How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

[trojan]

iViewFox 1.2.7 did fix the problems I was having.... but 1.2.8 is broken again for me.
It does not download anything and does not have the icon at the bottom of the firefox window....

w7/64
FF 3.6.15
Hostworks.

Cheers.

With iViewNapperLite (20110320) I get the following error:
"Script error
Line:39
Char:3
Error: Object doesn't support this properly or method
Code: 0
URL: file:.../ivnlite.vbs
Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?"

Any ideas folks? Files are standard as extracted from zip file. Thanks.

I can't seem to replicate your issue. If you're not seeing the icon, then I don't think the bug is in the hostin code. It's more likely in the very first bit of code that loads the extension.

Could you do me a favour? Could you install 1.2.8 again and then copy and paste in this thread any error messages that appear in the error console?

(You can open the error console from the Firefox tools menu).

thanks for the quick response.
It seems after I removed it completely then readded 1.2.8 it behaved itself.
Cheers

Bugger, I spoke too soon. I have worked out how to replicate the original 1.2.8 problem. If I only have one window open iViewFox works fine but if I open something else in the first and iView in a 2nd window, the icon does not appear in the status bar and iview just plays normally and nothing is written to the error console.

Cheers.

Hi am new here and I am having some Problems with IViewFox.

1st When I download and says Complete where I put the File, There is No Video File to watch. Why does it do this

2nd Now I can't download anything with it as after the Dos Box gets Connected it just Exit's?

Please Help and I am using the most up to date Version

This might happen if there is actually no video file on ABC's host server (Akamai or Hostworks) to download or view.

2nd Now I can't download anything with it as after the Dos Box gets Connected it just Exit's?

As above and make sure there is not a file that is zero bytes in length with the name of the video you are trying to download. If a zero-byte file is there, then delete it and try again.

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.

Hi Vipher,
Just coming out from lurk to thank you for all your work. We don't log on at every upgrade you do, but we certainly value them.
We'd be stuck without downloading ABC because of very old slow hardware.

There is a Video to Watch. There is no File in the Folder at all

Which version of iViewFox are you using... v1.2.6, v1.2.7, or v1.2.8?

Which version of FireFox?

What OS... Windows? (you did mention the DOS box opening)

What ISP are you with, or if you know, which server host is ABC using to deliver the video to you? It's usually Hostworks if un-metered from your ISP, otherwise it's likely to be Akamai.

Hopefully that'll give enough info for Yansky when he drops by this thread
