I used the 'FFmpeg' method to download shows, but I quickly got sick of having to search the XML file, copy the URL, etc.
Until the others get around to fixing their iView rippers, those of you wanting to download shows can try this.
This is something quick I coded up for my own use. I have no plans to maintain it, especially if the others get their programs updated. iViewer will grab and load the XML file of your choice (so far only tried using the 'sony' one listed earlier). I also added the option of downloading the subtitle (if it exists) and converting it to an SRT file (again not guaranteed to actually work).
I made this using VB5 (on XP 32 bit). As such I have no idea how it will handle newer OS, let alone 64 bit. As I have no access to these don't bother asking to fix it if it doesn't work on them. I'm not sure what DLL files will be needed. I included the VB5 runtime DLL, as well as a copy of the Wine version of WININET.DLL. I have no idea if these will work with it as I already have the equivalent DLL files on my PC. You may also need other DLL files I don't know about.
Finally, you will need to download the Windows version (only tried with the 32-bit (stable) version, may work with other/64-bit versions) of FFmpeg from
http://www.ffmpeg.org/ and place ffmpeg.exe in the same directory.
Again, I have no intention of maintaining this. Enjoy it while it still works (if it works).
EDIT: Original download was broken when I added SRT support. New download should actually download the right video (hopefully).
