How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

Tried the latest version .. took several minutes to load up the index, but I was patient. I was able to navigate to the episode menus of at least 6 shows (which was 6 more than I was getting), all without forcing windows to restart the program. Sometimes it worked fairly quickly, other times "not responding" and whited out .. but I waited and it started up again by itself. Sometimes the screen-grabs for the shows showed up, other times they didn't. Personally I don't need them .. I can always google a screen-grab if I needed one. Managed to retrieve several episodes ... so it's working, even if glitchy as you noted. But glitchy is better than not at all. :) As an aside, sbsnapper is working fine at the moment.

Thanks muchly!! :)



Thanks for your recent comments and posts: BNW, gxdata, etc

It can still be slow to initially load up (I have a few ideas on how to fix that) but I think i've fixed the delay in navigating now, slow image thumbnails, etc. I reckon you should all try my latest version and see how that goes !!

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

My observations are that Napper and Ripper are exhibiting similar behaviour. There are times when navigation between shows and categories appear normal, and others where both programs go "out to lunch" for a long time before returning. If it is related to the thumbnails, I wonder if its something the Iview folks have done to the site that may be the issue. Perhaps some logic to prevent "long lunches" by returning from a thumbnail fetch if it is taking to long or not found.

Can we have an option to disable the thumbnail download? I'm not a thumbnail user, so it would be fine by me.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

I've just tried to download Clarke & Dawe using both napper and ripper but both close after d/ling the srt file leaving a 0KB mp4 file. using 32bit version. D/L QI last night with no trouble. just tried (for test) chuggington and it fired up alright. I can view it just not d/l it.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

Yes - today and yesterday I have found the same (0-byte mp4), for most News, for Shaun Micallef, #TalkAboutIt, Capital Hill, Gardening Australia - it seems to have begun on 8 April.

I tried 'Ripper 1.02, 1.03 (64-bit only) and the latest 'Napper and unsurprisingly the same behaviour for each is observed.

Unrelated - I have so far (3 weeks absence) found no problems attributable to the series images. Am I right in thinking that 'Ripper v1.03 occasionally tells me that no image is available?

This seems to be a serious change.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

8 April 2015 - start of 0-byte MP4 files

Note that the SRT (caption) files have valid content.

Conclusion: there must be a change of location on the server for the video content, starting progressively for all shows (series) from that date.
:eek:
'Napper / 'Ripper effectively broken?

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

Interestingly, WebDL from 26 March gets it right so any change must be subtle. Sadly, WebDL has its own set of problems with dropped frames at the moment but that's unrelated to the current problem with Napper/Ripper.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

Since Clark and dawn 15-11 did not work
I downloaded 15-10 which does below.

Format looks the same?
How much of the data is collected from sites etc ?

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

Ditto .. the latest version sometimes eventually decides for some reason of its own to forgo thumbnails .. and then it all works speedily. Or worked .. before the next issue showed up that others have noted.

And ditto re an option to turn off thumbnails .. and keep them off. Unlike the subtitles which seem to turn on every time it I run irip.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

Over the past week or so I've found d/ls to be very erratic. Sometimes it works first try .. once irip managed to get to the episode I'm after .. as it is right now (Dr Who Confidential 1.10). Plays fine after d/l. Other times I need to repeatedly attempt a d/l with all sorts of different rtmpdump behaviours .. sometimes it hangs on 0%, a few times it gave a brief data burst, said 845% (yes 800-something %) and hung, other times got part way thru' and then hung (as in over 15mins - I was patient), or one of a bunch of rtmpdump error messages and then rtmpdump closes. Just tried midsummer murders 17.1 and it's ongoing with no issues.

One thing I did notice is that I seem to have a better success rate if I double click the episode to initiate the d/l rather than single click and then click the d/l button. Quirky, to say the least.

Actually it is working better for me today than it did on sat .. when I had to try 5 times to d/l something. Today (mon am), two trys, both immediate successes.

Maybe there's a bandwidth issue on the iview server which is causing the issue? I did notice back in the past that around the time a very popular show went up on iview than inap would hang on 0%, part way thru' .. or give one of the same error messages that I've been getting with irip recently. Wait 1/2 hour or so, try again .. and worked fine

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

It's hard to reconcile some of the above, probably because people are downloading shows that have been mounted pre-8April.

As a test, can you* try the series 'Compass', and download the episode broadcast on 2015-04-05 (it should succeed), and also the one broadcast on 2015-04-12 (it should fail)>

In my experience, almost everything mounted on iView on or after 8April will fail to download.

FYI when a 0-byte MP4 file results, I do delete it and try again. And I have tried napper/ripper downloader versions.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

OK that is what I have found. Any suggestions where / what to try.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

Yep, as I said previously, WebDL (http://delx.net.au/projects/webdl/) has no problem with this. Just confirmed with Apr12 Compass as requested.

I made an earlier comment about WebDL dropping frames on downloaded files. It's actually a known ffmpeg issue. WebDL pulls the video as a .ts and then calls ffmpeg to re-encode to .mp4. Disable the conversion in common.py and the .ts plays perfectly.

Like I said, I am using a pre-08Apr commit of WebDL and it's having no problems with post-08Apr content so the issue is clearly something very subtle which is tripping up napper/ripper but not WebDL. That said, I'm testing WebDL on a unix machine. Could this be down to silliness like something in the napper/ripper logic tripping over \r vs \r\n?

