Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders


As far as I know, leaving SBS Napper open means you are not reading the latest programme catalogue from the servers, you have what was read at SBS Napper startup. After a couple of days the data is going to be "stale" with new programmes missing and old programmes you still have listed in fact "taken down" and no longer available.

I did hear discussion a while back that SBS are lazy and in fact just remove stuff from the catalogue, but NOT from the server, and you can in fact retrieve "removed" programmes if you can craft (or have) an appropriate CURL query to issue :-)

Calvin.

BTW: Again apologies, I KNOW this is the iViewNapper thread, but I thought it best to respond where the comment was posted.
