How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

The downloaders are working for me right now (and have been over the past 4-6 hours). In fact, it has been a trouble-free period for the last 7 to 10 days.

Try the batch downloader (light-weight, easy to get going) - or iView Napper.

Also it is worth going to the iView site to try a couple of (small) kids shows, to see what the connection is like from your place.

iview napper works
on internode ;)

Hey guys I recently discovered iViewFox reading around the forums here.

I've got it installed on a rev A MBP, and ran the terminal command as prompted before my initial use. However, when I attempt to download any programs I get the following error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What processor type do you have?

hi Yansky

Mac osx 10.4.11

(admission - the post i actually posted was a copy of someone elses post (in another forum) who has essentially the same problem as me - well at least we both got the same error message in the Terminal window that ended with "Bad CPU type in executable logout")

I cannot actually replicate that error message now but it is still not working. this is what is happening now

Open iview and it loads. Click on program to watch/download, select episode and click on 'continue'. Program goes to load but then diverts to prompt to save (so far so good?).

So then it gives Save as "Laid series 1 Episode 2.mp4" so i click save. I go to the folder where i saved it and the file is called "Laid series 1 Episode 2.srt". When i open this file VLC starts up but can't get nothing to play.

and now i'm stumped............... any help would be good thanks

Do you have the latest version installed (1.2.2)?
https://addons.mozilla.org/af/firefo...wfox/versions/

Try running Firefox in private browsing mode, that seemed to fix it for this user: https://addons.mozilla.org/af/firefo...#review-255265

If that doesn't work, could you try this for me so I can narrow down where the error is:
Could you install a portable version of firefox, then install iviewfox into the portable version and see if it works for you?

http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable

( The portable version wont mess up your installed version of Firefox.)

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

yep - using 1.2.2

tried private browsing mode but no dice

seems that the portable version of firefox wont work on Mac OSX

update - cannot even get it to save a .srt file now so gonna uninstall it and try re-installing

ps version 1.2.2 isn't on here "https://addons.mozilla.org/af/firefox/addon/iviewfox/"

but must have found it the other night so will keep looking.

also in trying to get it to work the other night somehting about it having to run from a specific port but cannot find that info now and also not sure how to find out what port it is working through (if that makes sense)

thanks

Yesterday my iViewNapperLite (20101218) stopped working. It will not load. Keeps coming up with a script error. Installing the iView NapperLite files again did not change the fault. The script error is attached. Many thanks

Looks like the JSON files were not available at the time you were trying to get the "index". Seems OK now.
