How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

[blood.eaglz]

Well....Damn.

Came on to see if I had the latest batch, as was hoping to try the "old ep" trick, only to find that yes I do, so it doesn't work, and that mce has called it quits :'(

So before I say farewell, I got to ask, will you be making the source code to the nappers available so that those smarter than I can maintain and/or build upon the great work you've done (and perhaps we'll even get the batch up and running again)?

Thanks mce for all your work and dedication to this little group.

So long and thanks for all the fish...

Cheers all.

Many thanks to you, mce! It's been great.
Is anyone out there going to meet the challenge?

Has anyone taken up IviewNapper? 20140222 has stopped working for me - looks like the site meta data format has changed .

It has stopped for me also. I think I was using it in mid-change, had images initially then blank.

Unless the source for iViewNapper has been made available, is there any working alternative downloader now that the data format has changed?

The menu still loads, it just doesn't access the individual sections anymore. It is probably just a minor change, but enough to break Napper.

I think that iViewNapper accessed the ABC site to get the list of programs and the URL for where they are stored on their server, and the "Fetch" button simply completed the parameters for RTMPdump to go off and do the work.

Getting source code would really help.

The problem is that there are too many parameters that need to be offered to the program before it can download. I wish I had captured a screen dump of RTMPdump in action after iViewNapper had started it off fetching.

If someone else out there has something, that could help with which parameters to use. It should even be possible to just run RTMPdump from a command line if we knew the parameters to use. The URL can be found on the iView web page by looking in the page source.

I do not know exactly, but there should be a software with which you can record TV stations in all languages ​​worldwide. try this link

Is this what you mean??

Weird. Wonder if what happened was intentional, a beta update that got released too early, or if they never intended to change the data format in the first place.

Or maybe they saw a significant drop in iView usage since a lot of people were suddenly not 'using' it anymore.

...Now would be a good time to sniff Nappers traffic to see how it accesses the data.
