For the GUI:
Optional dependencies:
Some usage examples are provided for your perusal.
This is a purely informational command. It verifies that handshaking is working correctly, and shows which streaming host is used.
$ ./iview-cli --print-auth
iView auth data:
Streaming Host: Akamai
RTMP Token: [...]
HDS Token: [...]
Server URL: http://iviewmetered-vh.akamaihd.net/z/
Playpath Prefix: playback/_definst_/
Unmetered: False
This can be used to list the iView programmes and find a programme’s file name:
$ ./iview-cli --programme
7.30:
7.30 Episode 193 26/11/2013 (news/730s_Tx_2611.mp4)
7.30 25/11/2013 (news/730s_Tx_2511.mp4)
7.30 20/11/2013 (news/730s_Tx_2011.mp4)
[...]
To actually download the programme, use something like the following:
$ ./iview-cli --download news/730s_Tx_2611.mp4
Hopefully that will download an .flv file into your current directory, appropriately named. Downloaded files always use the FLV container format, despite any “.mp4” suffix in the original name.
Iview now seems to use the HDS protocol for most programmes, although it used to use the RTMP protocol. However, RTMP still seems to be used for the News 24 live stream, and the on-demand programmes still seem to be available from the old RTMP host.
To use RTMP, install rtmpdump. If building from source, copy rtmpdump to somewhere within your $PATH (e.g. /usr/local/bin). The RTMP host may be forced with the “iview-cli --host AkamaiRTMP” option.
Uh...good luck.
There are a few variables that can be edited in the “config.py” file.
