Hey everyone... Just want to ask a quick question.
I had a quick look through this thread but I couldn't see the answer & I really didn't feel like reading through all 50 odd pages.

Anyway I know it's a total noob question so please except my apology now.

I can work the script (which is awesome may I say... Thanks Anywho) & I've used iViewnapper a few times before.

I'm just wondering for the shows that list with *** NO DOWNLOADS *** (trying to get Pohs kitchen for my misses). Is there any way to get these episodes? I know you can watch them from the abc website... I'm just assuming there's no way to get the index's for these shows or something & thus why they come up with *** No Downloads ***

Cheers

Yep, you've assumed right. There's no link to the indexes that provide a program download link for us to work with.

The indexes that do show for the program are only 2-minute introductions, snippets, or a commercial for the show. These just get marked as "*** No Downloads ***" because they're pointless to download. Quite often you'll find that those kinds programs are available only from the ABC Shop directly for buying and downloading.

Thanks for the reply Anywho much appreciated.

I actually found the episodes on a newsgroup so I might just grab them from there. It was just one of those things I know you can play the episodes from off the website & I knew about iveiwnapper.
I just couldn't work out why they wouldn't list in it even though there on the website. And I started thinking there must be a way! hehe

Anyway thanks for the batch file dude... You're obviously far better at writing them then me.

Yes it can get confusing as ABC actually has 3 different Video on Demand systems

1) iView
2) ABC video (the video found embedded in the ABC web pages, is seperate from iView, and as such is metered)
3) ABC store

with ABC video, quite often they have a downloadable version of at least the last episode or 2, however with a little knowledge you can generally get almost any video from ABC as they have a habit of leaving the videos on the server, and it appears that Poh's kitchen is no exception, simply copy this link, change the number in bold to the episode you want to download and hit go and a download dialog will appear *warning I have only checked a few ep numbers including 01
they worked but that is no guarantee all 40 will.

iViewNapper Version 20110318.

* Adds series name to filename.

[Ferret]

For iViewNapperLite 20101218 to add the series name:

Go to line 63: " t2 = episode.b"
and change to " t2 = show.b & " - " & episode.b"

this will add the the series in front with a dash before the episode.
