Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

In case anyone is interested. I have written an ABC iView app which is implemented as a FUSE driver. This means that if you are running Linux you can 'mount' iview so that it appears on your computer as just another drive/folder. You can browse for shows using your file browser and then click on a show to watch it through your favourite media player. You can also download a show if you want just by dragging and dropping the show you want into another folder. As far as your computer knows, iView is like a USB flash drive.

The program is here:

The program has very few dependencies. Just three, and if you running most modern desktop distributions they will be in your repositories. The dependenies are FUSE, jannson (json library) and libxml2 (xml library).

Note: To program this I mainly used LLVM Clang, but many of you are using GCC. The program compiles perfectly under GCC. You can do this by changing 'clang' to 'gcc' in the makefile. If you still have issues compiling the code it could be because you have an older version of your build utils than mine. That's OK too, just change the -std=c11 to -std=c99.

The program is implemented in C and uses librtmp and doesn't call rtmpdump so this should help to avoid several issues people have been having with these types of apps.

Have fun!
Hi, and welcome! Nice to see a new face on the horizon.

Bizarre, but interesting idea you have there. Wow, way to think outside of the box!

WP scrapped your thread in the Linux forum - probably because of the so-called "ABC doesn't authorize or support downloading iView programs in any way" sentence in ABC's FAQ pages. Pretty sure YouTube has a similar clause, but I never see those threads canned there

Anyway, nice to see you here. Hope your stay is enjoyable
