Adobe HDS Downloader

[Mutut]

Hi, I tried Adobe HDS Downloader on an embedded video. I caught the manifest thanks to the Link Detector but when I launch the script, it says:

KSV Adobe HDS Downloader

Processing manifest info....
Quality Selection:
 Available: 672
 Selected: 672
Fragments total: 541, First: 1, Start: 1, Parallel: 8
Access Denied! Unable to download fragments.

Here's the script I first used:

php AdobeHDS.php --manifest "http://tf1vodhdscatchup-vh.akamaihd.net/z/H264-384x288/91/85/11319185.h264/manifest.f4m?hdnea=st=1456428498~exp=1456430298~acl=/*~hmac=543fee15568c3e6841b6255482d7baabe7f48f9589dd60e510bfd26a7152335b&bu=WAT&login=ntz&i=86.218.204.125&u=a9241c6546c9212a602c5246c56d6f7b&sum=ac2388a345bdf0f0e60f17340dedc73d&start=0&hdcore=2.11.3&g=GPTMGKSFPHUA" --delete --auth "pvtoken=exp%3D9999999999%7Eacl%3D%252f%252a%7Edata%3DZXhwPTE0NTY1MTQ4OTl+YWNsPSUyZip+ZGF0YT1wdmMsc35obWFjPTllZTU1MTU2NTQwMzk2YzcwZTE0ZjRlY2EwOWVjYjk4MjE4OWRhNTdmYmI2NmQ1Y2VkMTUyMGEyMjExYTk3OWU%3D%21dLiI/VkZ8lgyYaau3IcgVUBFrAbEk2qmwY6+VSa5O4w%3D%7Ehmac%3D26D6FBAA42B0E0426D9B6A3853465E3E102FDBF3ED32EAA0A42AA2F2ECD14CCD&hdntl=exp=1456514899~acl=%2f*~data=hdntl~hmac=7a858a0e6107684d46e16ee690a5a201938ca63cf0bf716192f3d16a2fd578a8&bu=WAT&login=ntz&i=86.218.204.125&u=a9241c6546c9212a602c5246c56d6f7b&sum=ac2388a345bdf0f0e60f17340dedc73d&start=0&als=0,2,0,0,0,NaN,0,0,0,24,f,0,3246.68,f,s,GPTMGKSFPHUA,2.11.3,24&hdcore=2.11.3" --useragent "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:46.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/46.0"

I tried with -manifest "http://www.wat.tv/images/v70/PlayerLite.swf" (with and without the VideoId from the original link) but still can't download.

The original link of the video is no longer available since the website is now closed. You can check it here: http://www.wat.tv/video/jt-21-decemb...df_2eyuf_.html

The embedded link which still works actually:
http://www.wat.tv/images/v70/PlayerL...?videoId=6qpdf

Can you help me please?

Dear KSV,
thank you a lot for writing and maintaining this behemoth of a script!

My use case is watching sports matches of my favorite volleyball team from a subscription-based service, which I do pay for, but whose Flash player sucks.

Basically it does zero buffering, so my connection remains idle for 90% of the time, while the current segment is playing; then at the last possible moment the SWF wakes up and tries to download the next segment, freezing the video because it cannot get it in time; then it plays the segment, goes down in resolution, connection idle again... rinse and repeat, over and over, making the match impossible to enjoy. Whoever wrote this piece of shit Kaltura player needs to be tarred and feathered and sent back to flipping burgers. Even Real Player had better buffering!

Anyways, as I was squeezing Google for information about this crazy segmented media format I had never seen before, I found your script mentioned in some other forum. I was able to apply it straightaway to my website, at least for the recorded matches (I have to wait for the next live match to see if it works live too)

I have never seen a media protocol as complicated as this. I've been browsing the source code of your script and I have to say I'm stunned at the complexity and ingenuity it displays.

Bravo! If there is any way for me to buy you a beer, PM me the details :-)

I'm trying to download video from http://livestream.com/boisestate/eve...deos/114615595 but I'm failing. HDS Link Detector isn't building this for me as it has in past for videos on this site so I'm going old school via wireshark.

I've found the SMIL "http://api.new.livestream.com/accounts/14596003/events/4800203/videos/114615595.smil" but I'm unable to get AdobeHDS.php to parse it.

Try this:

php AdobeHDS.php --delete --manifest "http://vod.livestream.com/events/0000000000493ecb/63868808-9f6a-479d-831b-184825fed1ad_,678,.mp4/manifest.f4m?token=0_574a8212_263f94a92a91d2a51b896e7933fbbcaf93cf2e67&start=507&end=7041"

Looks like they changed something on the site. When I open it now HDS link detector does grab that command below. However, some of the URLs from before still exist.

