Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders


Hi guys, appreciate all the fine work you do.

Just wanted to let you know the iViewFox plug-in seems to be a bit broken (still) on the Mac platform.

The terminal output looks like this:
Code:
/Users/ret/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/Profiles/
iaqewbwz.default/extensions/iViewFox@forboden.com/rtmpdump
/b.command ; exit;
OK-Computer:~ ret$ /Users/ret/Library/Application\ Support/
Firefox/Profiles/iaqewbwz.default/extensions/iViewFox@
forboden.com/rtmpdump/b.command ; exit;
/Users/ret/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles
/iaqewbwz.default/extensions/iViewFox@forboden.com
/rtmpdump/b.command: line 2: -o: command not found
logout

[Process completed]
A quick look at the insides of b.command, and the problem seems to be quotation-itis, with the ampersand in the URL getting interpreted by the shell:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
"/Users/ret/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles
/iaqewbwz.default/extensions/iViewFox@forboden.com/rtmpdump
/rtmpdump-OSX-Intel" -e "-r" 
rtmp://cp53909.edgefcs.net////flash/playback/_definst_/thewire_10_04_11_fix.mp4
"-a" ondemand?auth=daEa5dsdhdhaobydpdDajbqa2bYaKbhdlbU-bmrxcR-8-qnt_yHynJ&aifp=v001 
"-o" /Users/ret/Downloads/thewire_10_04_11_fix.mp4 "-W" 
http://www.abc.net.au/iview/images/iview.jpg
I suspect the "ondemand?auth..." argument should be in single quotes to avoid interpolation, but obviously monkey-patching that b.command file and executing it independently does not work.

Sorry if there's a more appropriate place I should be reporting this bug...

cheers
