How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

Thanks Anywho and Yansky for setting up this new outpost where we can share our code.

I've just updated the Linux script for those who still use it. I'm having a bit of trouble updating the wiki at the moment so I'll post the link here too.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

Hi,

After finally discovering the rtmpdump syntax for ABC News 24 (http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/...ly/001087.html) I went trying something not explict, like news24-lo.

To my surprise not only did it work, (replace news24-hi@28773 with news24-lo@28771), but the first three seconds showed a video frame from ABC3. Is this possibly a suggestion that there are other channels (like ABC3) already streaming on the akami service, or do you think that this was just a fluke and a left over frame from the last time the stream was watched (which would have been by some people testing it who may have simply just run the abc3 feed as news24 didn't exist yet)?

I really don't care much for this new news channel, but the idea of live streaming ABC1 2 and/or 3 is really interesting and I really hope that if it's not possible yet, they do so soon.

Big ups to Anywho and Yansky too. Also to mce for hosting the archived whirlpool threads. mhtml can also be read in Firefox up to 3.6.x using the unMHT extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8051/
EDIT: Added this info to the wikia page. Sorry I didn't sign the wikia edit, but I assumed the logon here was linked to the wikia entry.

And big thanks to you Vipher for your continued support of linux users of iView.

Thanks for the help on the mailing list. I've updated the firefox extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...0505/versions/

I also noticed those couple of frames at the start of the saved stream. I just thought it was a glitch in my media player, but perhaps it is part of another stream like you said.

Hi guys.

So, the live stream doesn't require an authentication token, for those not aware. It detects your location, and so only Australians can view the stream.

Here are my figures:

High - 640x360 - 300-315MB / hour - news24-high@28773
Med - 512x288 - 200-210MB / hour - news24-med@28772
Low - 400x224 - 116-122MB / hour - news24-lo@28771

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

It looks like the Akamai server path has changed recently... at least, for Monday's Four Corners episode. Not certain it's changed for everything, but sharing what I've found anyway in case it helps.

Basically, I had to change the download command from:
To:
(where $TOKEN is the auth token, $SHOWPATH is section/show, $FILENAME is the destination, and $SWFPARAMS is the SWF's length and hash (which hasn't changed))

Also, the auth token has to be downloaded from http://tviview.abc.net.au/iview/auth/?v2 instead of http://www2b.abc.net.au/iView/Servic...haker.asmx/isp (which no longer exists)

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

Anyone else getting this issue for Four Corners and other programs? The Hostworks side seems to be fine but I don't have a connection to Akamai to test it out.

It actually got changed to http://www2b.abc.net.au/iViewHandsha...haker.asmx/isp about a month ago. Which downloader (and version) are you using?
