AUTOMATING TTN ISIS DOWNLOADS

M

Guest
Hi all - anyone found a way to automatically download content from Total Traffic's ISIS page? We're downloading sportscasts from ISIS but would like to stop downloading them manually. Thanks in advance for your tips and suggestions! -MB
 
Files are MP3 and always have the same name (so it would be overwriting previous files which is fine).

It's not going into an automation system but instead into the same file folder (accessible via UNC or drive letter).

Here's the manual steps to download the cuts.
1. Log into ISIS
2. Click an icon (it looks like a CD) on the main page
3. A list of available files pops up. The user then right-clicks to download the file.

The first and third steps are easy to automate. It's the clicking of the icon that's a challenge.
 
Where does that icon point to? That would help automate the process.

I'm surprised they don't do it by FTP. Then you could have an auto FTP program fetch it for you.

AutoIt should be able to do all 3 steps. Using simple scripting it can look for certain pop-up windows and/or particular text, move the mouse and click as needed, and enter keystrokes / key combos. I've used it to automatically log back into system gui's on apps that time out, etc. Best part - it's freeware!

Thanks to all for the tips. I was able to find the direct download links (they only show up when the files are ready for download) so we automated using those links. MB
