How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

[Yansky]

Seems to work ok for me:

rtmp://cp53909.edgefcs.net////flash/playback/_definst_/news/fourcorners_100726.mp4,
-a,
ondemand?auth=daEckdhaAaBcHdZbEazdndUa4d1cQacaHaQ-bmuIiv-8-jns_xEypI&aifp=v001,
-o,

That URL if ever "official" is no longer the right one, even though it still works.

http://tviview.abc.net.au/iview/auth/?v2 is the one the official iView .swf uses. It comes from http://www.abc.net.au/iview/xml/config.xml?v=370

Hmm.. Looks like my posts need to be approved by a moderator? Not used to that

Edit: That's weird. This post appears immediately without moderation. The one where I replied said to wait for moderation.

So, risking a double-post here, I said that if you look at http://www.abc.net.au/iview/xml/config.xml?v=370, you will see that the token comes from http://tviview.abc.net.au/iview/auth/?v2, and not any "handshaker" link anymore, even though that still works.

Edit2: There's also different links for getting the series index and show paths, but the old URLs still work. The latest Amiga version uses all the new links. The database format is also slightly different with the new URLs.

Yeah. The new "v2 api" stuff was mentioned by blood.eaglz back on page 2 of this thread

I stayed with the "old" stuff because ABC seem to use it as a backup (perhaps) until ABC are confident of their "v2" bits and remain committed to "v2"

No biggie

Ahh, I transitioned to v2, because you never know when they're gonna disable the old mechanism. I guess they're always updating though, so..

[blood.eaglz]

From what I've gathered they are currently on one weird set up, they are using the new v2 url for getting the actual token, but as it lacks formatting they seem to be using the handshaker via another url http://www.abc.net.au/iView/Services/iViewHandshaker for display puposes (such as the bandwidth checker) rather than trying to parse the v2 string. I could be wrong but that's what I got from a url snoop

Has anone got Yanksy's iViewFox working on Mac OS X 10.5? Last time I checked with Yanksy he only had 10.6 so couldn't help me. I'm getting the following error when trying to save anything:

mycle$ /Users/mycle/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/Profiles/113g9ho0.default/extensions/iViewFox@forboden.com/rtmpdump/b.command ; exit;
dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022

logout
[Process completed]

The dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022 bit seems to indicate that it's dependent on 10.6 from reading issues other people have had with this message but I thought I'd check here just in case someone has it working and can point me in the right direction.

Thanks
Mycle.

Hi Mycle, you'll be pleased to know I recently got access to a mac running 10.5.8, so I'll have a go at compiling a version of rtmpdump that works on that system.

Stay tuned.

Downloads fine for me (Hostworks using 15.70.bat). I'm not sure about Akamai (nobody has mentioned anything - and I can't check).

AFAIK, there are no api2 issues, just F.U.D.
