How to download the best quality video from this link

sscomp32 · #1 10-16-2015, 08:35 AM

Hi guys, i have a question.

There are some links where the video quality that IDM detects vary according to the speed of my connection.

Is there any way to download the best quality from the links?

I dont know what software to use so have never tried.

Thank you so so much beizom. You are a superstar.

@Beizom:

Thak you so much for your help.
I am here with another Query :P
I got another site that uses brightcove.
http://www.sonyliv.com/watch/liga-bb...-ud-las-palmas

I used your method and got to an m3u8 file.
http://c.brightcove.com/services/mob...=4433447816001

Using livestreamer i started downloading the m3u8 file but it had 2 problems:

1.First the video quality was lowest, I am sure there are more video qualities because site adjusts acoording to connection, but neither youtube dL or livestreamer shows anything.

2. The audio was stuttering.

Am i doing something wrong?

Livestreamer command:
livestreamer "hlsvariant://http://c.brightcove.com/services/mobile/streaming/index/master.m3u8?videoId=4512483070001" best -o video.ts

Thanks again for the help.

396*224 is highest resolution in m3u8 ..... HD is drmed.... Biezom same method works for this too... you have to put ffmpeg and youtube-dl in same folder and run ....

Code:

youtube-dl "http://admin.brightcove.com/viewer/us20150903.1327/BrightcoveBootloader.swf?playerID=3790164400001&playerKey=AQ%7E%7E%2CAAAAjCx0tyE%7E%2C-bL-uCGnPoZ8z4eZQ6cK96mjtB1oBkyu&purl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sonyliv.com%2Fwatch%2Fliga-bbva-liga-bbva-fc-barcelona-vs-ud-las-palmas&%40videoPlayer=4512483070001&additionalAdTargetingParams=vpCategory%3D89969f4b-0941-4531-88e1-669e135d925c%26vpTags%3DLIGA+BBVA&autoStart=true&bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&debuggerID=&dynamicStreaming=true&flashID=myExperience4512483070001&height=488&htmlFallback=true&includeAPI=true&isUI=true&isVid=true&originalTemplateReadyHandler=onTemplateReady&startTime=1445230366212&templateErrorHandler=onPlayerError&templateLoadHandler=onTemplateLoaded&templateReadyHandler=brightcove%5B%22templateReadyHandlermyExperience4512483070001%22%5D&width=650&wmode=transparent"
