Hi folks,
guess this is a common question but ... after reading most of your posts I'm more confused than ever. I'd need something like as "manual for dummies".
Uh, BTW, I'm a MacOsX user (snow leopard).

Basically I'd like to download videos from mtvondemand. Stuff as "my life as Liz" or similar.
I have tried to understand your procedure but it looks arabic to me. I have most of the programs commonly used to see/download (VLC, various downloaders, ...) but none of them is good to download any of the above episodes.

I'm willing to learn so it would be useful a step by step method to download "tester episode (http://www.mtv.com/videos/my-life-as-liz-season-2-ep-12-new-beginnings/1663049/playlist.jhtml#series=2211&seriesId=29514&channelId=1)"
I will then try to do follow your instructions applying them to other ondemand episodes/series to became more confident and learn the basics.
Remember that I can use the "terminal" only if you specify exactly what I should write on it. Also what you consider obvious.

can any of you do it (in the simplestest/smoothest way possible) ?

thanks a lot folks. Much appreciated

you can still download your videos with no problems rtmpdump

chap, He/She is using Mac OS and can't use rtmpexplorer so as to get parameters for other episodes!!:)

spock, Here is an instruction for downloading them at highest quality and writing rtmpdump's script manually:
Go to the webpage and find "Flash player embedded path":
http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:videolist:mtv.com:1663049

Paste the link in browser and then you will be redirected to alternative url:
http://media.mtvnservices.com/player/prime/mediaplayerprime.1.12.1.swf?uri=mgid:uma:videolist :mtv.com:1663049&type=normal&ref=None&geo=GB&group=music&&CONFIG_URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.mtv.com%2fplayer%2femb ed%2fAS3%2fconfiguration.jhtml%3furi%3dmgid%3auma% 3avideolist%3amtv.com%3a1663049%26type%3dnormal%26 ref%3dNone%26geo%3dGB%26group%3dmusic%26ver%3dprim e

Decode that url and then find CONFIG_URL:
http://media.mtvnservices.com/player/prime/mediaplayerprime.1.12.1.swf?uri=mgid:uma:videolist :mtv.com:1663049&type=normal&ref=None&geo=GB&group=music&&CONFIG_URL=http://www.mtv.com/player/embed/AS3/configuration.jhtml?uri=mgid:uma:videolist:mtv.com :1663049&type=normal&ref=None&geo=GB&group=music&ver=prime

Paste Config url in browser again, you will see (I've removed unneeded parts):

As you see, for each title, there is a media:content tag!! So, try to find them and then paste them in browser(for example 1st one):

Bahman
thanks.
Guess there is another basic problem: when I paste any of the three url into a browser it appears an image (Liz's) followed by a full screen message: sorry we are unable to offer this video to users in your region.

This was my mistake. I gave you the link of the US mtv site to be sure you could provide a "working example". I should however be able to substitute that link with anyone suitable for my area (italy). I guess that the coding system is exactly the same.

You should be able to see this link although you'll have problems in playing any of the episodes.
http://ondemand.mtv.it/serie-tv/my-life-as-liz
i.e. the first episode link is (http://ondemand.mtv.it/serie-tv/my-life-as-liz/s02/my-life-as-liz-s02e12)

Bottom line: how should I insert any of the links I may be interested in, in the protocol you use.

thanks for your patience

[Bahman]

I think it's better if you use US proxies or VPNs!! Because:
1. The quality of Videos that are stored in US MTV are far better (HD 1280x720)!!
2. The instruction of MTV.it is a little bit hard!!:D

Anyway, again Go to the webpage and find "Flash player embedded path":
http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:videolist:mtv.it:688423

Paste the link in browser and then you will be redirected to alternative url:
http://media.mtvnservices.com/player/prime/mediaplayerprime.1.9.0.swf?uri=mgid:uma:videolist: mtv.it:688423&type=normal&ref=None&geo=IT&group=intl&&CONFIG_URL=http%3a%2f%2fmedia.mtvnservices.com%2fp mt%2fe1%2fplayers%2fmgid%3auma%3avideolist%3amtv.i t%3a%2fcontext1%2fconfig.xml%3furi%3dmgid%3auma%3a videolist%3amtv.it%3a688423%26type%3dnormal%26ref% 3dNone%26geo%3dIT%26group%3dintl%26

Decode that url and then find CONFIG_URL:
http://media.mtvnservices.com/player/prime/mediaplayerprime.1.9.0.swf?uri=mgid:uma:videolist: mtv.it:688423&type=normal&ref=None&geo=IT&group=intl&&CONFIG_URL=http://media.mtvnservices.com/pmt/e1/players/mgid:uma:videolist:mtv.it:/context1/config.xml?uri=mgid:uma:videolist:mtv.it:688423&type=normal&ref=None&geo=IT&group=intl&

