Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders


Whirlpool seems to have given users a 'christmas' present. The moderators clamped down and removed iview references & issued threats late christmas day or early boxing day. Several programmers there came up with fixes for the iview downloaders .. basically most of them are built around youtube-dl which is currently broken. An unofficial patch was created but after the moderator threats on whirlpool the author has withdrawn the patch and asked that those who have it not pass it around. Other programmers who came up with fixes will hopefully migrate elsewhere .. hopefully some will come here. In defense of whirlpool, they are based in Australia and so easily threatened, and they in turn have to pass on those threats to the users.
The latest official youtube-dl (23rd dec) is still broken for iview. Some of the iview fixes were posted externally from whirlpool, but all the iview posts have been removed from the whirlpool sbs forum. One of the SBS downloaders (SBS-YT) will also work, more or less, with iview urls, although there may be issues with the downloaded file names. I just checked and the link is still on the SBS forum here: http://whrl.pl/Re3KmO .. since the downloader is still on the web there shouldn't be issues in posting the direct link here (if the author wanted it gone they would have removed it): https://www.mediafire.com/file/tegnb...SDL-YT.v2.0.7z
