guessing rtmpe url of MTV.com

[6SzRqd0DiTqlKcx]

Hi there

Does anyone know how the MTV URLs are usually constructed?

I'm trying to guess the url of a show which says it's no longer available, however I suspect/hope that it might be still on their servers since every file related to the video is still there (snapshots, description, etc)

here are unavailable Crystal Castles interviews on MTV Subterranean I'd like to get to see:

http://www.mtv.com/videos/interview/...-process.jhtml
http://www.mtv.com/videos/interview/...-suicide.jhtml
http://www.mtv.com/videos/interview/...etallica.jhtml
http://www.mtv.com/videos/interview/...usicians.jhtml
http://www.mtv.com/videos/interview/...r-albums.jhtml

looking at another video from the same show to see how the URLs look like:

http://www.mtv.com/videos/misc/39729...ew-album.jhtml

rtmpe://cp10740.edgefcs.net/ondemand/mtvcomstor/_!/mtv.com/onair/subterranean/mt_sub_depeche_mode_rt169271_s2_448x336_650.flv


and another one:

http://www.mtv.com/videos/interview/...gwriting.jhtml

rtmpe://cp10740.edgefcs.net/ondemand/mtvcomstor/_!/mtv2.com/onair/subterranean/young_veins/m2_subterranean_tyv_rt212307_beingasongwriter_384x216_450.mp4


all the other parts I could try and guess but where does the number in bold come from?

any help would be appreciated.

You're good - how did you figure out the missing variables?

[6SzRqd0DiTqlKcx]

You made my day, thanks a lot synopeas!!!

Would you post a little tutorial about how you got it?


EDIT:

did you manage to download 100% complete?

for me all the parts got cut off at some point..

To ensure you get complete downloads use this as an example: -

rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://cp21595.edgefcs.net/ondemand/mtvcomstor/_!/mtv.com/onair/subterranean/vh_sub_rt212097_s4_768x432_1700.mp4" -W "http://media.mtvnservices.com/player/release/?v=4.11" -o vh_sub_rt212097_s4_768x432_1700.flv -V

To get the download urls, use this as a template: -

_http://intl.esperanto.mtvi.com/www/xml/media/mediaGen.jhtml?uri=mgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.co.uk% 3A******

Replace the 6 asterisks at the end with the 6 digits from the web page url and put that in your browser. e.g. -

_http://intl.esperanto.mtvi.com/www/xml/media/mediaGen.jhtml?uri=mgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.co.uk% 3A573382

[synopeas]

I only downloaded one but it was complete:-

rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://cp21595.edgefcs.net/ondemand/mtvcomstor/_!/mtv.com/onair/subterranean/vh_sub_rt212097_s4_768x432_1700.mp4" -W "http://media.mtvnservices.com/player/release/?v=4.11" -o vh_sub_rt212097_s4_768x432_1700.flv -V

[6SzRqd0DiTqlKcx]

it looks complete enough, but it says try resuming.
do you get the same result?

[synopeas]

Yes, that's what I get too.

I think the important bit of the message is this: -

DEBUG: Got Play.Complete or Play.Stop from server. Assuming stream is complete
