How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

[PaleWing]

Ok, so it's not quite working as normal...it's on 39% & has had 3 ERROR: RTMP_ReadPAcket, failed to read RTMP packet header
then it tries to resume & does

Not ever seen that message before

Just for the non-Windows people out there, iViewNapper and SBSNapper do work on OS X (and I believe on Linux too) using WINE.

On OS X, it's easiest to use a WINE wrapper tool. One is Wineskin but, most recently, I have successfully used WineBottler. To run one of the Nappers, create a new wrapper; install .NET 3.5 (using WineTricks or the wrapper tool); then install the Napper software. The downloaded videos are saved into the same folder as the Napper executable (i.e. inside the wrapper). Both Nappers work well in that environment. The wrapper ends up around 800Mb in size but is complete with all the Windows support files and WINE bundle etc.

Cheers

It’s failing for me on newly added programs, i.e. tonight’s Media Watch but not last week’s.

Hi
Looks like ABC Iview has just changed to Streaming and Fragments.
I downloaded so many fragments and renamed to MP4 on the first frag and nothing.

Anyone else notice how Iview has changed?

Looks as though a either a newtwork problem or they were testing, in either case I can use IVIew Napper

I have a couple of off-topic matters that someone might help me with (please)..

#1: The captions for latest Lateline are a bit off. Is there a tool that allows some sort of interactive tweaking of a download in the 'Napper format?
#2: I want to snip out just a portion of that show (10m35s to 34m50s), and my attempt with VLC Media Player was pretty poor (start time can be set, couldn't see how to set an end time; and the sound and video streams were out of sync and seemed to have a speed problem). So, a more capable - and free - tool is what I would like.

Suggestions?

[edit] #2 - Well, AVIDemux v2.6.8.9026 was successful in Copy mode for both audio and video, just setting start and end. If there was any option to edit caption files, I just ignored that.

Try HandBrake at handbrake.fr
It allows start and end times for desired clip.

I've noticed that 'Bowling for Columbine' is not fetched by napper. Is it because iView is running it as a different filetype or streaming mode?

All ok! iView has now uploaded it.
