Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

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.
