Adobe HDS Downloader

[palm1234]

By the way I forked AdobeHDS.php and created a python version (with the major features) on
https://github.com/k3c/Scripts

This AdobeHDS.py is basically for retrieving the m6replay.fr files, but can be easily adapted.

Sure, I do know that

Actually I thought that there would have been similarities between both implementations of this kind of DRM.

KSV, I'm new to HDS but you seem to be the go to guy about it. ABC iView recently switched to using an akamai-based HDS for unmetered streaming, I was wondering if you had worked out the algorithm for generating pvtoken?

I was also looking into the AkamaiHDUnmetered stuff. There’s a very englightening post by KSV about the “pvtoken” algorithm in this thread about a Pluzz French service:

http://stream-recorder.com/forum/rec...html#post43761

PluzzDL.py implementation: http://code.google.com/p/tvdownloade...src/PluzzDL.py

Unfortunately I now understand the PV stands for “player verification”. KSV says it requires both a hash of the player SWF and another key hidden inside the player. It looks like someone would have to get very intimate with the ABC’s flash player to find out the key.

sorry for interrupting

i think newest version of GetFLV can download akamai drm streams (abc ivew etc) just use Ipad mode for downloading

yeah, see this thread for explanation of same. you can also use my firefox add-on to retrieve such videos if they are not encrypted.

Nope, downloading the alternate HLS (.m3u8 / not HDS) stream by using the User-Agent of mobile device isn't anything new. it's a well known method around here. but not all providers provide alternative unprotected streams. it has nothing to do with Akamai DRM or FlashAccess DRM.

It seems that "HDS Link Detector 0.5" is no longer compatible with firefox 22.0 !!!!

[WHOOKIDSON]

and thats the reason I downgraded my Firefox RIGHT AFTER I upgraded it !!

s/n: a lot of times when i'm downloading with through AdobeHDS/cmd prompt it gets "stuck" on the last frag download..

for instance..if its "875" frags to be downloaded..it will get to 875 and just "hang"..any way around that?

It was just a notice from my side "WHOOKIDSON".
You can always use sniffers like "URL snooper" and many others mentioned on this site to find the samme correct link as with the Firefox addins!, but I think your problems is more with your Internet network provider or there could be som virus or other things on your computer, causing it to hang. You can also try to delete your cache(clean your computer) with CCleaner before your try a few times more.

thanks for the reply

I cleaned the cache/history etc etc and I'm 100% sure there are no viruses or any other malicious programs on my pc..I've even tried it using a RDP and it still hangs but this time it "hangs" @ frag# 801..dunno whats causing the problem..but it seems its more on the site side from which I'm downloading from..I will try more things..thanks dude..
