Hi,

I understand that this is an old topic, but I can't find a complete answer for my case.

For example, in order to download the stream from http://mytv.tvb.com/tc/cat_lifestyle/wildalaska/236815, I'm told to follow the steps :

examine the "json" at
http://api.mytv.tvb.com/rest_user_subscription_api/video_path/format/json?id=236815
extract the path of the desired quality
rtmpe://wowza.stream.tvb.com/vipo/_definst_/mp4:vipo/34/6751/675050/000000873828.mp4?ts=1456189210&sig=0cb7dc9bcfc29c8b1008b91c0937468d&audioindex=0
create the hls url with the "ts" & "sig" values in the path
http://streaming.tvb.com/vipo/_definst_/vipo/34/6751/675050/000000873828.mp4/playlist.m3u8?ts=1456189210&sig=0cb7dc9bcfc29c8b1008b91c0937468d
and then retrieve with livestreamer or ffmpeg.


My question is : Starting from the original url, how can I find the two "magic" url's ?
http://api.mytv.tvb.com/rest_user_subscription_api/video_path/format/json?id=236815

http://streaming.tvb.com/vipo/_definst_/vipo/34/6751/675050/000000873828.mp4/playlist.m3u8?ts=1456189210&sig=0cb7dc9bcfc29c8b1008b91c0937468d

What tools are required for their determination ?

Thank you for the method, but this is not sufficient for solving my problem :

Please allow me to ask the question in this way :

If I want to find the true playlist of the video stream from the web page http://mytv.tvb.com/tc/cat_lifestyle/wildalaska/236815, what is the first step I should take ?
