blood.eaglez - Can you explain how you discovered these changes? (PM if preferred)

blood.eaglz · #**182** 10-13-2010, 07:39 AM

initial urls through URLsnooper 2 (though got the new auth for iview through their config XML)
then I just followed what the links and subsequent xml files gave me, with a little of trial and error along the way.

Similar to Fiddler, I presume?

had to google it, but in principle it seems similar, would have to compare to see if same results.

EDIT: gave it a crack and yes you'd be able to use fiddler, though unlike urlsnooper it doesn't capture rtmp addresses, which isn't really important for this, but does come in handy at times to debug the downloaders.

also I don't really like the interface, but that's probably due to me being used to urlsnoooper.

I had the same reaction with URL Snooper (had to look it up) - watched the video, and copied it out of my cache, but I'll have to convert swf to flv or something else. Seems easy to use, with the filters, so it will be useful.

SBS

The batch and GUI downloaders can't handle one show "Can GM Food Save The World? Full Ep". It plays OK on the SBSPlayer.

Maybe it's the ?

The shows.xml first line, for Channel 94, is:

[1][24832][Can GM Food Save The World? Full Ep][DOC_FE_Can_GM_Food_Save_The_57_324832]

Otherwise, both SBS downloaders are working OK.

No, SBS is OK - bar the usual typos, repeats, delayed mounts, etc.

I'm amazed that some episodes are completely mis-named as another in the series.

It would be nice if ABC and SBS cooperated with the more systematic approach of iView - though they (ABC) are not immune to the occasional typo or stuff-up.

mce - another SBS download problem (current), which you might look at when reviewing the code (though SBS isn't broken in the way iView is for the downloaders).

Made In Spain With Jose Andres Ep 11 *** unhandled exception ***

hm, I had thought sbs had broken the downloaders as well as I couldn't retrieve the catalog, however it looks like they might have just had some server troubles.
