Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders


--edit--

edited 03/08/2010

After doing some investigation, it appears the version of RTMPdump included with the iView downloader script is only 1.6 not 2.x (with the required verification features) so the downloading issues I am experiencing are caused by this version of RTMPdump after all. that means that the method described below will not work.

I can't seem to find any binaries of RTMPdump v2.x for OSX 10.5 and it looks like people are having trouble compiling it under 10.5 for various reasons, but due mostly to dependencies on other libraries/packages. It looks like it might not be possible under 10.5 without some serious tinkering...

Hey mycle, i have the same problem and found a little workaround (if you don't mind a little fiddling) to get iViewFox working on OSX 10.5

The ABC iView downloader script for OSX over at source forge has a version of RTMPdump that works with 10.5. If you do a quick google for "sourceforge ABC iView downloader OSX" you should find it.

Download and unpack it. Copy the rtmpdump_universal file in the package over to the iViewFox rtmpdump directory as described in the error message. In your case this appears to be:
/Users/mycle/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/113g9ho0.default/extensions/iViewFox@forboden.com/rtmpdump/
For other people the directory will be slightly different, but you should be able to figure it out.

Then all you have to do is backup the old file by renaming rtmpdump-OSX-Intel to rtmpdump-OSX-Intel.old and replace it with the new one by by renaming rtmpdump_universal to rtmpdump-OSX-Intel
If you are running on a PPC (not intel) swap rtmpdump-OSX-Intel for rtmpdump-OSX-PPC in the above step.

Bingo bango.

This gets me past the immediate [process completed] window and starts the download. Hopefully it will also work for you.

At this point i am getting a few failed downloads where RMTPdump drops out before reaching the end of the download, but I suspect that this is due to some other network issues I'm having at the moment and not RMTPdump itself. This exact build of RMTPdump was working with the downloader script last week until the invalid token errors started. sigh...

Let me know what sort of mileage you get....