Paste Config url in browser again, you will see (I've removed unneeded parts):
<player>
<feed>
http://intl.esperanto.mtvi.com/www/xml/fullepisode.jhtml?uri={uri}&version=as3&keyValues=partner%3Dviral
</feed>
<config>

Add the URI string to that blue highlighted url:
http://intl.esperanto.mtvi.com/www/xml/fullepisode.jhtml?uri=
+
mgid:uma:videolist:mtv.it:688423
=
http://intl.esperanto.mtvi.com/www/xml/fullepisode.jhtml?uri=mgid:uma:videolist:mtv.it:68 8423

if you have FireFox 11 or Chrome, you can browse that final URL! but with IE, you can't!! If you are insist on opening that on IE, you should use Media RSS reader/Feed Validator!!

Then, You can see the IDs of each part of Vid (the IDs are: 688432, 688433, 688434, 688435)!! but all of them shows only one rtmpe url!! So, Use one of them so as to see it:

Last thing, I couldn't understand your last question!!! ;)

[spock]

hi,
tough week but now I'm back.

(btw I'm also using Firefox, … or Chrome or Opera or Safari. I don't think IE is anymore in use for Apple-ers)

I'm now following carefully your instruction

…

Ok, I need an url decoder.
I use http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/ to get the "esperanto" url.

Did it.

FF asks me now if I want subscribe to the feed with bookmarkLive or NetNewsWire or …

However, I can see "my life as Liz - 2x12 - nuovi inizi - part 1/4"

In each of them there are "multimedia files" corresponding to Hi and Lo (resolution, I guess)

http://http//www.mtv.it/www/xml/flv/flvgen.jhtml?vid=688432&hiLoPref=hi
http://http//www.mtv.it/www/xml/flv/flvgen.jhtml?vid=688432&hiLoPref=lo

I see, I should copy now the number related to the part I'm interested in, into
http://intl.esperanto.mtvi.com/www/xml/fullepisode.jhtml?uri=mgid:uma:videolist:mtv.it:xx xx

did it. The browser tell me that the resolution is
384x288_400_m30.mp4

urgh!!

I don't understand how you got the
code:
<item startTime="0.040" endTime="190.920">
...
</src>
</rendition>

however, once I understand how to do it, I'll copy
rtmpe://viacommtvstrmf...500_h32.mp4

and … write a script !?!?

bottom line … I can do it all … except for the very last passage.:confused:

thanks :) :) :) :)


mmh I should also learn how to find "working" US proxies or vpn (what! :D )

[Bahman]

^HotSpot Shield or AdvOr!! ;)

[spock]

HotSpot Shield is used for VPNs. Correct?
It seems however the only choice because AdvOr is available for Win, only.

thanks

when you have time, will you be so kind to explain me the last two steps of the procedure? As you can see I'm "manually" stacked at:

<item startTime="0.040" endTime="190.920"> :confused:


as I said I'm totally new in this kind of approaches-
:D

thanks a lot

[spock]

Please,
any feedback to my last post? :confused:
I'm stacked in the last part of the procedure. What should I do exactly? Remember that I'm a Mac user.
thanks a lot folks :)

rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://cp24806.edgefcs.net/ondemand/" -a "ondemand/" -W "http://media.mtvnservices.com/player/prime/mediaplayerprime.1.10.8.swf" -y "mp4:mtviestor/_!/intlod/it/ontv/my_life_as_liz/it_mylifeasliz_212_640x480_1600_m30.mp4" -o it_mylifeasliz_212_640x480_1600_m30.flv

Last thing, I couldn't understand your last question!!! ;)

[JALsnipe]

Hi sorry for the bump, but I'm having trouble with a similar MTV Networks page.

I am trying to download the Double Dare clips from this page:
http://90sareallthat.teennick.com/us/base/vote

I got this URLs from the first video:
http://media.nick.com/mgid:cms:video:teennick.com:1140028

But when I try to decrypt the CONFIG_URL from here:
http://media.mtvnservices.com/player/prime/mediaplayerprime.1.12.3.swf?uri=mgid:cms:video:tee nnick.com:1140028&type=normal&ref=None&geo=US&group=kids&network=cable&device=Other&CONFIG_URL=http://media.mtvnservices.com/pmt/e1/players/mgid:cms:video:teennick.com:/config.xml?uri=mgid:cms:video:teennick.com:1140028&type=normal&ref=None&geo=US&group=kids&network=cable&device=Other

It sends me to this page:
http://media.mtvnservices.com/pmt/e1/players/mgid:cms:video:teennick.com:/config.xml?uri=mgid:cms:video:teennick.com:1140028&type=normal&ref=None&geo=US&group=kids&network=cable&device=Other

And there are no media:content tags. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.7 so I need to find the rtmp url the long way. Thanks in advance!

