How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

[mce]

Mythbusters Ep 120 has malformed XML.

<description>Adam & Jamie ...</description>

The & is not escaped and that is the problem.

I'll have to add into the parser a workaround for single unescaped &'s.

Is it only me, or is everyone still getting 'Cannot load Ch94' with SBSNapper?

Yep, still getting it.

yeah, until either the mythbusters ep expires and is removed from the channel xml, or mce releases a new version that can parse unescaped &'s sbsnapper will keep choking on the xml

New version of SBSNapper is out. (20110722)

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but here goes anyway.

I am pokepal101/yinge101, the original creator of GetIView, the .NET iView downloader. It dropped out of development around the time when the Whirlpool thread was closed, but I'm restarting light development.

Download (v2.0 Alpha): http://d91ac50d.linkbucks.com
Alternate: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26746878/GetIView2.0.zip
(Requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 or higher)

I think it still works, and I think that it still has an advantage over other iView downloaders: It doesn't need to be updated every time the ABC changes their handshake url thing-a-my-watsits.

If this is in the wrong section, or isn't detailed enough, or something, please let me know and I'll try to rectify it.

Hi! Thanks for this

Just a couple of points...

1. The rtmpdump.exe you are using/distributing uses OpenSSL. This is frowned upon because of the licensing/distribution issues it presents.

2. The current maintainer of rtmpdump will rip your head off and spit down the hole if you do not include a reference to the author. You need to meet licensing requirements by showing where you can download the source code for rtmpdump from as well as where you got it from.

Other than those couple of points, great - another fallback program if something goes nuts at ABC.

(Which reminds me, anyone know when the proposed changes to iView going to show themselves?)

Thanks for the points. For number 1, I don't really know where to get a non-OpenSSL version and for number 2, I've updated the readme to include a link to RTMPDump's website.
