How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

[Yansky]

Another weird anomaly is that the PowerPC version I compiled gives 0 false-positives: https://www.virustotal.com/file/9469...is/1339495602/

Here are my binaries if you or mce are curious: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2067588/iVi...mpBinaries.rar

There's 13 days before the latest Q&A expires.

I'm a little scant on time for this stuff ATM, but I might have it fixed in the next day or two (hopefully)

No problem. I was able to download it with IViewNapper. I had a look at the code but my batch coding skills are somewhat lacking..

It looks like a new version of IViewNapper was released not that long ago to address this problem..

Version 20120514.
Fix for wrong concatenation symbol.

Thanks!

I'm a bit concerned that your rtmpdump.exe is showing at least 4 hits on the virus-total scan. It shows 2 when packed, and 4 when unpacked! Mind you, neither of these trip my VS (MSE).

Maybe you have/had a rogue in your dev-environment?

That fix above was because in VB.NET one should use & to concatenate strings, but sometimes the old habit of using + creeps in and can cause errors.

The actual fix was probably one where "Fix incorrect characters in filename" as spaces and & (and more) can cause problems. I convert '&' to 'and' in output filenames and wrap it in quotes.

I did reply to this earlier yesterday, but my post is being "moderated" (very slowly too) for some reason.

I fixed it inside the json parsers anyway... That way the iView devs don't get to see how to circumvent it. I'll eventually do it for all the other cases too... It's one of those "round 2 its"

The link to download it from is in the Wikia (see first post of this thread).

The iView catalog currently has only 109 series listed. Is this a transition to something different - or just a maintenance update using the same data organisation?
(the latter, I think)

similar here but i get up to 159 series, both the bat and napper stop at trouble in amish paradise, so stuck in the Ts when the show i'm after is in the Vs.

Yeah, seems to be a problem at ABC. Even on their website it stops at the T's. (snigger)

Sometime yesterday someone caught up with the backlog; now I see 241 Series so back to 'normal'. Perhaps they can also re-train or discipline the ppl who do the uploads - judging by 5 weeks of duplicated listings in the RSS feeds, and quite a few stuff-ups and double uploads of shows at iView, the volume of work is getting on top of someone.
