Hello,

I would like to know if there's any way that I can record video from this webpage? http://cctv.cntv.cn/live/cctvyinyue/index.shtml#online

It's a real-time TV broadcasting website and the video's played in an embedded player. However, it also supports play-back for recent programs. I've tried many methods and softwares and nothing works (rather peculiarly, NetTransport's URL sniffer gets nothing).

I would really appreciate it if you could help me.
Thanks in advance.

Matt

Live stream is using UDP layer! AFAIK, there is no method for recording!

Other vids are using HTTP protocol!! Easily can be downloaded by any software!!

Thank you so much for your quick reply. But would you mind explain it a little bit more? 'cos I'm really dumb... By "other vids", do you mean those in the playback, or other vids on cntv.cn? I know I could download vids on http://ent.cntv.cn/enttv/yinyuerensheng/classpage/video/20120305/100083.shtml, but for the one in playback onhttp://cctv.cntv.cn/live/cctvyinyue/index.shtml#online, I haven't had any luck yet.

For example, if I want to record some recent show (rather than the currently playing one) which I can view by clicking the "playback"(回看), is that possible?

The recent programs in playback still use the same embedded player, so maybe not?

Thanks again!

I meant, like this vid!!

I don't see sth like that word there, I see:

I should choose which one?

You are right but we can test!;)

Oh thank you. I mean like clicking the underscored characters in this pic:
http://ww2.sinaimg.cn/large/9ba950efgw1dr4brefxh2j.jpg
It's on the right side of the embedded player.
(The blue line is the live stream, it says "currently broadcasting". And everything above it are in "playback" mode)

Thank you so much!

It's my pleasure!! ;)

But why I don't have anything above of blue line::confused:

I think it's because that at the beginning of each week, the website removed all the playbacks from last week and start anew. And in the early morning of Monday, they don't broadcast (hence the pied circle in the embedded you see). I think that's why you don't see anything above the blue line. If you woudn't mind try it now, there should be something there.

Thank you again!

As I said it's my pleasure!! You are so welcome!!;)

luckily, The playback vids are using HTTP for streaming!! Use a free software like StreamTransport (http://www.videohelp.com/download/streamtransport_setup_1022041.exe?r=THCcGkvpbz) for detecting and downloading them!! Also you can track packets and find the playlist file via Coojah (http://www.hensence.com/en/coojah/download.htm)!!
For example:
http://vdd.player.cntv.cn/liveback.php?channel=cctvmusic&starttime=201203190735&endtime=201203190838

Also if you notice at links, you will find out there is a good help to figure out next links!! Red highlighted ones!! Each link, contains 5min! So, 5*12=60 !! You just need to edit them to get any vids you like!!

if there is any other little help that I can do, let me know!!

Good Luck, friend!!;)
