Yes, see the previous page in this forum to get the latest version of the batch downloader (15.81) until mce does the next fix of iViewNapper.

Code:

' This uses the full list of invalid characters - regex method (FASTEST)

'  aesthetics: poor 

    Function CleanInput(ByVal strIn As String) As String

        Dim sb = New StringBuilder()

        Dim invalids = System.IO.Path.GetInvalidPathChars().Union(System.IO.Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars())



        ' Build the regex

        sb.Append("[")

        For Each c In invalids

            sb.Append("\") 

            sb.Append(c)

        Next c

        sb.Append("]")



        ' this is our regex

        Dim re = New System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex(sb.ToString())



          ' Underscore is safe enough - but ugly

        Return re.Replace(strIn, "_")



    End Function

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

Both iViewNapper and iViewNapperLite have been updated to fix the illegal character in filenames problem.

Please check the websites for the new versions (20101217).

A reload of the browser cache may be required.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

mce, suggest you attach the same URL fetch code to the [Catch Up] button, as you would have used in the initial population of the listbox - ie, reading the series catalog by a fetch from http://tviview.abc.net.au/iview/api2/?seriesIndex

batch downloader has a similar refresh capacity (I assume the URL is the same that you are using)

(otherwise, I find I need to quit iViewNapper in order to do that refresh)

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

iViewNapper Version 20101218.

Ctrl CatchUp reloads JSON data.

iViewNapperLite Version 20101218.

Ctrl click on picture reloads JSON data.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

Just a for-information-only post, on iView's cataloguing omissions (with thousands of shows current, it's probably getting to be more difficult for the ABC workers to track these things ).

Notice the school holiday flavour (not really my taste in shows).

Done on 05/01/2011, with Batch Downloader v15.81 with editing of the download_list.xml

timmy time 1/20-21
timmy time 1/26
peppa pig 3/9
bob builder 15/5
bookaboo 1/8
chuggington 2/12
gimme 3/1
Mister Maker 2/18
arthur 4/10

NOT FOUND: Mister Maker 2/19

Interesting that with the Batch Downloader, even though Arthur Series 4 was no longer listed, a simple edit of the xml file worked.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

iView player (website) is OK, but the downloaders are not connecting - approx 20:20PM AEST.
:mad:
Have they changed the internals or the JSON format again? If so, how can I detect that?

[Edit]
+ 3 hours and it seems OK to download (Gardening Aust 21/46)

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

I am a newbie to this but I have some s/w development experience.

Can anyone help with iView_Downloader_OSX? I run v6.8 which fixes the problem of the ABC Index having moved, but I have also tried v6.7.3 (after updating the index bit) with the same result.

I run a PPC G5 with 10.5.8 and took the precaution of building rtmpdump using Macports.

The error is shown below.
Is the fact that the host and token are blank/empty significant?

Note:
I am trying this because I can't get the iViewfox addon in Firefox to work - any ideas there?
