How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

I'll have a look.

Seems there is now (?) a series index "c" that is a description, which is used when the series index "f:d" is empty.

[Edit 2]

Version 20110616.

Fix missing episode descriptions.

[Ferret]

For iViewNapperLite users, if you want the bottom description field filled in
Open ivnlite.vbs with notepad
search for

ds = episode.d

add

If len(ds) < 1 Then ds = show.c

below the found line and save

Yes, I did the same. It's a moving target.

New here, hope I am doing the right thing!

Just downloaded iViewNapper 20110616 but get an unhandled error message when I run it.
Here is what it tells me:
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.


I run Win XP.

Any suggestions?

Within the iViewNapper program, I don't think mce (who wrote the program) checked for the version of the .NET Framework that is installed on your system; it must be v3.5 and I think the version you have installed is v2.0

But it is stipulated on his website as being an essential prerequisite - there is a link there, to download and install it (or, Windows Update will prompt you, if you visit that Microsoft website or use the Internet Explorer menus to go to it).

From mce's website -

Get dotNetFx35.exe and install, if you don't already have it.
Look for the Full Redistributable Package. (Windows 7 already has this installed)

Hi, Thank you for the reply.
I have checked and I have .Net 3.5 SP1 installed. But also 1.1, 2 & 3.0.
I'll try uninstalling the older versions to see if that helps.

Shouldn't be any need to uninstall the older versions unless you feel they might be incomplete or corrupted.

Which ISP are you with? I think that crash log would happen if iViewNapper cannot get access to the authentication file (AFAIK, that's the only thing left that actually uses XML in iView).

You're in Australia?

Can you view videos on the ABC iView website?

Can you get this file with your web browser?

http://tviview.abc.net.au/iview/auth/?v2

If you want to, cut and paste the contents here but cross out your IP address like this <IP>x.x.x.x<\IP> first.

So far the advice above is good, but do check if firewall or security software is blocking it.

Also this will not run through a proxy server.

Tried a few things but still the same error message.

A few answers:
I am in Australia and my ISP is iiNet.
When I click the link I get:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx iiNet ip range from isp Hostworks rtmp://203.18.195.10/ondemand rtmp://203.18.195.10/live 95821BC1B1368224398D iiNet and Westnet customers.]]> yes

SBSnapper works fine.

Tried running iViewnapper from my Win7 laptop, same problem.

The older version of iViewnapper worked fine until recently which is why I upgraded to the latest version.
Problems I had with version 20101218 is that it would fetch the program listing but then hang when I tried to go further.

Tried uninstall and re-install the full version of .Net 3.5

Bit stumped.....

I'll ask again...
Can you view videos on the ABC iView website from your web-browser? For example, can you view this 10 minute video?

And add I'll some more...
What version of XP are you using... 32 or 64bit?
Which Service Pack number?
