ABC and Disney Networks

[TankEngineOh]

I have been trying really hard for a long time now to try to figure out how to stream rip videos from http://watchdisneychannel.go.com/
I am completely out of ideas here, though, and I am in need of help. While using URL Snooper it appears as if Disney is currently hosting their videos on their ABC servers, so I am assuming the ripping process will be the same. Does anyone already know how to rip ABC videos? Can anyone help me to figure out how to rip videos from WatchDisneyChannel?

[chap]

try use ffmpeg
example

Thank you for the response, chap. I am kind of new at this. Would you mind to please give me a step-by-step on how to accomplish this?

Here how to download from watchdisneychannel.com:

Let's try for example with this video:

http://watchdisneychannel.go.com/gravity-falls/SH55210639/VDKA0_qyeylb8v/double-dipper

When you are using Firefox, then you can press "CTRL+SHIFT+I" or "CTRL+SHIFT+K" to open the Web-Console or use URL Snooper.

Then when you open the videopage, the website will send a .m3u8 file. Use the first m3u8 file you see. It should be named something like this:

http://content.uplynk.com/ext/21885d134fa441488df8e1d7acee8c66/4752595.m3u8...

Save it and open it with a text Editor. I prefer Wordpad over than the normal Editor, beacuse in Editor it is just one long line.

In the .m3u8 file you will find other .m3u8 links. They are the links to the video. The resolution of the video stand before each link. Highest resolution should be at the bottom of the file

Then copy the link to the resolution you want. Next you will need ffmpeg.

Copy the link into this command: ffmpeg -i "video.m3u8" -c copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc "name.mp4"
Open your cmd and download the video with ffmpeg and this command.

I hope I wrote it understandable.

Hey sorry for the bump but I'm having trouble downloading from the Disney sites.

I'm trying to download this video:
http://watchdisneychannel.go.com/how...emiere-trailer

First I do what you say, get the .m3u8 playlist from the inspector. I then go in and grab the 1080p stream URL:

#UPLYNK-MEDIA0:1920x1080x30,high-40,2x48000
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,RESOLUTION=1920x1080,BANDWIDTH=6902579,CODECS="mp4a.40.5,avc1.640028"
http://content-ause4.uplynk.com/3d0c3e128fcb44059a1cf65c5d04455a/h.m3u8?[MY_KEY_INFO]

I throw that into the ffmpeg call like you said:

ffmpeg -i "http://content-ause4.uplynk.com/3d0c3e128fcb44059a1cf65c5d04455a/e.m3u8?[MY_KEY_INFO]" -c copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc "test.mp4"

But I get the following error:

Note that I've removed any sensitive key info in the URL. Has the way to download Disney videos changed over the past few months?

Thanks again!

EDIT: I think something is wrong with that key file. When I try to curl the URL ffmpeg uses for the key file, it gives me garbage data:

Use this code:

ffmpeg -i "http://content-ausw3.uplynk.com/3d0c3e128fcb44059a1cf65c5d04455a/h.m3u8?exp=1407003250&ct=a&eid=10017086&oid=21885d134fa441488df8e1d7acee8c66&iph=130fd32d4899168bcb9eb91b5f940e4caddb069160822dc11021b2aa24777fe7&rays=eabcdfgh&euid=00A6355D-555B-4D6A-8F3A-5E752AA18AAC_000_0&sig=352c68a1b55f9080850a6aebf7370f352f967f642dac1b90c7aa224d312bc50f&pbs=bd79d0b64e4e4c61bd7c13646501cc99" -c copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc "test.mp4"

Sorry for this question, a bit of a noob. I can't seem to find the .m3u8 file in firefox. Where in the console/inspector do you find it? I've tried using URLSnooper as well but can still not find it.

[peterpan]

As mentioned above, Press Ctrl + Shift + k (or i)
Play the stream...and search for m3u8 strings...
Hope this helps...

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I finally am able to download from those sites now! Do you have any idea if this works the same way with hulu and netflix?
