How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

[spin35]

I've just run RTMPdump in a CMD window, the RTMPDump response is:
RTMPDump v2.3 (r557)

ERROR: rtmp server sent error

Here's my response from TPG:

I see these are different and maybe need to be substituted in place of:

rtmp://cp53909.edgefcs.net////flash/playback/_definst_/

somehow, maybe, in server calls

[Edit]

Or specifically
iviewmetered-vh.akamaihd.net
Instead of
cp53909.edgefcs.net

I don't know if the /z/ comes into play.

This CP number may be a clue ????
At Present I can compare Napper to Watching Iview

[spin35]

I wonder if this recent change is related to the announcement that Iview is introducing "Links to Buy" for items that are outside the normal availability window. http://iview.abc.net.au/support/announcements

[Blaxland.john]

It Askes For http://iview.abc.net.au/auth/flash?1428927267685

As a side note, I can use Internet Download Manager to download the stream - even though it looks like I am getting a flv file, it's actually a mp4.

Here are the IDM download properties of The Checkout S03E01:

h t t p : //iviewmetered-vh.akamaihd.net/z/playback/_definst_/_video/checkout_03_01_,650000,495000,205000,40346,.mp4.cs mil/0_e68d223eb3b2d7e4_Seg%ld-Frag%ld?pvtoken=exp%3D9999999999%7Eacl%3D%252f%252 a%7Edata%3DZXhwPTE0MjkxMTY4NDB+YWNsPSUyZip+ZGF0YT1 wdmMsc35obWFjPWNhZDJmOThmYTZjZmE3Nzc3NDZmMTVhMmI2N jczMDE0MzdkNGI5ZGY4NGQ4Y2M2NDJhNjdkYjlkOWM3MTIzNmE %3D%21JcOmp/+8TJ9xOWqc00wwHa8eNHAGGmEDqJlXNJ44PWc%3D%7Ehmac%3D 4BD8B41989954BD0C7466F35E3B7A70C1622905DA9F8E46045 BF47292E9817F9&hdntl=exp=1429116840~acl=%2f*~data= hdntl~hmac=247cc7eb882881cc4928fdf88f7a7cdab0be3f9 ce8d3d76e3bc22167aa2db507&hdcore=2.11.3


And here is the batch file that iviewnapper generates, but fails to get anything:

rtmpdump-win32-2.3r557.exe -r rtmp://cp53909.edgefcs.net////flash/playback/_definst_/checkout_03_01.mp4 -t rtmp://cp53909.edgefcs.net/ondemand?auth="daEdjaEbEcWamd.aRbKbvbId8bQbnckakce-bvltQ.-8-skl_rGznH&aifp=v001" -o "The Checkout Series 3 Episode 1.mp4" -W "http://www.abc.net.au/iview/images/iview.jpg"


Is it a possibility that the newer files are now being supplied by iviewmetered-vh.akamaihd.net ?


I hope this helps

Cheers, DMan

dman, how do you use Internet Download Manager to get an iView show?
I assume you need to go to the iView player, and that it can capture the show as it begins to play - not forcing you to wait while the 30 minutes or so is shown?
