Help downloading graduation video from Uplynk player?

[andymosh]

I am wanting to download a graduation video and I'm having a bit of trouble, this is the site where the video is displayed:

http://content.uplynk.com/player/5Sr...MQmPcTZsa.html

I check the network tab in Chrome dev tools and see a few requests, there's an m3u8 file which has a few other m3u8 files in there for different quality settings I imagine.

I eventually got to using ffmpeg (i'm on mac using homebrew) and I ran:

ffmpeg -i "http://content-ause2.uplynk.com/0f5f1ad03b48418eb085efef494426f5/g.m3u8?cid=0f5f1ad03b48418eb085efef494426f5&oid=8ab72384e3aa4ceb8e59b5d2af64e262&exp=1441965617&rn=2970515137&tc=1&ct=a&sig=422fc610d44b535ca11f435af9ae7a770df10ff2ab735788b8c8ab6ebf60af64&ad.cping=1&pbs=6efd45ea4baf4ae89702fbfc68bd8ddd" -c copy graduation.mp4

and it returned:



now as for the key, I had another look at the requests in the Network and there is this...

https://content-ause4.uplynk.com/che... 02c3c94c4c55

which might be a key? I'm not entirely sure.

If anyone could help me download this I'd be eternally grateful!

Seems you didn't grab the first m3u8 -- it worked for me doing this:

ffmpeg -i "http://content-ause3.uplynk.com/0f5f1ad03b48418eb085efef494426f5.m3u8?cid=0f5f1ad03b48418eb085efef494426f5&oid=8ab72384e3aa4ceb8e59b5d2af64e262&exp=1441976007&rn=2720210071&tc=1&ct=a&sig=aa802ee2cd5105201c68ce3bb7bd358da7472083c462821813daf1ac20e196ec&ad.cping=1&referer=content.uplynk.com" -c copy grad.ts

I ran the same command and got a

"HTTP error 400 Bad Request"

It wouldn't have anything to do with me running ffmpeg on mac would it?

Edit: I ran the command on my windows machine and got the same 400 request?

because you can't use the same code
you need use your own code

you can find your own code in the source page code

you must be fast, because the code expires in 30 seconds

yeah i ran it on ffmpeg and got the stream downloading then went to try in livestreamer and it had already expired.

Ah okay, I have to apologize it's the first time I've had to do anything like this, thank-you both for your help, just to clarify it is the url in the requests here:



I noticed in slim94's url there is "&referer=content.uplynk.com" at the end where I can't find it in this URL.

Edit: It seems to be working!



Will ffmpeg choose the best quality stream by default or do I need to specify some options for that? Thanks again the both of you, life savers!
