Hello All, I have been told that I appear briefly in Bespoke on ABC TV, in particular seen on last Sunday the 19th. I have gone to the ABC TV website and gone for iView, or via the program guide, and tried to watch, only to have it stall complaining about flash being required. This is with ESR Firefox on 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.86-1 i686 GNU/Linux/Wheezy. I know some others do manage to use iView running Linux, comments about how appreciated, as would be someone grabbing and saving as a less unfriendly format, the latter even more appreciated. I will also look for a way to let the appropriate people at the ABC know that flash is inappropriate for many reasons, particularly the security vulnerabilities. Regards, Mark Trickett

If you use Google-Chrome (NOT Chromium) then Flash just works. I didn't test the iView web site because it requires signing in, but I expect it will work. Wheezy is going out of support and for desktop installations it's well past the time when it was suitable for use. If you are going to use Flash etc then you really need to keep your system up to date.

I want to step up, but with a 4 gig a month quota and each extra gig or part thereof at $10, it will be expensive. This is with Telstra, and none of them will take into account that I rarely go over .6 of a gig. They are all bloodsuckers. This is why those in this bind would appreciate assistance getting a DVD or three now and then from those with enough of a quota, and who are getting it anyway.

But requiring the use of flash forces them to make their system vulnerable. Some people complain about NoScript, and yes it can get in the way, but then there are ways of enriching the interactive user experience without such vulnerabilities. I want to "educate" the marketing monkeys, it will be uncomfortable so that there is reason to not forget the lesson. Regards, Mark Trickett

Are you able to attend a Beginners' SIG meeting? If so bring your PC and update it there. There is good wifi access at the venue and for a once every 2 years thing this is an acceptable use of it IMHO.

Here: 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.68-1+deb7u2 i686 GNU/Linux & Mozilla Iceweasel 38.4.0 Having also experienced access problems in the past, I've just tried iView via the "Video" link at the bottom of the ABC news page. It works fine after I let it arc up flash. (Well, the video doesn't keep up, but that's due to my inadequate graphics grunt. I've had a nifty little Udoo X86, which can drive 3 x 4K screens, on order for half a year now, and it's finally supposed to ship in a few weeks - if one can trust a kickstarter offering. Fingers crossed.)
I will also look for a way to let the appropriate people at the ABC know that flash is inappropriate for many reasons, particularly the security vulnerabilities.
Good luck. That's a service to humanity. Erik

Hi, Forget iView with flash. youtube-dl works fine. I wrap it up using tor proxy over socks5 as well, no problem: #!/bin/bash for linkx in \ 'http://iview.abc.net.au/programs/bespoke/AC1408T001S00#' \ 'http://iview.abc.net.au/programs/bespoke/AC1408T002S00#' \ 'http://iview.abc.net.au/programs/bespoke/AC1408T003S00#' do youtube-dl --proxy socks5://127.0.0.1:9150 -v $linkx done So far, I've only gotten about a third of the first episode....

I would definitely download directly from the github releases... perhaps the problem is the lack of the "#" as the end of the link as well. But definitely get a newer version, it changes often. https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/releases You may find the attached shell script useful.

You don't have to use Tor, but it just adds some anonymity to the connection; fwiw... a straight http download should be fine, especially since it isn't blocked coming from the Tor network. You know, the abc is OUR public broadcaster, why they should charge us anything for content is beyond me. The hassles of iView is best left to a catchup TV box, but the content is, ours.... or at least it should be as citizens of this country. I accept that LNP likes to rip out funds from the public broadcaster and they falsely accuse them of being left wing. Of course there is more to all of this, but I'm not going to entertain any arguments for or against extra user pays that are required to get the other downloads from the abc. The reason those other two episodes couldn't be download is because they become "pay for" programs. The abc is FAR TOO COMMERCIAL for my liking, it should never be that way. Cheers AndrewM

Still not working for me when I omit the tor and socs bits, and only use one URL.
You know, the abc is OUR public broadcaster, why they should charge us anything for content is beyond me. The hassles of iView is best left to a catchup TV box, but the content is, ours.... or at least it should be as citizens of this country. I accept that LNP likes to rip out funds from the public broadcaster and they falsely accuse them of being left wing. Of course there is more to all of this, but I'm not going to entertain any arguments for or against extra user pays that are required to get the other downloads from the abc.
The coalition make Labour look competent, and there is a failure to comprehend that it takes money to sustain the community and associated resources that the businesses depend on.
The reason those other two episodes couldn't be download is because they become "pay for" programs. The abc is FAR TOO COMMERCIAL for my liking, it should never be that way.
Also trying to download before being shown. I think they are all repeats that I missed first time round. If you do have the first episode, any chance I could get from you?

It should work if the download is still available.

Yes. No argument there, but it is Labor fwiw, not Labour as you would expect from a member of the empire. ;-)

So, chances are the next two episodes will end up on iView and become available for download .... hope so, it looks like an interesting show. Cheers A.
