How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

[lameboyadvance]

Here is a link to the latest 32-bit Static version of FFmpeg.
http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win...in32-static.7z

As it is a 7zip (.7z) file you will need to download a program that can open them (such as 7zip ).

Once you have opened/extracted it ffmpeg.exe should be in the 'bin' directory.

OK you need to find the windows release of FFMPEG, the main site is Linux based and expects you to build it yourself. It got the Win 32 bit version by following links from the ffempeg.org site to here:

To lameboyadvance - many thanks and well done for your efforts.
At first I got an error when I hit the DL button, but it turned out that my version of FFMPEG.exe wasn't as fresh as I thought it was .

Perhaps Napper and Ripper can follow a similar process by using FFMPEG instead of RTMPdump.

You mention that you aren't interested in maintaining Iviewer - would you consider sharing the source code so that others can keep the ball rolling?

Until the others get around to fixing their iView rippers, those of you wanting to download shows can try this.

This is something quick I coded up for my own use. I have no plans to maintain it, especially if the others get their programs updated. iViewer will grab and load the XML file of your choice (so far only tried using the 'sony' one listed earlier). I also added the option of downloading the subtitle (if it exists) and converting it to an SRT file (again not guaranteed to actually work).



I made this using VB5 (on XP 32 bit). As such I have no idea how it will handle newer OS, let alone 64 bit. As I have no access to these don't bother asking to fix it if it doesn't work on them. I'm not sure what DLL files will be needed. I included the VB5 runtime DLL, as well as a copy of the Wine version of WININET.DLL. I have no idea if these will work with it as I already have the equivalent DLL files on my PC. You may also need other DLL files I don't know about.

Finally, you will need to download the Windows version (only tried with the 32-bit (stable) version, may work with other/64-bit versions) of FFmpeg from http://www.ffmpeg.org/ and place ffmpeg.exe in the same directory.

Again, I have no intention of maintaining this. Enjoy it while it still works (if it works).

EDIT: Original download was broken when I added SRT support. New download should actually download the right video (hopefully).

Thanks finely got it to work when I copied ffmpeg from the bin to the main folder this process is all a mystery to me but got there in the end I have win7 64 bit

Slightly off topic ... but is there an SBS version of "https://tviview.abc.net.au/iview/feed/sony/?keyword=0-Z" from which one can extract links for individual items? I browsed the SBS thread but didn't see an obvious answer.

All the FTA stations that have a "catch up tv" app on modern tvs should expose their URLs with packet capture software.

I'd like to know all of them.

I know I said I wasn't going to maintain this, but I decided to update iViewer.
iViewer 0.1 now includes the option to show preview images, as well as the ability to download a copy of those images at full size should you wish to collect screenshots along with your videos.
Also included is the ability to resize the window, and settings are now saved to an INI file (which also has a few undocumented settings you may want to fiddle with, such as xml/image download timeouts).
I made the preview images download respective to your screen size. Those on larger resolution screens will find their preview images will be larger in size than those on smaller screens. If the larger images are taking too long to download (which is what apparently seems to be the 'lag' issue with the downloaders - sometimes the preview images download instantly, other times they will take ages) try changing the image timeout/retry settings in the INI file, or just disable image previews altogether.
Finally, it wasnt until I had nearly done this update that I noticed a bug in my old version, I apparently left a bit of debug code in that set the XML file location to the 'sony' one, even if you typed in a different URL. That should hopefully be fixed.
I have also removed WININET.DLL from the archive since it seems to exist on every version of windows. I've still kept MSVBVM50.DLL since I'm unsure how many later versions of windows include a DLL from a version of Visual Basic meant for Windows 95.

I don't think I'll be updating much else now that M3M1E is updating iViewRipper again, but hopefully you'll still find iViewer useful.

EDIT: As with the old version, you'll need to download a Windows version of FFmpeg from http://ffmpeg.org/, extract 'ffmpeg.exe' from the 'bin' directory and place it in the same directory as iViewer.