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

Alas seems so. I have managed to get items dated the 10th .. but tried a few dated 13th .. no go.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

For what it's worth rtmpdump gives the error:
"netstream.play.StreamNotFound"

Or something very similar .. difficult to catch since it's on screen for less than 1s.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

I haven't yet tried, and I'm not sure what debugging is implemented in either 'napper or 'ripper, but both can be put into debug mode.
But I suspect it's not much use unless the calling program (ripper/napper) tells rtmpdump to pass back or output is redirected (it's a while since I wrote downloader code, but I did that when testing for flaky downloads a couple of years ago).

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

Given you can start a dl and then close rip or nap and the dl will finish off, I suspect there's not much, if any, feedback from rtmpdump.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

Hi folks, i've been looking at this today, but so far no joy =(

Not a simple fix i'm afraid (or at least not yet). I'm using wireshark and all kinds of tools to try and figure out what has changed...

I don't think it has anything to do with the auth token, or the fake .swf file, or the structure of the rtmp path, it's something else perhaps more sinister unfortunately. If anyone can shed any light that would be great cause i'm tearing my hair out !!

Sorry i'm not responding individually to everyone's msgs at the moment (especially on FB) i'm a bit under the pump until this is resolved !

As a side note, I can use Internet Download Manager to download the stream - even though it looks like I am getting a flv file, it's actually a mp4.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

dman, how do you use Internet Download Manager to get an iView show?
I assume you need to go to the iView player, and that it can capture the show as it begins to play - not forcing you to wait while the 30 minutes or so is shown?

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

Just read a message from <anon> who send me a wireshark capture.

It shows that the metered stuff has now been 'Brightcoved' like the unmetered stuff was.

http://iviewmetered-vh.akamaihd.net/i/playback/_definst_/_video/drwhohuman_01_12_,650000,495000,205000,40755,.mp4. csmil/master.m3u8?hdnea=st=1429012222~exp=1429222712~acl =/*~hmac=580ec2d7e2eb206259163c526702cb42db0f9279e2b 62ec2b2d94f2293a07292

That will get the SMIL to the segments.

This is the same AdobeHDS that affects SBSOD.

Thanks <anon> for helping out.

Oops, I see dman already posted similar. :)

Thanks dman.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

So I just use my web browser, I use Firefox, but Chrome also works, and I go to the iview page, navigate to the program I want to watch and when the program starts playing a download button appears usually at the top right hand corner of the picture - I can then select the resolution I want to download it at, and off it goes. At that point, I stop the main display and usually the program then comes down at the full speed of my connection which is around 8-9Mbit.

IDM installs an extension in the browser which monitors download clicks and embedded media allowing you to download not only iview but streaming media content from most sources.

Cheers.

Simple downloading the unchangeable Samsung way.
Enjoy

curl -u "Authorization:Basic ZmVlZHRlc3Q6YWJjMTIz" "https://tviview.abc.net.au/iview/feed/samsung/?keyword=0-z"

select the show you want and grap the videoAsset

<abc:videoAsset><![CDATA[https://abcsecurehttp-a.akamaihd.net/playback/_definst_/kids/skittingme_02_04.mp4?d=samsung&a=b18ee9d6acbeb42de 65e0403e10d938c]]></abc:videoAsset>

Thanks, works.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

I'm not familiar with curl parameters. Using the above, I get an error:
curl: (1) Protocol https not supported or disabled in libcurl

Running curl -V, --version gives me this version information:

Should I download another / later version?
[edit]
I downloaded from here
http://www.paehl.com/open_source/?do..._741_0_ssl.zip
v7.41.0 Download WITH SUPPORT SSL

but using the -k parameter (turns off certificate verification), I still didn't get any output.

Help, please!

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

my curl -V
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtmp rtsp smtp smtps telnet tftp

You're missing openssl
But who needs curl.

Anything that support https

ie python
headers = {'Authorization': 'Basic ZmVlZHRlc3Q6YWJjMTIz' }
url = "https://tviview.abc.net.au/iview/feed/samsung/?keyword=0-z"
req = Request(url, None, headers)
res = urlopen(req, timeout=30)
xml = fromstring(res.read().decode("utf-8"))

for item in xml.getiterator('item'):

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

The curl command returns 1, and otherwise does nothing. It doesn't display data, create a file, display an error message or anything else.

It does this pretty much instantly - about 20 mlliseconds. That's too quick. Looking at the exchange with wireshark, I see curl connecting, establishing the SSL connection, then a five or six hundred bytes are returned, no more. The the connection is terminated by curl.

Any ideas?

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

In the end I had to use this.

curl -k -H "Authorization:Basic ZmVlZHRlc3Q6YWJjMTIz" "https://tviview.abc.net.au/iview/feed/samsung/?keyword=0-Z"

Then use your favorite multi-part downloader to fetch the video from the <abc:videoAsset> tag.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

more ?

curl "https://tviview.abc.net.au/iview/feed/sony/?keyword=0-Z"

json output
curl -k -H "Authorization:Basic ZmVlZHRlc3Q6YWJjMTIz" "https://tviview.abc.net.au/iview/feed/Humax/?keyword=0-Z"

curl "https://tviview.abc.net.au/iview/feed/xbox/?keyword=0-Z"

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

I had a general look at <title>Never miss a moment : ABC iview</title>
The Very start point


I had noticed Subtitles using IVIEW napper for Post april 12 - New Format would be downloaded with it.

Well Subtitles are now XML by the look of it.

Doctor Series 1 - 10 was one of these

ABC Doctor Series 1 10 Uses XML for Subtitles Beware
http://cdn.iview.abc.net.au/cc/drwhohuman_01_10.xml
http://iview.abc.net.au/cc/anzacgirls_01_06.xml'
ep.captions = 'http://iview.abc.net.au/cc/poldark_01_01.xml';

I tried
http://iview.abc.net.au/cc/drwhohuman_01_10.xml
CDN is not required


They now have a standard format
