Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

Attempted to download Dr Who S3 Ep8
Download stopped, resumed, stopped again.
Files received:
... Episode 8 Human Nature.mp4 (23465Kb)
... Episode 8 Human Nature.mp4.bat (1Kb) which had the single line:
rtmpdump-win32-2.3r557.exe -r rtmp://203.18.195.10/ondemand?auth="124C9F223E32ECA14B0E&mp4:doctorwho_ 03_08" -y "mp4:doctorwho_03_08" -o "Doctor Who Series 3 -- Doctor Who Series 3 Episode 8 Human Nature.mp4" -W "http://www.abc.net.au/iview/images/iview.jpg" --resume


Why might the download come unstuck? I get a success rate of well under 50% when trying to collect ABC programmes.
Using the iView_Downloader (Windows batch version), the command line should actually be something like:
Code:
rtmpdump.exe --resume  -r rtmp://203.18.195.10/ -a ondemand?auth=F9F6DFA62C4
364AED3ED -y mp4:doctorwho_03_08 -o "Doctor Who Series 3 - Doctor Who Series 3 E
pisode 8 Human Nature.mp4" -W http://www.abc.net.au/iview/images/iview.jpg
There seems to be extra data that probably shouldn't be there (the "&mp4:doctorwho_03_08") in the "auth=" parameter. The iView server would likely see that as an invalid authentication and disconnect you after a while (90 to 180 secs.).

You'll have to wait until mce investigates some more I guess
