How to download stream from Yahoo Screen?

[BillyKid7]

Hey there. This thread has been immensely helpful and I think I'm managing to download the 720p stream of this show:

https://screen.yahoo.com/barenaked-l...130000295.html

I have tried a number of different ways, though and I haven't been able to locate or sniff out a 1080p URL

Also, as to the comment from the user wondering if things have changed, I tried to cap the concert from a whole new location - new ip, new computer and the show still started playing in the middle of the concert. I am wondering if yahoo just loops the thing now instead of feeding you from the start of the show (and where you left off).

So i'm trying to time the start of my recording with the start of the concert loop... hopefully I am successful.

Any help with the 1080p URL would be greatly appreciated - don't know if anyone will see this today - it's a 24hr loop that I assume will be over this evening.

Edit: missed a few of the posts on the last page so perhaps, because it's live streaming, there is no 1080p right now until clips get posted for later viewing? If anyone can find a 1080p url by the end of the day though, by all means, I would appreciate it. Cheers.

Thanks, I downloaded livestreamer and pasted that code into the command prompt and looks like it's working.

How big are these files usually? There's no time shown in the video.

edit:
Was up to 14 GBs and still downloading.

I cancelled it. Opened the file and it seems like it was on loop.

yahoo loops their videos. you can use ffmpeg to trim (e.g. -ss or -to or -t) the original file down to the whatever size or length you want.

example:
ffmpeg -i originalfilename.ts -acodec copy -vcodec copy -ss 00:01:00 -to 02:00:00 newfilename.ts

-ss trim to start time
-t option specifies a duration - not an end time
-to in order to end at a specified time

It seems that Yahoo is wise to the method of searching for .m3u8 in the source code - I can't locate the URL to the Chicago / Earth Wind & Fire show from last night.

Anyone know of a workaround?

I've been going crazy trying to figure this out for a while now and would really like to get this Yahoo Jill Scott concert. It was amazing. I've gone through this thread and others and downloaded many different programs trying to figure it out and can't seem to get it to work. Any help at all would be so very much appreciated more than you know.
