I even tried changing the user agent to mac os + safari, because I thought that hulu might give me m3u8 links for this config. But, looks like it doesn't.

I'm more interested in decrypting the mp4's anyway because they are higher quality.

I have tried,but, you can't do it. Because when the mp4 is streamed, as you can see in the ismlinks, that there is a time period attached to the file. So, each mp4 file is served with certain amount of time and is valid only for that period of time. It's useless after that. As the file is discarded or something.

I don't think you can make the mp4 files work.

I think ismdownloader crashes because it can't access the Manifest.

on another device I get separate videoa and audio mp4s with tokens in the URL, but the files are encrypted.

When sniffing traffic from a different device, I can see the URLs with the actual video and audio files (1 file for each), and I can download them directly but they are encrypted. That's what I meant by seeking to decrypt the mp4s.

Yea, I understand what you mean. I've already tried all of that. You can't decrypt the files, that's what I am saying. Besides, how do you suppose to download each and every mp4..? It's too much of a work. I know some people use rtmpdump for it. Because someone told me that they do know how to use rtmpdump for hulu. But, they didn't tell me how. I guess they don't want their way to get out in public or spread it.

not 1 for for each fragment, 1 final video file and 1 final audio file. Video would be 1GB+ and audio around 60mb or so. I'm sure it can be done, but like you said, the methods are not disclosed publicly. I'm hoping someone drops me a PM one of these days

I can't even get a link by using GetFLV, the video doesn't play in its browser, and GetFLV crashes on startup mostly... (Using Win8.1)
Additionally I'm using tvunblock.com as I'm not in US. Does this matter?

Yeah. Don't use any kind of VPN/Poxy and then try to access the website via getFLV. In the DNS settings, make it 'obtain automatically' and then try. Should work.
