Need some help or guidance on downloading this stream...

[nastypasty]

Hi guys,

I feel like I've tried everything, and maybe it's not event possible, but I'm attempting to download the following stream:
http://www.mitele.es/programas-tv/pa...98b4908/player

I can see it's hosted on the AkamaiHD network, and have been using Chrome's developer tools to watch the URL's being accessed.
There seems to be a regular verify XHR call then followed by a few XHR's which appear to be TS video segments. I can take one of those URLs and download a very small part of the video, however I'm struggling to find a way to download them all and combine them; maybe someone here has seen something similar (I did search the forums but maybe my choice of words are wrong).

Here is the verify call:

As you can see there seems to be an X-Verify header, which I suppose is then used in some way for the segment requests.

This would then be a sample segment URL:

http://miteleooyala-vh.akamaihd.net/...7c11084f865543


Any help, or guidance on software of scripts that could help would be much appreciated.
P.S. I'm using macOS.

Thanks guys,

Cheers,

Hi,

just look for the master m3u8 link in browser console and have a look into its content and there you can see diffrent streamlinks (6 in your case) with diffrent resolutions etc.Just pick on of them like the HD one and now you can use this link with Streamlink tool to watch or download all segments into one file.Just try this.

streamlink.exe -ldebug HLS://http://miteleooyala-vh.akamaihd.net/i/...../index_2_av.m3u8?null=0 best -o 12345.mp4

So for this links inside the playlist you dont need to have any special access like to master playlist itself.

@troller12 thank you so so much! You're a legend!

I was getting close (I had found the master.m3u8), but just wasn't sure where to go from there. I'm now going to script something to grab the master.m3u8 and try to automate the download now that I've managed to obtain one!

For anyone interested.
This stream was using ooyala.com and akamaihd.net. I manually installed streamlink from https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink for macOS Sierra:
$ git clone https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink
$ cd streamlink
$ sudo python setup.py install

I used Firefox developer tools to find the master.m3u8 file, and from there selected the link with the highest resolution.

I used the command template:
$ streamlink -o program1.mp4 <URL-from-master.m3u8> best

Example:
$ streamlink -o 12345.mp4 hls://http://miteleooyala-vh.akamaihd.net/i/Qwamx0OTE62SLwd9n6uEIsG2AAnZUHZI/,DOcJ-FxaFrRg4gtDEwOjkzOjBhOwBM4Z,DOcJ-FxaFrRg4gtDEwOm84OjBrOz0bxa,DOcJ-FxaFrRg4gtDEwOjEwYjowODE7je,DOcJ-FxaFrRg4gtDEwOjFsaTowODE7WX,DOcJ-FxaFrRg4gtDEwOjI5cDowODE7AZ,DOcJ-FxaFrRg4gtDEwOjRpOmc3O_GF-z,.csmil/index_4_av.m3u8?null=0 best

@nastypasty,

Have you tried Video DownloadHelper add-on for Firefox? I think it's an easy way to get urls, m3u8 or to download.

@nasty
Use youtube-dl. It gives you mp4 download. No need to be messing around with m3u8 nonsense.

Thanks @JonDough and @lajvguy for the suggestions!

Much easier! Never knew such plugins/apps existed!
