Yeah, that's what I found was happening yesterday.

I'm going to test whether I have a disk problem (It could be a disk read when the catalog.json / index.json is read - but I'm not convinced of that).

Nah, I wouldn't blame your disk. iView has been having issues as you've found out. The main index(es) are sometimes loading completely and sometimes they're are not. This is what is causing the JSON parser errors.

I know the batch file version will either give you a menu with all the index or else you get a menu with just "0. Go back to Main Menu" when the index doesn't completely load.

I've found that if the index loads when you use ABC's iView website, then you'll often find that the index loads for the batch file version properly (and I'm guessing similar for iViewNapper). Luck of the draw I'm thinking :rolleyes:

Yes, parallels my experience. I don't have disk errors, anyway ;)

Off-topic, re VLC media player (v1.1.5) -
When a .TXT file with the exact same (primary) filename as the video (.mp4) file is in the same folder, VLC seems to regard it as a sub-titles file even if there is a .SRT file there.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

Does anyone have an iPad to see where the new iPad app gets it's videos / API from? The iPad doesn't (usually) support RTMP so an iPad suggests that there may be a http delivery method now. I can't see any obvious urls in the binaries, but objective-c binaries aren't that obvious.

Slightly OT: this new GUI for rtmpdump on the mac looks pretty neat

Numerous CC formats use the .TXT extension (though quite different internally), so my description files will have to use .DES or something else.

I was away for 9 days so missed Insiders for last Sunday.
Anywho, can you suggest how I can construct a suitable set of xml control files for the Batch Downloader? I don't have a "model" or template to guide me.
The download index does not currently list Insiders (though Inside Business is still there).

I've tried various permutations and each one comes up as "not on the server".

Code:

[Insiders 05/12/10][insiders_10_12_05.mp4]

[Insiders 05/12/10][insiders_101205.mp4]

[Insiders 05/12/10][the_insiders_10_12_05.mp4]

[Insiders 05/12/10][the_insiders_101205.mp4]

:(

(edit: Don't forget to delete the zero-byte file after each attempt ;))

This works -

Code:

[Insiders 05/12/10][news/insiders_101205.mp4]

Using your suggestion, I did what was obvious I guess and that was to see what the format was for other "news" programs, in particular Inside Business. The essential part was the path, of course.

Zero-byte files always trap me. Thanks for the reminder!

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

iViewNapper says "Fetching Episode" quickly when I try to download, however, the menu then disappears and the download doesn't commence. :mad:

Running out of ideas. 7mateNapper and SBSNapper both work fine.

Also, anybody know of a way to save downloads to another drive/directory?