Hey, thanks for that. May I ask as to how you found that URL? I'm not sure how I would set up the command though, since I get this error:

RTMPDump v2.2d
(c) 2010 Andrej Stepanchuk, Howard Chu, The Flvstreamer Team; license: GPL
Connecting ...
WARNING: HandShake: Type mismatch: client sent 6, server answered 9
WARNING: HandShake: Server not genuine Adobe!
ERROR: RTMP_Connect1, handshake failed.


I'm not sure what to do with the RTMP url. I've set up commands like this in the past:
./rtmpdump -r "rtmp://cp79285.edgefcs.net:80/ondemand?ovpfv=1.1" -a "ondemand?ovpfv=1.1" -y "mp4:/root/international_program_sales/b2b_site/trailers/01_11/rt180275_promo_mipcom_2_384x288_600.mp4" -o guts2.mp4

Thanks again for the help!

use rtmpdumpV2.4


rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://viacomnickstrmfs.fplive.net:1935/viacomnickstrm" -y "mp4:gsp.alias/mediabus/nick.com/2012/05/04/03/54/267228/_66750_3766228_267228_20120504155439092_640x480_16 00_m30.mp4" -o 30.flv

[spock]

use rtmpdumpV2.4


rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://viacomnickstrmfs.fplive.net:1935/viacomnickstrm" -y "mp4:gsp.alias/mediabus/nick.com/2012/05/04/03/54/267228/_66750_3766228_267228_20120504155439092_640x480_16 00_m30.mp4" -o 30.flv



Am I wrong or v2.4 is actually for Lion only? Both me and JALsnipe are using SL.
Any idea if v2.3 still fits with the above requirements (download from MTV ondemand)?
thanks

find "Flash player embedded path":
http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:videolist:mtv.it:688423

.....CUT.....

Use one of them so as to see it:
http://intl.esperanto.mtvi.com/www/xml/media/mediaGen.jhtml?uri=mgid:uma:video:mtv.it:688432

Hi !
I followed your instructions and I got to the XML feed.....but when I try to download the jhtml file, I don't get the XML with rtmp URLs, the browser is redirected instead :mad:

I followed these steps:

from http://ondemand.mtv.it/serie-tv/soliti-idioti/s04/soliti-idioti-il-rinnovamento-della-chiesa-s04e13 I found http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.it:788634
browsing the last URL and raw_url_decodeing the new URL I obtain http://media.mtvnservices.com/player/prime/mediaplayerprime.1.10.8.swf?uri=mgid:uma:video:mtv .it:788634&type=normal&ref=None&geo=IT&group=intl&network=None&device=Other&CONFIG_URL=http://media.mtvnservices.com/pmt/e1/players/mgid:uma:video:mtv.it:/context1/config.xml?uri=mgid:uma:video:mtv.it:788634&type=normal&ref=None&geo=IT&group=intl&network=None&device=Other
browsing the CONFIG_URL I obtain a new XML in which I find http://intl.esperanto.mtvi.com/www/xml/video.jhtml?uri={uri}&version=as3&keyValues={keyValues}&franchise={franchise}

please notice that now there are 2 new parameters in the query string !: Perhaps they are responsible for the failure in the next 3 steps.
I modifiy the "esperanto" url in this way: http://intl.esperanto.mtvi.com/www/xml/video.jhtml?uri=mgid:uma:video:mtv.it:788634 and I get a RSS feed:

in the RSS feed I find 2 media content url:
http://it.esperanto.mtvi.com/www/xml/flv/flvgen.jhtml?vid=788634&hiLoPref=hi
http://it.esperanto.mtvi.com/www/xml/flv/flvgen.jhtml?vid=788634&hiLoPref=lo
obviously they are hi-res and low-res version of the same video.
now there is the FAILURE:
if i try to open one of the above URLs, I don't obtain an XML with rtmp:// urls......instead the browser is redirected to
http://www.mtv.it/?vid=788634&hiLoPref=hi
that is just the MTV homepage :( :(


any idea of how to get rtmp:// ??
probably the keyValues={keyValues}&franchise={franchise} in step 3 are responsible of some sort of authentication.......
