if config.xml is being used. Seems like you need html+auth+manifest to get to the nitty gritty. Still experimenting. Haven't tried hdsdump yet tho'

Also not seeing expiry dates & times. Webpage is vague about this (which is annoying many users on the messageboard, who are also missing the Last Chance category!).

but this was what i added
I have the latest version (22-02-2014) and it still does the same thing (rtmp window quits after a few seconds with nothing downloaded but the subtitles, even that only downloaded the 2nd time i tried it)
It actually downloaded the mp4 file of the black nationalism episode, but it's 0kb. The swingers one won't even download that.
(I was downloading 3 other shows, but I've never had this problem when downloading multiple shows before)
Hope you can help.

Oh, also, I tried it on the iview website & it seems to play ok, so for some reason the napper isn't napping)

I'm not sure what happened. Usually when I nap a program, it shows up right away in my iview folder, and i can refresh to see the file size gradually increasing. Seems like this time the file didn't show up? but it was still there downloading, so rtmp closed.
Is there any way to set rtmp to not close? would help in cases where it shows an error but it disappears too fast to read.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

Las night I was having problems trying to download Four corners. Would crash & not download anything. I only noticed as I'd left iviewnapper on overnight to download the Four Corners ep & iviewnapper had closed (it stays open normally) (though today I noticed it had downloaded a 0kb .mp4 file before it crashed last night I guess)

Just tried latest one iviewnapper today & it crashed when loading with a null error. I tried the previous version & it has loaded ok.
It is downloading Four Corners as normal right now.

This might be related to my previous problem with Weird Weekends?

Something's changed that makes the latest iviewnapper not work like it did?

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

Just for the non-Windows people out there, iViewNapper and SBSNapper do work on OS X (and I believe on Linux too) using WINE.

On OS X, it's easiest to use a WINE wrapper tool. One is Wineskin but, most recently, I have successfully used WineBottler. To run one of the Nappers, create a new wrapper; install .NET 3.5 (using WineTricks or the wrapper tool); then install the Napper software. The downloaded videos are saved into the same folder as the Napper executable (i.e. inside the wrapper). Both Nappers work well in that environment. The wrapper ends up around 800Mb in size but is complete with all the Windows support files and WINE bundle etc.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

I have a couple of off-topic matters that someone might help me with (please)..

#1: The captions for latest Lateline are a bit off. Is there a tool that allows some sort of interactive tweaking of a download in the 'Napper format?
#2: I want to snip out just a portion of that show (10m35s to 34m50s), and my attempt with VLC Media Player was pretty poor (start time can be set, couldn't see how to set an end time; and the sound and video streams were out of sync and seemed to have a speed problem). So, a more capable - and free - tool is what I would like.

Suggestions?

[edit] #2 - Well, AVIDemux v2.6.8.9026 was successful in Copy mode for both audio and video, just setting start and end. If there was any option to edit caption files, I just ignored that.

Try HandBrake at handbrake.fr
It allows start and end times for desired clip.
