what am i doing wrong with this silverlight ISM video?

[klatwork]

so i'm trying to download this olympic video...
doesn't seem to have encryption....
http://olympics.cbc.ca/videos/live/v...rning-day.html

I found the manifest:
http://vod-s.olympics.cbc.ca/d8dbb15...0 183081c2951

and i run ismdownloder using this command:
ismdownloader "http://vod-s.olympics.cbc.ca/d8dbb15f-8826-4a1b-9453-257473c521a7/53739a54-0f5e-49ec-afea-04b2eac3ae43.ism/manifest?__auth__=1392341182_da26db86241f8eb136e50 183081c2951" "c:\temp\video.mkv"


somehow, it says the highest 250000 bitrate video is selected as well as the audio, but i checked the folders, only the audio segments are downloaded, the video segment folder is empty...somehow it just doesn't download the video stream...

so i tried editing the manifest...and deleted video bitrate streams 1-7..and only keep the first stream "0" ....it downloads fine...
and that's the only stream/bitrate that downloads ..it doesn't download the rest of the bitrates

I'm lost..PLEASE help...experts..

Have you figured this out, or given any help? I am in the US and looking to do same thing with NBCOlympics.com.

Having the same issue...any solution?

I guess this issue comes up only when there is a single video stream in the manifest. So if we edit the manifest and add another fake stream of lower quality, it will pick up the valid stream and start downloading. Question is how to use the edited manifest file from your disk in ismdownloader?

[nyuszika7h]

You could try using the file:// protocol (e.g. file://C:/path/to/manifest).

Thanks for the input. But that method gives a 0 Kb file (Recording duration 00:00:00)
