Downloading with AdobeHDS (access denied)

[mrswhite]

Hi there

I'm trying to download a stream from the SNL site. I was able to tell that they use f4m kind of streaming, and that's why I'm using adobehds which has always worked.

However I'm getting access denied. The manifest is:

http://nbcmpx-vh.akamaihd.net/z/video/381/803/141209_2833378_SNL_Host_Martin_Freeman_and_Kate_McKinnon_Ha_mpx_,1696,1296,896,696,496,306,240,150,64,.mp4.csmil/manifest.f4m?hdnea=st=1418223576~exp=1418224506~acl=/*~id=347f8eba-55fa-46c8-aeb5-044e5515e9be~hmac=759963f7f301ab3b4e2045514a07db1866b93f1a3b4f7a48c568a2b553081d52

Can you give me a hand? I tried adding a referrer (which I got using wireshark), but still... i can't get it.

Thank you!

I'm not sure if this is what you want (a 2.33min clip), but next time post the exact link of the video you want to download...

Oh Gosh I didnt include the link!! I'm so sorry! I always do. I was so frustrated after trying so many things!

Your command line was very interesting, I didn't think about adding the user agent. I will add that to my "things to try before i ask" next time. Maybe that's why it's denying the access... cause it doesn't detect it's coming from an actual browser. WOW.

Thank you VERY MUCH!!

With flash disabled, IDM will detect http mp4 url. If you can't run IDM, watch for theplatform call for the http mp4 links.

I've got the same question/problem. AdobeHDS hasn't worked for me on NBC.com in months/years.

I tried using the above syntax as a guide, and tried to add parameters for --auth and --useragent, but it still says Access Denied.

Can anyone tell me how to use AdobeHDS for nbc.com videos? I've also tried Livestreamer on nbc.com but I don't think it's supported. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

it works with livestreamer too with the 'pvswf' parameter to verify the SWF
