I am trying to capture streams from cbs.com, Trying 720p version.

I try using the cbs.php script from a few months ago posted by Biezom from http://stream-recorder.com/forum/showpost.php?p=78889&postcount=3

Video I am trying in question is from:
http://www.cbs.com/shows/madam-secretary/video/wgjNjmnquuZ4PNnKYLytFW2Nc_DK5q93/madam-secretary-on-the-clock/

I run the script:
php cbs.php http://www.cbs.com/shows/madam-secretary/video/wgjNjmnquuZ4PNnKYLytFW2Nc_DK5q93/madam-secretary-on-the-clock/


I gethttp://link.theplatform.com/s/dJ5BDC/u6CcZigKccDC?mbr=true&manifest=m3u

Eventually this will finish and give a file with the full episode time, But it has an ad for the first 30 seconds and it is cutting off the beginning 30 seconds of the video.

To Be Continued....

Part 2, sorry, long post had to do this in parts....

OR, if i play the video and use ad-block Plus ,filter for link.platform.com, I get the following:

http://link.theplatform.com/s/dJ5BDC/JkCKeaHrHIRN?format=SMIL&manifest=f4m&Tracking=true&mbr=true

Paste above link in browser, gives a "JkCKeaHrHIRN".
Open this file in a text editor it will gives me the video src url:

I have found using HDS link Detector does work, but will only give at best 480p, which is not what I want. I am looking for 720p.

[ehurdler]

Please if there is any way to get 720p versions captured again I would love help in getting these. Thank you in Advance.

I am trying to capture streams from cbs.com, Trying 720p version.

I try using the cbs.php script from a few months ago posted by Biezom from http://stream-recorder.com/forum/showpost.php?p=78889&postcount=3

dear biezom.
I could not send you a private message.

[Klorkz]

livestreamer works like a charm.

[ehurdler]

Biezom:
This does work. But it gives a file with commercials and isn't fully playable. For me anyways. Can you double check on the file it gives you? I tried with livestreamer, and ffmpeg. I get a series of errors either way. I get a few of the following errors during:

Biezom:
This does work. But it gives a file with commercials and isn't fully playable. For me anyways. Can you double check on the file it gives you? I tried with livestreamer, and ffmpeg. I get a series of errors either way. I get a few of the following errors during:

Use FFmpeg to change the TS file into an MP4:
ffmpeg -i video.ts -c copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc video.mp4

That will probably fix the playability problem.

Biezom! Great thanks that worked. I'll be honest I don't understand the streams fully, but now with the correction you made/pointing that out. I understand that. Now I get the full video without the commercial at the beginning using ffmpeg. Thank you so much!
