How to Capture stream of NBCOlympics.com

[streamer]

svnpenn, I'm trying to save a different video off of nbcolympics.com. The video is here.

I opened up the Web Console like you said, and there are tons of youtube URLs so I don't know which one to use for ffmpeg. The URL you used for that other video started with "http://www.youtube.com/api/manifest/hls_playlist/" and ended with "/file/index.m3u8", but I don't see any similar URLs for the video I'm interested in. Any ideas what URL I should use?

Thanks for all the help. FFMpeg is working like a charm capturing beach volleyball. Just one question, how do i capture the 1080p or 720p stream? Default seems to be 420p at 640x360.

What is correct setting to capture full 1080p?

Also, can I pause stream on NBC site and will FFMpeg continue to capture?

Thanks for all of your help.

• Start Firefox
• Open web console (CTRL-SHIFT-K)
• Optional - Unselect CSS, JS, & Logging on the menu bar
• Type in "m3u8" in the filter on top right
• Start the video you want to see
• Click the gear icon on bottom right of video and select the quality you want (typically 1080) and you'll see a new m3u8 file appear
• Use this URL for the "-i" option of ffmpeg

Whatever you're doing in Firefox is not associated with what you're streaming in ffmpeg. You can completely close firefox, watch different video, download multiple videos, etc.

Hello guys, May i ask you where (what folder) does it exactly save the downloaded video file?

Thanks.

Hi,

My downloads always cut off before the end. I've tried using -ss position (input/output) to start capturing where the download left off but it doesn't seem to be working.

Anybody know how to either resume the incomplete download or to capture the stream starting from a certain time (so all I would need to do is join all the pieces together once I get everything)?

Thanks.

MrPaul,

I have this link:

http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/gym...und-final.html

the filter doesn't return anything, is it in different format? I tried to copy a couple of the multitude of links but the ffmpeg returns error. Would appreciate a lot any help.

Anybody have an answer to this? If I try to grab anything longer than an hour, ffmpeg will eventually bomb out with a 404.
