How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

Can someone else try this on Akamai for me please? I have Hostworks + v15.85 and don't have any problems with that one or others (except that dodgy Artscape one).

Also, you don't have a zero-byte file of the video you're trying to download in the same directory do you? If so, delete it and try again.

Thanks for the reply Anywho - it's started working again on v15.85... hurrah! There weren't any zero byte files.

Urgently need some help / advice - I've run out of ideas
I can't get a download of "Artscape Episode 9 Bryan Ferry In Conversation With Virginia Trioli" - http://www.abc.net.au/iview/#/view/27115
(due to expire in 3 days)
I have tried HiDownloader - each time, only 17m of the 27.5m; and Firefox with latest FlashGot has greyed-out FlashGot Media. :confused:

Not very HiRes though :(]

StreamTransport works on it, albeit at watch'n'download pace.

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

thx @Anywho - tried both, go it OK

Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

 

Another Artscape problem - OK on iView Player, can download once it's going using Stream Transport - but the downloaders can't find the Series.
Superficially at least, the URL seems to be OK in the downloaders vs what shows when using the iView Player.

Has anyone noticed other shows/series @ iView that won't download with iViewNapper, etc?

The Play School series has a problem - index out of range (or similar).
Something wrong in the catalog file, I guess
(extracted from catalog file)
{"a":"3202772","b":"Play School","e":"pre-school recent last-chance","f":[{"a":"28712","f":"2012-11-29 10:35:00","g":"2012-12-06 10:35:00"},{"a":"28742","f":"2012-11-28 10:35:00","g":"2012-12-05 10:35:00"},{"a":"28765","f":"2012-11-27 10:35:00","g":"2012-12-04 10:35:00"},{"a":"28790","f":"2012-11-26 10:35:00","g":"2012-12-03 10:35:00"},{"a":"27776","f":"2012-11-02 10:30:00","g":"2012-12-02 10:30:00"},{"a":"27796","f":"2012-11-01 10:30:00","g":"2012-12-01 10:30:00"},{"a":"27829","f":"2012-10-31 10:30:00","g":"2012-11-30 10:30:00"}]},

I can't see it, though.

Affects both iViewNapper and the Batch Downloader.

[edit]
I used the old series URL 11733 and can get a usable episode list that begins -

[{"a":"3202772","b":"Play School","c":"Join the playschool team to learn a little, while singing songs, listening to stories, making things, and going on adventures with Big Ted, Jemima and all the other toys, on this all time favourite children's show.","e":"pre-school recent last-chance","t":"pre-school","d":"http:\/\/tviview.abc.net.au\/thumbs\/i\/playschooldayandnight.jpg","f":[{"a":"28689","b":"Play School Day And Night","d":"During the Day and Night series the presenters, Alex Papps, Jay Laga'aia, Rachael Coopes, Leah Vandenberg and Teo Gebert, explore the routines and patterns that children may participate in at different times of day and night.","e":"pre-school","f":"2012-11-30 10:35:00","g":"2012-12-07 10:35:00","j":"1473","i":"123","m":"G","n":"kids\/playschool_1112H010.mp4","s":"http:\/\/tviview.abc.net.au\/thumbs\/i\/playschooldayandnight.jpg"},{"a":"28712","b":"Play School Day And Night","d":"During the Day and Night series the presenters, Alex Papps, Jay Laga'aia, Rachael Coopes, Leah Vandenberg and Teo Gebert, explore the routines and patterns that children may participate in at different times of day and night.","e":"pre-school","f":"2012-11-29 10:35:00","g":"2012-12-06 10:35:00","j":"1523","i":"127","m":"G","n":"kids\/playschool_1112H009.mp4","s":"http:\/\/tviview.abc.net.au\/thumbs\/i\/playschooldayandnight.jpg"},

I'll have a look into it.

The url ( http://tviview.abc.net.au/iview/api2/?series=3202772 ) for the series comes back as an empty json object. ( ie: [] )
