How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

Could be. But I suspect iView / online media is being resourced much better.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

Recently I have noticed that if I start a download with iviewnapper or sbsnapper, my Firefox browser loses access to DNS resolution and can no longer find web pages. Once I stop downloading, access to DNS resolution is immediately available.

Anyone know what might be happening?

I used to be able to browse concurrently with downloading, so something has changed recently.

Hi,

I'm trying to get iviewfox and plus7fox working, but I'm having the same problem.

After rebooting firefox (OSX 10.6) after installing the add-on I get asked to run this in terminal:

chmod a+x /Users/luc/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/Profiles/d8vw6mmg.Default User/extensions/Plus7Fox@forboden.com/rtmpdump/*

But when I do I get this error:

chmod: /Users/luc/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/d8vw6mmg.Default: No such file or directory
chmod: User/extensions/Plus7Fox@forboden.com/rtmpdump/*: No such file or directory

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I don't have a Mac, but I think I can see where the error is:
looks like it should be:
Note the slash+space between "Default" and "User"? ;)

Sounds like you have a slow connection and RTMPdump is sucking the bandwidth out of it. Usually DNS queries are supposed to respond in a certain amount of time, else you get a timeout error. If RTMPdump is sucking everything down at maximum speed, then there is a possibility your connection is getting flooded and the DNS response is then taking too long to get through.

So what's changed? Perhaps the path your connection is taking to the servers is less congested now and RTMPdump is taking a fair chunk of the bandwidth now.

For some reason the email updates to this thread seem to have stopped again for me. :confused:

Anyway, I've updated iViewFox and Plus7Fox to fix the text escape issues.

Thanks Anywho.

Both iViewfox and Plus7Fox are working for me now.

I expect that is it: on a good day my bandwidth is only 450kBps due to distance from the exchange, but recently it has been about 300kBps.

I seem to recall RTMPdump not using the whole bandwidth before, but maybe now the total has dropped to RTMPdump levels and it takes priority, blocking everything else out.

Hi Have just installed iviewfox into Firefox on my Mac OSx.
The scripts appear to run fine but when the download is complete I cant view it in any video program (ie Quicktime, Itunes, Toast 10 etc) each program says it doesn't know the file type.
Is the file in a Mp4 format or something different - is there something I can do?

thanks

Have you tried VLC? That will play pretty much anything.
