How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

[Anywho]

Hi. This is a thread discussing the use/issues of the iView (ABC Australia) downloaders.

There is currently a Wiki that was put up by Yansky here:

http://iviewdownloaders.wikia.com/wi...wnloaders_Wiki

The various URL links to obtain the downloaders are on that Wiki. If any are pointing to dead links, please let us know here

If there any issues with the downloaders, please let us know here as well... The maintainers of the downloaders will likely be monitoring this thread and will offer help where/when ever they can...

Replay Video Capture will work great for this. ABC will probably continue to change protocols to foil the stream rippers, but since Replay Video Capture is a screen recorder it can't be blocked.

Anywho, I'm trying to add resume functionality to the firefox extension but I'm having some trouble. I decided to double-check with your batch script to just make sure that resuming is actually working cause your script has always worked for that, but it doesn't seem to be working atm.

Here's the output from the batch script:

Downloading normally works fine though. It's just the resume that's borking for some reason.

Yeah, I've noticed that resume doesn't work anymore, well I haven't been able to get it to work for the last couple of releases.

Yeah. Sometimes it happens for no reason. I can't pin it down to what is causing it, but so far I think it borks if the server disconnects you - like it leaves corruption in the file. When you go to resume it, then RTMPdump chucks a wobbly because of the corruption (then you'll need to delete the file and start again )

However, it seems that if you interrupt it (e.g: Ctrl-C) then RTMPdump exits cleanly and you can resume (I think that's how it went - um, er, last I remember).

Is that what you're getting? I've also tried this with RTMPdump 2.2c - same thing

I think the ABC have changed something because regular downloading is no longer working now.

Yep. Batch file is showing some error in even getting authentication (again)... Here we go again - let the game begin

I posted about this problem at that other place...

I changed back to using:
rtmpdump-win32-2.2b.exe

with 15.69 .bat & I haven't had problems resuming downloads. I was having hassles with the later rtmpdumps.

(forget that - it was working this morning - now stuffed again)

Ah, thanks for that. When we get the downloaders working again we'll be able to test 2.2b... Looks like ABC have messed around with their client again

Just to confirm it... Look at the front page source code for the web site. It contains links to a whole bunch of shows. So yes, they have definitely changed things around again