The XML containing the higher speed/resolution video is at http://nlds119.neulion.com:443/play?url=%2Fnldsu_vod%2Fjtvs%2Fvod%2F2016%2F03%2F0 4%2Fcdwrzlbidrdbuze.20160305042511%2Fcdwrzlbidrdbu ze.20160305042511_1_pc.mp4' which links specifically to the HD stream at 'http://nlds119.neulion.com:443/play?url=%2Fnldsu_vod%2Fjtvs%2Fvod%2F2016%2F03%2F0 4%2Fcdwrzlbidrdbuze.20160305042511%2Fcdwrzlbidrdbu ze.20160305042511_1_3000.mp4'

I'm hoping I can find a link to that HD stream. Doesn't seem like they change any keys.

Hi, I am not able to use HDS Link Detector with Firefox on the following link...

http://www.sonyliv.com/details/episo...ress-from-Past

How do I get the manifest url? Pls help.

Hello,
I need help!
I started a thread named "http://ici.radio-canada.ca/tele/"
I received only 1 answer which redirected me here and now I'm stuck with no more replies to my 2nd question:

When I paste the link from HDS link Detector, I get this message: "could not open input file: AdobeHDS.php"


p.s. I read all sticky post from Video stream recording, and it did not help me. I tried numerous free and registered programs without any success.

I'm not a programmer and I don't understand PHP. I need a self explanatory method for Dummies. I read and tried following the WIKI
https://github.com/K-S-V/Scripts/wiki

I had some trouble with the whole process of installing PHP, but I finally made it work : when I type php -v I get the right msg.

All I want is to be able to download videos from this site:
http://ici.radio-canada.ca/tele/toc-...e?isAutoPlay=1

Video Downloader Ultimate was able to download all video fragments to a folder. I read the method to stitch them together, but I can't figure how to make it work.
Please, I already spent 5 days from 10 am to 10 pm trying to make this work. I'm going insane and I need help.


EDIT: I finally made it work and I got the video! This youtube video helped :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahq_Azppvj8
I would like to say what made it difficult is that the steps in wiki are incomplete. Here are steps you could add to it to help others like me:

After installing PHP, download AdobeHDS.php script here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/K-...r/AdobeHDS.php
Save page as: AdobeHDS.php (remove .txt)
Place file in C:\PHP
Open Command Prompt and type: cd c:\php
To see if everything is working (you should see help menu appear) type: php adboeHDS.php --help
Go to your video in Firefox, copy link with HDS link detector
paste link in Command Prompt
It should start download!!

I'm so happy!!!

I need some serious help here.
I'm a bit new to all of this, but I've been using two programs for a while now. PHP (V5.3) and FFMPEG/ISMDownloader.

But, my computer crashed, had to turn it back to the day I got it. Voila, everything was gone. Opened up my old laptops, 5 of them, found the old folders in one of them. Hallelujah.
I remembered this happened once before. So I did the same as now.
- Copy the v5.3 folder (php, from C where it was located),
- Paste in my extended harddrive and then just paste into C on my new laptop. And it worked, twice.
But now this time.

First I got a message saying the cURL extension needed to be downloaded.
Fooled around, fucked up and deleted everything and then changed it back, copied and pasted and 7 hours later; I now just get this message;


I've tried to copy and paste - didn't work, but it worked for FFMPEG
I've tried downloading different versions - didn't work
I've tried to use this one; https://www.microsoft.com/web/platfo...onwindows.aspx
Put it in just C. Then program files (x86) and copy and make a copy on to just "C", and tried "C:/PHP" as well. Deleted and did it all over again.

I followed this guide, twice; https://github.com/K-S-V/Scripts/wiki
The "installing for dummies" - didn't work.

Can't find a single "tutorial" on how to install it on windows 10.

What is going on?!

The only difference is; first laptop has Windows 7. The second laptop has Windows 7, upgraded to windows 10 - PHP worked fine on those.
This laptop had windows 8 - worked.
Then I upgraded it to windows 10 - worked.
Then my laptop died; I had to reset it to factory (back to win 8) and upgraded it to 10. Did the same copy and paste method but now PHP wont work! FFMPEG works, even tho I forgot to copy the ismn folder, why or how it works, I have no freaking clue.

Yes, I might use wrong names here. But I'm not smart, I'm actually a bit dumb. I killed my laptop, 4 times. Because I dropped them on the floor, kicked it and threw one out of the window, yes, anger issues.
PHP is Adobe php.

I only use it to download videos, or stream or record.
I use sniffer, find the manifest and done.
Or firefox - HDS link detector, done.
That's what I need it for, to download videos where I can capture the manifest.

This is the bat file I use;
php.exe adobehds.php --manifest "INSERT LINK HERE" --delete

pause

Sometimes I just copy the whole thing captured by HDS link detector.
No complicated stuff is being done. I don't use this program for anything else.
Help! why wont it work on my laptop? What I'm doing wrong in downloading it?

I tried it on my old laptop, and it worked fine. The V5.3 folder that I use is working fine, but on this laptop it wont work.
