Has SBS changed things to thwart your script?

Seems to be a bit flaky in operation: a friend installed it, but the cmd window disappeared after a short time; tried it again and it reported "You haven't specified a port ..Using default port 1935" and then continued and seemed to work.

As part of retrieving a list of everything, I find what the number of entries are and then retrieve items 1..total number of entries.

10 is the default range - it's possible that it somehow misreported the number of items available.

As for "You haven't specified a port ..Using default port 1935", that would indicate that it's functioning normally - I don't specify a port when using RTMP since there isn't anything to indicate they're using a different port.

sbsOnDemand seems to be working well enough now, at least in grabbing the better quality 1500K versions.

Is there any way to gain access to programs that have disappeared from the list, or does SBS remove them from the website?

I was wondering if someone saved the list from an earlier time, whether it could be used to access programs that are now not available.

I missed out on Carrier Episode 1 (1500K) and a friend only has the quarter sized version.

Shouldn't think so; the rtmp urls include an authentication token that times out. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

sbsOnDemand no longer working for me with the latest py file WinXP: cmd window shows the "waiting" message briefly then closes.

Get the msi & the script dated 20120228a.

I have started a (as yet non-working, GUI skeleton not fully dressed) project for a GUI version of my script; it's available at https://github.com/mvanderkolff/gtk-AUTV-Downloader

Feel free to fork and contribute; I will consider all pull requests, and upon request, add you to the "About" screen, and if I make an AUTHORS file, add you to it

Cheers,

Michael

Below is a link to the sbsNapper beta for SBS OD.

http://users.on.net/~m.elliott/s/sbs...120304beta.zip

There will be problems, it's a beta, so download and extract the zip into a new fresh directory and run from there.

Make sure you discount that any firewall/AV Suites/etc aren't the issue before posting.

Looking good so far.

I would like to thank mvdk for getting the ball rolling and providing the first option to download from SBS on-demand.

Unhandled exception with both 'SOS - La Maison' and 'SOS - Toyland' - "The given key was not present in the dictionary" (KeyNotFoundException).

[Edit: next day]
I did check just an hour or so later, and found that these shows had disappeared from the index - perhaps changes had been made before I quit, then re-loaded the application. That is the only way to 'refresh' the index that it works on.

mvdk: Thanks for the script. Had it working on Win7, now it works well on the Mac, after I resolved a permission problem from rtmpdump install.
