Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

If I had access to a Windows OS that I could muck about with, I'd be all too happy to use BDL. I may save that for next week.

Since I'm using iViewFox, which is also a beautifully easy addon to Mac Firefox, I've had a look at the iv.jsm file, and notice that it calls the series list using:

req.open("GET", 'http://tviview.abc.net.au/iview/api2/?series='+seriesNum, true);

So, using the series number for Dr Who from the current ?seriesindex file, I called up the currently listed files, and notice that this listing includes the naming file format listed there that appears in the BDL cache (i.e. the "n" value "doctorwho_04_04.mp4", "doctorwho_04_03.mp4", etc)

Do you reckon there's a way to simply construct a url that can be entered in a browser that will point to that specific ("n" value) filename - and therefore also be able to be pointed to the logical (but unlisted) filenames - without having to use BDL?

I mean, the mpg4 file has to be physically stored somewhere doesn't it?
