How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

[PaleWing]

i just use this link
https://tviview.abc.net.au/iview/feed/sony/?keyword=0-Z
and ctrl-f to search for shows i want. I noticed tonight when i tried to find good game SP & adventure time, that no good games at all show up, catalyst only shows 'catalyst' in the episode name, no four corners, foreign correspondent, heaps of the shows i get. I downloaded adventure time on the morning of the 31st of august (wednesday morning) & there wre no problems

[PaleWing]

ok, i'ev downloaded iviewripper (latest version) & downloaded the latest ffmpeg & am downloading good game SP ep 25

it appears to be working fine. (it runs a lot faster than when i last tried iview ripper)

thanks ^_^

Thanks M3M1E ... any other compliment is superfluous!

New on 'Ripper v2.4.1 is a button called [UPDATE] - which serves as some sort of messaging from M3M1E (author).

What's the purpose of the link to a 32-bit version of ffmpeg? Doesn't 'Ripper install the version it needs to use, in the Programs folder on your/my computer, for its own use?

On my computer, it is a file with date 31/12/2015 8:21PM, ffmpeg version N-77556-g4160900

My understanding is that iviewripper was packaged with the 64bit version only. The new 2.42 beta now has both.

In August 2015 M3M1E, because of changes made by the ABC, put out a new build of iViewRipper. v2.15

More changes:- In November 2015 a new version of iViewRipper. v2.17
More changes:- In July 2016 a new version of iViewRipper. v2.20
More changes:- In August 2016 a new version of iViewRipper. v2.31
More changes:- In September 2016 a new version of iViewRipper. v2.41
M3M1E has done a brilliant job.

It makes sense to me to also keep updating ffmpeg.
After all there have been over 60 new builds of ffmpeg this calendar year.
I'm assuming there have been improvements.

Your choice.

M3M1E has done a brilliant job.

Yes, there are some really nice features that it's possible have gone un-noticed - I have attached an image of the pictures shown in iViewRipper v2.4.2 BETA - which have an active zone in each of the corners:
top L: download the image associated with this show
top R: activates your browser, and goes to the web page at iView for this show
bottom L: the S indicates that sub-titles (captions) are available, and can be downloaded
bottom R: the ? gives "metadata" about the show - size, duration, expiry date, etc

If you care to use the Save Database button, the .DB file can be loaded at some later time. This can be useful to see/save the Description, even after the show has expired. If the show has expired, a warning message pops up indicating that this video may not be available to download (sometimes, it is still about after the expiry date). Of course, the Description and the image are.

However, there are still some glitches (apart from occasional iView mis-naming of show titles, and image-video mis-matching); the awkward one is that ffmpeg stalls fairly often (and I have put recent versions in place). That's most likely out of the control of 'Ripper, though.

If I have time, I may put together a PDF file with images that shows some of these features. I've described just a couple here.

Not to say that I would like a few additional aids - which are fairly easy to code.

Just a heads up...the truncated sony feed now seems to be back to full length.

hey guys, things are good with iviewripper, only have the odd hiccup of it saying unable to download for some reason. But i just now got this error on a show i'd tried last week to download. Create Origami. I downloaded all but 2 episodes ok, Pigeon & Rabbit. They come up with this error when I click on them
Unhandled Exception .... The remote server had returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error
(I think last week it just said unable to download?)
I click continue & can continue using iviewripper no problem.
Using version 2.41, not sure if this has been fixed in 2.42

v2.43 BETA has been available a while - since 3Oct2016. Also, may be worth installing a later .NET version? v4.5 ?

Actually, I have a lot of problems with faulty iView programs (not 'Ripper faults; and mainly News-type). And have found that when I get the type of .NET error you are seeing, I close 'Ripper, and load it again. Try that.
Also, ffmpeg doesn't like to resume (rtmpdump was very tolerant of internet flakiness).
