Have tried closing down Firefox and restarting - no joy.

There was a message when I first installed it, to copy some command and put it in Terminal - which I did.

??? Am at a loss to know what else I can do.

Perhaps try the terminal command again. Put the following address in Firefox to bring up that page again: chrome://iviewfox/content/ohHai.html

It's possible that my code for checking whether or not the extension is being updated or newly installed could be borked.

I put the code into terminal again,
restarted Firefox,
went to abc.net.au -
the little icon appears.
Clicked on "Watch Program" -
it went to full-screen and started playing the video.

Just to confirm, you're not on OSX 10.5, but OSX 10.6+ yeah?

Unfortunately my version of rtmpdump (which is the downloader within iViewFox) is only compiled to run under OSX 10.6.

@Yansky

Any chance you'll be upgrading it soon?

(rtmpdump usage question)

I have this stream URL (from StreamTransport, which can download it OK, but in its full playing time of course) -

rtmp://pub-fz.cdn.iinet.net.au/public//mp4:waso/waso/waso-rib-ep001-hq.mp4

I am using rtmpdump with -r URL -o filename.mp4 but get this error -

RTMPDump v2.2d (r463)
(c) 2010 Andrej Stepanchuk, Howard Chu, The Flvstreamer Team; license: GPL
Connecting ...
ERROR: RTMP_Connect0, failed to connect socket. 10061 (Unknown error)

OR

RTMPDump v2.2d (r463)
(c) 2010 Andrej Stepanchuk, Howard Chu, The Flvstreamer Team; license: GPL
Connecting ...
INFO: Connected...
ERROR: rtmp server sent error
ERROR: rtmp server requested close

Can someone tell me what is this indicating?

[Edit]
eliminated the problem due to having a 0-byte output file, due to earlier failed attempts. Now, my simple test batch file deletes the output file.
