How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

[johnm]

Nope, still doing it. Guess it is at my end then. Any suggestions?
Like I said, I have reloaded Lite with exactly the same result. Can not think of what might have changed to cause this. What can affect these JSON files?
Thanks

thanks

The rtmpdump program uses port 1935 if memory serves correctly. Sometimes peoples routers have firewalls that block the port.

You might also try the command line script: http://iviewdownloaders.wikia.com/wi...aders_Wiki#Mac

Yes, that's the problem. ABC Australia uses region blocking just like some other streaming video suppliers.

i'm open to other methods but of course if it start download .

You can try using an Australian-based VPN or Australian-based Proxy server. Australian proxy servers are often quite slow. Australian VPN's are OK, but not great.

Simply, SBS allow it. SBS is not ABC - it's as simple as that. Just the same as Australians cannot normally get some US or [insert other country here] services. For example, Hulu needs region bypassing in order to view its services in Australia.

And how to use a proxy with iviewnapper.

Google it.

New version of iViewFox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...wfox/versions/

Lots of changes. I believe I have finally fixed the issues some people were having under Windows. Also, users on OSX no longer have to run code from the Terminal to get the extension to work! woohoo!

Props goes out to the Firebug peeps after I stumbled onto their code: http://code.google.com/p/fbug/source...ug/lib.js#4946

Darn it... Still busted for me.

v1.2.0 was the last one that works for me. This one (and v1.2.2) gets to the "Save To..." dialog, you click "OK" and then the dialog closes. RTMPdump doesn't start (and testing shows it never gets executed).

Sorry

Bummer.

I'm stumped as to why it's not working for some people. The only thing different I guess is that I'm testing under Windows inside a VirtualBox on OSX. But I don't think that would make a difference.

If you can be bothered, could you try a little experiment for me? Open the iv.jsm file in the iviewfox extensions folder in the Firefox profiile directory and change this code around line 343:

let fileCC = Cc["@mozilla.org/file/local;1"].createInstance(Ci.nsILocalFile);	
fileCC.initWithPath(iViewFox.getrtDump);
process.init(fileCC);
process.run(false, args, args.length);

to

let fileCC = Cc["@mozilla.org/file/local;1"].createInstance(Ci.nsILocalFile);	
fileCC.initWithPath("C:\\WINDOWS\\NOTEPAD.EXE");	//assuming that's where it is on your system
process.init(fileCC);
process.run(false, [], 0);

Save the file then restart Firefox. That should then open notepad on windows when you try to watch a show on iView.

I tried the above before and after the little coding mod.

Before:

Got the Save As... box, hit enter but no rtmpdump window.

After:

Got the Save As... box, but notepad didn't appear either.

I ran the firefox Error Console and and got the following error after pressing the Enter key for Save As...

Error: fwindowTypeSplit is not defined
Source File: file:///C:/Users/mypc/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/o1446y93.mypc/extensions/iViewFox@forboden.com/modules/iv.jsm
Line: 267

Question.

With debug turned on, does it go to a file or just the Error Console?
