Great mce thanks

I have done some light testing on the other nappers and so far they are working perfectly with rtmpdump-win32-2.3r557.exe

edit: testing done so far

Yeah thanks for that one. The command prompt would squeeze its cheeks at that one... I'll have a go at it tonight if I get some more time. Latest would be tomorrow arvo.

Looks like they've made further changes to the names in the XML - they've now stripped out the series names completely.

Yeah I've seen that. Thankfully it's not to hard to fix in the Linux & OSX script downloaders. I've already got a fix, but I'm also working on some other updates so it will be a few hours more before I upload an updated script.

Edit: Interestingly it also appears that none of the series indexes are gzipped anymore either.

Should be fixed now in v15.83 here. The minimal version (with no required support files) you can find here.

haven't used SBSnapper for quite some time so didn't realise it too has the focus lock, so if you manage to to find a fix, please also apply it to SBSnapper

*also have posted a guess as to why SBS new videos have the audio spike in the SBSnapper whirlpool thread

Some more updates to the Linux & OSX command line downloaders:
- Files are now saved with the actual episode name instead of the rather meaningless server name.
- Fix for the new JSON format (Series names being moved).
- Completed files are removed from the download list.

Linux v7.0
OSX v7.0

The OSX one is untested since I don't have a Mac handy but the Linux one works for me on Fedora 14.

Updated iView Downloader batch file to v15.84. Full version here, minimal (batch file only) version here.

Also updated GetSRT as well.

"Adds series name to filename."

I've made another firefox extension to make it easier to extract the mp4 video from the flv files.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...lvuncontainer/

It basically is just a front end for the "ffmpeg -i filename -vcodec copy -acodec copy newfilename" command.

Lemme know how it goes. I don't have a windows machine atm, so if anyone could confirm that it works ok on windows, that'd be great.

Note: it only works on Firefox 4.
