Hi

I was trying to download a video embedded with uplynk/flash. I was able to download the file but all the players (VLC, mp4 and host of other players don't play the file). Currently really frustrated not sure what to do. Does up uplynk protect the file? For download I used Video downloader professional on Chrome. Anyone mind trying ? Thanks

Get and use FFmpeg to remux the downloaded file to an MP4 container using the command below--replace "INPUTFILENAME" with the name of the file you downloaded, and "OUTPUTFILENAME" with what you want it to be, but keep the ".mp4" extension.

ffmpeg -i INPUTFILENAME -c copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc OUTPUTFILENAME.mp4

Hi Slim10

Thanks for your response. It returned "invalid data found when processing input ". I am assuming the data is corrupted or set up in a way its encrypted. However, I downloaded various quality and still gave me the same problem. Thanks

I don't know what you did, or what you downloaded. You might not have downloaded a video.

In the other thread you posted this link: http://content.uplynk.com/player/BpmB0f7ehBdPeYqB0Z6zQea.html

That page was blank for me. But I looked in the page source and found a link to an m3u8 playlist. I used Livestreamer with that m3u8 link to download the video. The video doesn't play at first in VLC. But it plays fine after remuxing it to an MP4 container using the FFmpeg command I gave you.

The video is of a graduation ceremony at Cranfield University. I assume that's the one you want?

That is true .It is the video I want. I used Video Downloader to download from that URL. The file I downloaded from there has mp4 extension and thought it was going to play with VLC and others. I will follow your directions ,

1. Use livestreamer to get m3u8 link and download
2. Use FFmpeg to convert to mp4

Thanks for this. I appreciate it.
