SBSnapper certainly doesn't show them all, but that's because it only scrapes the "Latest Episodes" page. |
I think the On Demand and Player are quite separate, driven by different streaming server systems.
For instance, 'The Protectors Ep10' - which expires in 2 days - is not playable on SBS Player but is OK from the On Demand server.
The XML file for this show is actually empty!

I have had a quick look within the html file, but can't decipher the control files. The html files at On Demand are incredibly bloated.
StreamTransport will download these shows, but I will have to have a good look with Charles or Fiddler to see what is going on.
A friend recommended a downloader called
DownloadStudio - perhaps it can elucidate.
