How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

[blood.eaglz]

are any of these episodes iview only? eg ep missed on tv but still put up on iview?, or iview exclusive runs of the show? as then there would be no broadcast date.

otherwise likely human error (yesterday I saw an episode of at the movies whose home site link pointed to message stick)

I get this too. It had been fine up till now but I also note I have loaded IE9. Could this be an impact?? iViewNapper works fine.

What are you doing to get this? What show are you trying to get?

So, will iView, SBS Player, etc change in the short-term (3-6 months)?

Over a few months now, I have noticed that SBSNapper downloads quite slowly (and does not resume at all), whereas iViewNapper downloads very much faster.
When I try (something silly) starting iViewNapper when SBSNapper is already downloading, the latter grinds to a halt.

All of which leads up to this interesting conversation on the rtmpdump message thread -

Then you really need to see why the stream is timing out in the first place.
Probably the server doesn't like the large buffersize that rtmpdump uses by default, and you'll need to use a smaller buffer (and thus download more slowly).

Perhaps changing the buffer size in one or other of the 'Nappers would be helpful for more successful downloads?

Of course, I'm neglecting factors like the server load, client connections, etc - but I thought it interesting.

I've updated the Firefox extension (There was a bug making it not work in Firefox 3.6).

Not sure, but if it's HTML5*, then it would likely be H264. See Usage on this WikiPedia page

* Although this article says it isn't HTML5
