Bypass Tv Provider login (USA Network, etc)

[mrk2005]

Hi all again!
There are some sites, e.g. UsaNetwork, that requires TV Provider login in order to see the video.

I'd like to get only the closed captions of an episode, I don't need to download the full video, but of course I have to face the TV Provider login.

For instance: http://www.usanetwork.com/graceland/.../no-old-tigers

any ideas to get the closed captions or bypass the TV Provider login? I wanted to try BitAnalyzer, but it just can't work with the login asking for my tv provider. (I live outside US).

Thanks!!

You have to authenticate to see the subs -- they're provided at the same time as the video is - why would you think the subs are accessible without a login?

You can't bypass that.

You can

1. Load that page and view the source code (CTRL+U in Chrome)
2. Search for player.theplatform.com/p. You will get:

//player.theplatform.com/p/HNK2IC/usa_vod/select/dCwDTq4xVrLF?autoPlay=true&form=html&mbr=true#playerurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.usanetwork.com%2Fgraceland%2Fvideos%2Fno-old-tigers

3. Turn it into this:

http://link.theplatform.com/s/HNK2IC/dCwDTq4xVrLF?format=Script

4. And now you can access the closed captions.

feldego,

Not just the closed captions, but how would someone from USAnetworks capture the stream of episodes?

I was talking about video not subtitles.

I know. I was curious though how to download the videos. Can you share how that is done from usanetworks.com?

They blocked non-token access. The token is generated by the link.theplatform.com/s/ url and that's only loaded when you're logged in.

OK, I have access to the site to log in. What would be the procedure?
