Tiz done... You can get the latest (for Windows) v2.4 (110812) from here.

Nice one! Thanks for putting this out there. :cool: As promised, have tested this successfully, using some Q&D bodges to iViewDownloader v15.84, thusly:

Code:

...
SET RTMP_DEBUG=-# -V
SET RTMP_PORT=

SET CURL_OPT=--compressed -B -s -o
...

...
) else (
        bin\rtmpdump.exe %RESUME% %RTMP_DEBUG% -r rtmp://203.18.195.10/ %RTMP_PORT% -a ondemand?auth=%TOKEN% -y %SHOW_PATH% -o "%SAVE_PATH%" %SWFPARAM%
)

REM pause

rem echo %ERRORLEVEL%

if ERRORLEVEL 3 (
        Call :LogMessage Error connecting to port 1935. Retrying on port 80...
        set /a RETRY_COUNT=!RETRY_COUNT! - 1

        if !RETRY_COUNT! GTR 1 (
                DEL "%SAVE_PATH%"
                SET RTMP_PORT=-c 80
                goto RetryDownload
        ) else (
                call :FailedList %1 %2
                if /i "%LEECH%" == "p" pause
                goto DownloadFailed
        )
)
...

I noticed that I had to force the deletion of the zero-byte file created if the 1935 port connect failed. Otherwise the retry fails; rtmpdump appears to insist the stream output file doesn't exist. I hope this helps; I'm sure it needs refinement by someone who understands batch programming and the downloaders more than me.

Not sure if aunty have been watching us here, but it seems the iview client itself has stopped failing over to port 80. Now we're ahead of the curve! :p

Cheers.

Yo Gabba Gabba ep5 won't begin download with either iViewNapper or the Batch Downloader - is OK on the iViewer Player website.
Not near any software tools at present, so can't see what's up.

There are no errors reported by either - just no D/L

Anyone else having the same result?

It's the ":" that's screwin' it up. I could have sworn this was fixed ages ago... Looks like the bug's come out in the warmer weather :eek:

It does NOT play on the iView site. I get this on the screen.

(I thought it was too early for bugs :p )

It did at the time I posted (at least the first 90 seconds). Maybe ABC will mount it again.
These are the things that keep life perplexing. :confused:
Actually, it is OK on iView Player right now for me (Tues 7:50pm, Melbourne time) - I skipped through all 23 minutes of it. But it fails on iVN (v20110616).

Still dead for me (Tues 7:30, Adelaide). I think they're trying to point the windmill in the right direction to get the most wind... But it's dead calm here at the moment. Either that or they've bought a new cockroach and it's ruined the treadmill to the generator :D

30+ mins ago I tried another (Atoms Alive Ep5), and got Akamai serving it (usual: Hostworks). But I will download the JSON file for YGG 2/5 and take a look at it (eyeballs, no software tools).

[edit]

OK, the reason that the downloaders don't work is probably that the server file (as named in the series ID=2986838 JSON) does not exist - I suspect it is a human mistake, incrementing the wrong end of the episode identification string -

ep#4 (OK): kids/yogabba_10_02_04.mp4
ep#5 (NA): kids/yogabba_11_02_04.mp4

When (for #5) kids/yogabba_10_02_05.mp4 is used, it downloads.

But why the iView Player works for episode #5 - no idea.

Could be that it hasn't propagated to the akamai server chache that your ISP connects to but it has to others. Even though it's one http address, it's propagated to multiple hosting servers.

Nope. Still doesn't show here using the iView website. This is today's response. So it must have been corrected on Akamai servers but not on the Hostworks servers.
