I reported the post regarding advertising a few hours back.
Everyone should report posts that contain adverts, or are not in English.
The more members who report the better.
Use the red triangle that's to the top right of every post.
Be polite, please.

I reported this about 2 months ago, twice (politely) but had no response.

iViewRipper v2.31 (and v2.2 is the same) isn't getting much of the catalog - 496 shows (usually it is in the 2,000+ range - can't recall offhand).

So, the iView downloader is effectively broken. The latest version is very slow to load data (catalog) but is no more effective than the July version, v2.2

I haven't tried IDM or other downloaders - does anyone here have suggestions?

And I reported advertising to the admin today
IDM works well in the ABC iview site just remember to place a program name in the idm program name other wise your get a generic name "never miss a program "it will of course be a flash file convert it to mp4 using the converter the I placed in the SBS iviewer some time ago

I'm not sure how one goes about this.
Does anyone have an opinion (ha. ha.) on continuing this thread over at https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/
Make a last post with a link to the new thread.
Then ask the stream-recorder moderators to lock this thread.

'SBS Downloader Help - Part 2' there.
A number of members search Whirlpool looking for the iView thread.
A lack of response to amount of advertising creeping in.

I believe 'mte' has been through this procedure, or something like it, and may offer
good advice.

Just a thought.
Cheers

This discussion originally started on whirlpool, but the threads were terminated after the ABC enabled RTMPE encryption, and we changed to rtmpdump with decryption, since we were then bypassing protection rather than capturing the stream, they got the threads removed (parts 2+, part 1 is still archived as we were using straight stream capturing at that time).

As we haven't managed to get pass sbs protection yet, and as such are only getting stuff they haven't bothered protecting, they haven't targeted the whirlpool threads. the instant we manage it, they'll be taken down as well.

Thanks blood.eaglz.
Does anybody have a spare Apache server in their back room?

Yes, it looks good.

But I've had the ffmpeg child processes stall a lot, and it's a several-step operation in Task Manager to kill 'Ripper and ffmpeg, and necessary to close down iViewRipper once that is done.
I have more than a dozen .TS files as remnants, some shows seem to have failed more than once.
Has anyone had this experience too?

I won't be a big help.
I mainly use iView as 'Catch Up' for something I missed; as intended.
SBS is slightly different.. I'm often too slow to realize what I'm missing.

If you haven't already done so...
Try the latest 32 bit build of ffmpeg.exe and see if that helps.
