When attempting retrieval of some articles (not all), we get a stack trace.

//TODO Download Button 7 0 Exception in thread Thread-3: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python34\lib\threading.py", line 920, in _bootstrap_inner self.run() File "C:\sbsnapper\iview\iview\fetch.py", line 259, in run abort=self.abort, _self.kw) File "C:\sbsnapper\iview\iview\fetch.py", line 284, in hds_open_file return hds.fetch(_pos, dest_file=dest_file, _kw) File "C:\sbsnapper\iview\iview\hds.py", line 46, in fetch manifest = get_manifest(url, session) <=== This line File "C:\sbsnapper\iview\iview\hds.py", line 530, in get_manifest with http_get(session, url, ("video/f4m",)) as response: File "C:\sbsnapper\iview\iview\utils.py", line 228, in http_get response = session.open(req) File "C:\Python34\lib\urllib\request.py", line 469, in open response = meth(req, response) File "C:\Python34\lib\urllib\request.py", line 579, in http_response 'http', request, response, code, msg, hdrs) File "C:\Python34\lib\urllib\request.py", line 507, in error return self._call_chain(_args) File "C:\Python34\lib\urllib\request.py", line 441, in _call_chain result = func(*args) File "C:\Python34\lib\urllib\request.py", line 587, in http_error_default raise HTTPError(req.full_url, code, msg, hdrs, fp) urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found

I printed out the url associated with that line, and got http://iviewmetered-vh.akamaihd.net/z/playback/_definst_/news/7PMs_Tx_1304.mp4/m anifest.f4m?hdcore=&hdnea=st=1428964875~exp=1428974874~acl=/*~hmac=53154135b93ab ed72fac1564eaaefc7856e1d2c7e232ddcbd69971de83cae289

Which upon retrieval indeed gave a 404.

I was looking through upstream's patches, but one that touched that area only seems to be making it cleaner, not fixing this issue.

When going through the iview interface with chrome logging, I noticed that it retrieved chunks like this: http://iviewmetered-vh.akamaihd.net/z/playback/_definst_/_video/news_7PMs_Tx_1304_,650000,494000,205000,40772,.mp4.csmil/0_e68d223eb3b2d7e4_Seg1-Frag61?pvtoken=exp%3D9999999999%7Eacl%3D%252f%252a%7Edata%3DZXhwPTE0MjkwNTIzMjN+YWNsPSUyZip+ZGF0YT1wdmMsc35obWFjPTk5YjA1NmRkZWVjYjM4ZjUzNjIyMTYwNDU0MTc2Y2U0NjhlYmQwMDBjYmQ0ZjI2MTVkOTZlMzllMTJkMTM0ZmY%3D%21JcOmp/+8TJ9xOWqc00wwHa8eNHAGGmEDqJlXNJ44PWc%3D%7Ehmac%3D910AF874BD71EA35F4D10619EDB28DE653DDB14A3CAEA27BF5658E51BC506098&hdntl=exp=1429052323~acl=%2f*~data=hdntl~hmac=dbd7c0301511b145d1a4898b7d255ffd2a8c8300e2590e29e1bc9e1d2eab23c3&hdcore=true&als=299.09,300,17.17,3,755,9211,24.96,0,0,79,f,62.91,1802.57,f,full,WYFVQNGHYYNN,2.11.3,79&hdcore=2.11.3

Don't know significance, but hey....

This is semi fixed for iview-ng.py. It doesn't work on shows with only one episode though. I will get around to patching iview-tk.py. Once the parent repo for python iview fixes the 'shows with one episode' issue I will should be able to patch it to my repo as well.

Well, not quite: I tried to download Poldark using it:

C:\sbsnapper\python-iview-master>iview-ng.py iView $ find ounter iView $ help

            Basic Usage:
                    #Find a show by searching with the find command
                    iView $ find <name of show>
                    #The epesodes for a show can be listed using eps and the

number in the []'s from the output of the last find command iView $ eps 0

Inside the second []'s is the rating (G, PG, M, etc.) i

f there is one

Get the show using get and the number in the []'s from

the output of the last eps command iView $ get 1 Basic Usage Example: iView $ find 7 [0] 7.30 9 eps [1] That '70s Show 10 eps iView $ eps 0 7.30: [0] [None] 7.30 12/12/2014 [1] [None] 7.30 11/12/2014 [2] [None] 7.30 10/12/2014 [3] [None] 7.30 9/12/2014 --- extra entries have been removed --- iView $ get 1

This appears to work perfectly with the present HEAD. I'm guessing that something in 8cf72ecd6b13d34fb61fef9abbe71513c8dbcba5 fixes it.
