  If you want to scrape all episodes while they're available using youtube-dl:
  for url in $(curl -s https://iview.abc.net.au/show/bluey | grep -oP 'http[^"]*(?=\\",\\"_entity\\":\\"video)'); do youtube-dl -o '%(series)s - %(title)s.mp4 ${url}; done

    Above is missing a single quote after .mp4. Fixed:

    for url in $(curl -s https://iview.abc.net.au/show/bluey | grep -oP 'http[^"]*(?=\\",\\"_entity\\":\\"video)'); do youtube-dl -o '%(series)s - %(title)s.mp4' ${url}; done

        I ran/tested it on a ubuntu linux bash shell. You'll need to install youtube-dl which is cli software for scraping videos off youtube etc (works with iview too)
        It's a for loop that uses 'curl' to pull the list of bluey episode urls from the iview show page, and using 'youtube-dl' software, saves a local copy of each one.

        You can install youtube-dl via pip package manager:
        sudo pip3 install youtube-dl

        curl should come as standard software.

        command below should return list of urls:
        curl -s https://iview.abc.net.au/show/bluey | grep -oP 'http[^"]*(?=\",\"_entity\":\"video)'

        https://iview.abc.net.au/show/bluey/series/0/video/CH2003Q02…
        https://iview.abc.net.au/show/bluey/series/0/video/CH2003Q02…
        etc

        command below runs youtube-dl on every member of the url list collected above which saves the video locally as an mp4
        youtube-dl -o '%(series)s - %(title)s.mp4' ${url}

        The one-line is just putting it together in a for loop. Whatever terminal/shell you're using you'll have to look up the for loop syntax.

          @bluey321: highly recommend using yt-dlp (https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/) instead of youtube-dl because youtube-dl hasn't been updated in yonks

          @bluey321: On Mac OS here, I've managed to get YouTube-dl installed using the home-brew package installer but am now stuck trying to get the command to execute in Terminal with the one liner option..

          I've narrowed it down to something about the "grep" command:

          grep: invalid option — P
          usage: grep [-abcdDEFGHhIiJLlMmnOopqRSsUVvwXxZz] [-A num] [-B num] [-C[num]]
          [-e pattern] [-f file] [—binary-files=value] [—color=when]
          [—context[=num]] [—directories=action] [—label] [—line-buffered]
          [—null] [pattern] [file …]

          That's the error which comes up. Any suggestions?

            @jace88: -P is for perl regexp patterns. This is what is used to process the webpage for all the video URLs.
            According to a quick google apparently the version of grep that ships with MacOS doesn't include this flag.
            You can install grep from homebrew below command which might fix it:
            brew install grep

            However based on theg00s3's post above you may have more luck with yt-dlp. I haven't tested it but apparently it does all the magic of my one-liner for you and something like below may work:
            yt-dlp https://iview.abc.net.au/show/bluey

      Is there an equivalent way of doing this in Windows using youtube-dl.exe?

  ABC Kids iView app lists all the episodes at once rather than the stupid side scrolling on the iView desktop or partial load on the regular iView app.

  Omelette expires 6:15pm 3/1/22
  Pass the parcel expires 7:56am 3/1/22 (prob one of the best episodes - watch it before it disappears!)

  Are these episodes the censored ones?

    shadowfax1007 on 02/01/2022 - 00:37

    Just answered my own question - yup! they are censored.

      Are you referring to changing “ooga booga” in two episodes and sneezing being changed to burping in one episode?

        Wow! I had no idea that censorship was so pervasive… truly scary manipulation of the hivemind at work.

        Not respecting a creator’s right to self-expression might seem innocuous, but to me that is a red line. Where does it stop…

  I use Allavsoft to download stuff from and watch it later - minus the ads. When downloading web video files, the software automatically detects advertisements and does not download them.
