Anybody want to crack the new code of WatchESPN streams (with 7 bars of quality)?

[BusterAvis]

Hello, I'm about to show you two screenshots below, shown at the bottom of this message. The top screenshot of the two images below represents the old (and current platform for most) ESPN streams. The bottom screenshot represents what ESPN is doing for some of their new streams, and all of their SEC streams for SEC+ sports programs live and on demand.

We already know how to download the old (current) method, for most WatchESPN videos (RTMP Dump Helper works, as does Replay Media Catcher). However, the 2nd of the two screenshots below, does not work for either RTMP Dump Helper or Replay Media Cather, at least it doesn't work when using the same procedure (maybe a different procedure will work?). Notice the difference between the two screenshots below. One has 4 bars, the other has 7 bars of quality. Several of the newer videos and the SEC+ videos on demand have 7 bars of quality and seem to be impossible to catch the stream and download it. But maybe someone can help. I'm not interested in recording off the screen (I already have Replay Video Capture, but prefer not to use that for ESPN streams, as I like catching and downloading the stream much better).

Take this video link from below for example (if you have WatchESPN, please feel free to check on this yourself) ....

Here's the link to an example of an ESPN3 video that can't be downloaded?:
http://espn.go.com/watchespn/player/_/id/2569576/

Notice how after clicking on that link above, there are now 7 bars of quality, instead of 4 bars. Now, I know a lot of the current ESPN3 (WatchESPN) videos still use 4 bars of quality. But I have a feeling that these new videos with 7 bars of quality will be the standard going forward at some point. That means it's possible for those out there (including myself) that download videos from ESPN3, well we might no longer be able to do so in the near future, unless we can crack this code for the 7 bar ones. So far, I've had no luck with these newer ESPN3 videos, which also include all the SEC (SEC+) videos. Can anyone help? Thanks.


Please reference the "blue" circle that is manually added to both screenshots below (it is hard to see at first), but you can see in the 2nd screenshot that there are 7 potential bars of quality in the blue circle. I don't even know if the quality is different, but the WatchESPN videos in which there are 7 bars of quality seem to be encrypted differently than the traditional 4 bar videos, and so far the 7 bar ones seem to be impossible to download. Maybe there's a way to download it going the m3u8 file route?

I have never failed to be able to catch and download the 4 bar ones. But I have never succeeded yet in getting any of the 7 bar ones. As always, please feel free to help. Thanks.

i can't zoom in to make the images bigger to see what you're referring to.

I'm able to grab the 720p stream without issue...with livestreamer and the m3u8.

Thanks slim94.
Where do I copy and paste this code at?
I tried it in command prompt after downloading livestreamer, and it didn't work.

Likely because the stream expired by the time you got to it. You'll need to sniff out the m3u8 yourself and try it

[BusterAvis]

Thanks. I must not be doing something right with Command Prompt.
I am able to sniff a new m3u8 source file, using Replay Media Catcher. Here's the new source code:



New Source Code:

Here's what I attempted to type (exactly as verbatim) in Command Prompt:



Here's the output I get in Command Prompt after typing/pasting that code:




Here's the error from the output I get (circled in red below):

I recently had to have my computer re-imaged, and lost all my downloaded software/applications. So I downloaded URL Snooper and Livestreamer (v.1.12.2), and have attempted to continue capturing streams of games on watchespn.

I have been receiving nothing but “400 Client Error: Bad Request” on all attempted stream captures.

URL Snooper seems to be working fine, but I wonder if I’m doing something wrong with livestreamer. After download, I followed all the prompts to put it on my system, but I’m wondering if there’s something else I’m supposed to do.
Please advise and any assistance is greatly appreciated--
The game I’m trying to capture is the 03JULY game between the Atlanta Braves and Florida Marlins from Fort Bragg, NC. I was trying to capture the version broadcast in Spanish.
