Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders


I'm using iViewNapper vLatest, and just noticed 0-byte .SRT files.

I'm not sure if the episodes really do have sub-titles, so I will try getting the SRT files for these with the iViewBatch which Anywho modified for SRT files only, and report back.

[edit]
With the batch downloader v15.80, I downloaded a couple of things that normally have a .SRT (eg, Foreign Correspondent) but no .SRT file was created.
Since the iVN has created both 0-byte and non-zero .SRT files over the last 2 days in my downloads, I'm thinking it's the way the 2 programs handle the CC-file creation.
Does iVN look at the 'Captions' flag and decide to create a file, even though ABC haven't yet got the .SRT file and put it in place? (I'm guessing)
For Evening News 20-10-10, the iView Player shows that captions are available, the letters 'CC' comes up on screen, but (in the 2 or 3 minutes I watched the stream) there isn't actually any real captioning.
Confused...
