How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

[lameboyadvance]

How big is 'https://tviview.abc.net.au/iview/feed/sony/?keyword=0-Z'? It is taking me forever to download and keeps failing (download speed is sporadic @ about 130bytes/sec).

approx 1.92MB.

maybe try a different browser. for reference I use Firefox.

Tried the link .. got 32K .. and then nothing. Waited 30mins. Looking in what did come down ... no sign of program names.

Sorry guys not a programmer but desperate like the rest since the change.
I noted when trying
https://tviview.abc.net.au/iview/feed/sony/?keyword=0-Z
1st time I tried the page seemed to stay blank. I then turned on java and tried again and the page loaded up. Saved to notepad, 1.81MB.
I then tried again with java off (cleared cache first) downloaded OK multiple times, same size. Java a furfy.
Following blood.eaglz post #1128, ffmpeg bombed out with some message HTTP error 404 not found
'a' not recognised as an internal or external command.
I was trying tonights 4corners. Used
ffmpeg -i https://abcsecurehttp-a.akamaihd.net...2eb4112ecbe496 -c copy -y fourcorners-The_merchants_of_debt.mp4
Out of curiosity I tried just the url
https://abcsecurehttp-a.akamaihd.net...2eb4112ecbe496
in my browser (firefox) and a file save window appeared. I saved the file, downloaded at 1MB/s, just a few minutes. It was a perfectly playable 215 MB mp4.
Tried the same with Injustice_01_05. Also OK. 210MB.
Both of these did not download with iViewNapper_20140222
Is this usable or is there an unaceptable resolution?
I tried a few other recent programs and it appeared to work.
Can someone else try this method?
Good Luck.

You can try adownloader 17.3. It catches the mp4 and the hls ios's

I keep the manifest in Firefox and use the Find command (Ctl-F) to locate my favourite shows.
Then I use the right click 'Save Link as' command on the URL.
The files are already in mp4 format (checked using MediaInfo) so don't need any further processing.

Can anyone else who has successfully tried this confirm that java is needed? I don't have java installed and repeated attempts just give me variations of the following:

"XML Parsing Error: unclosed CDATA section
Location: https://tviview.abc.net.au/iview/feed/sony/?keyword=0-Z
Line Number 31468, Column 146: <assetUrl bitrate="650"><![CDATA[https://abcsecurehttp-a.akamaihd.net...9a3b664317b71a
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"

And that's *ALL* after 5-10mins and the page being "fully loaded" according to FF. Tried IE .. same result.

Installed an old copy of the safari browser I had archived .. and retrieved the file like a charm. Evidently something in my FF setup is blocking the page.
