How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

[PaleWing]

Hi ^_^
I have been having problems downloading The Fog Of War with iviewnapper 20130301. It's not showing the thumbnail & when I try to fetch, it says 'unhandled exception.
This also happened with Capturing The Friedmans, but seemed to fix itself.
this is all that shows in the 'summary' box
http://tviview.abc.net.au/iview/api2/?series=3328908

when i try to fetch, it comes up "unhandled exception..." "no default member found for type 'integer'"

this is part of the details
************** Exception Text **************
System.MissingMemberException: No default member found for type 'Integer'.

Hi folks,

I was looking at adding a plugin for playing these streams on an enigma2 receiver and I was using the XBMC add-on as a base.

The stream does not play however so I'm wondering if the rtmp stream format has changed since the development of the XBMC add-on.

This is a generated rtmp url that is currently produced but not playing:

rtmp://cp44823.edgefcs.net/ondemand?auth=daEbdcwcEbAdCcvcfbrczdoa9b8aVa4a3bf-brsJd8-8-mmn_rFxqN&aifp=v001 playpath=mp4:flash/playback/_definst_/fatherted_03_06 swfurl=http://www.abc.net.au/iview/images/iview.jpg swfvfy=true:Father Ted Series 3 Episode 6 Kicking Bishop Brennan Up The Arse

Anyone know if this is a valid url?

Thanks in advance,
mcquaim

These are the command lines generated by the iView_Downloader batch file:

bin\rtmpdump.exe --resume  -r "rtmp://cp53909.edgefcs.net///flash/playback/_definst_/mp4:fatherted_03_06" -a ondemand?auth="3B5BA007C9055F4CF42B" -o "Father Ted Series 3 - Father Ted Series 3 Episode 6 Kicking Bishop Brennan Up The Arse.mp4" -W http://www.abc.net.au/iview/images/iview.jpg

bin\rtmpdump.exe --resume  -r rtmp://203.18.195.10/ -a ondemand?auth=3B5BA007C9055F4CF42B -y mp4:fatherted_03_06 -o "Father Ted Series 3 - Father Ted Series 3 Episode 6 Kicking Bishop Brennan Up The Arse.mp4" -W http://www.abc.net.au/iview/images/iview.jpg

This downloads fine for Hostworks. I don't know about Akamai (I'm not on an Akamai served ISP).

PS: Don't try the above command lines now as the "auth" token will have expired by the time you read this

[mcquaim]

Perhaps that might be my issue, the format of the url looks different depending on the host..

I will try changing it slightly to see if this is the issue, thanks for the help

This is from iViewNapper-ish:

rtmpdump.exe -r rtmp://203.18.195.10/ondemand?auth="9309372648834D142E4B" -y "mp4:fatherted_03_06" -o "Father Ted Series 3 Episode 6 Kicking Bishop Brennan Up The Arse.mp4" -W "http://www.abc.net.au/iview/images/iview.jpg"

Hostworks (not Akamai), and of course the auth varies always.

Hi,
I have been using the latest iviewnapper, but it is not working. It is returning empty files.

Thanks

Make sure you delete the empty (0 byte) files before trying again, otherwise RTMPdump will keep doing it.

Also, what were the names of the files you wanted to D/L?

[bigdotman]

Thanks for that I will delete the zero files before trying again.
The files themselves vary for example Elements series, MasterCl;ass with Jamie Cullum, as well as others.

Just for possible other troubleshooting info, in case it's a host specific problem...

• Which ISP are you using?
• Is your connection to your ISP good? (eg: you don't have frequent dropouts, slow D/L's, etc.)
• Can you watch the programs via the iView site?

I'm now getting unpopulated (blank) buttons for my "genre" groups, but can still fetch the Series and download the Episodes.
It's a little awkward, of course.
Some tweaking of iView categories, etc must have occurred this afternoon.

[EDIT]
Well, I just checked the categories.xml file, re-loaded the downloader and presto! It is back to normal. Weird ...
