How to Capture stream of NBCOlympics.com

Re: How to Capture stream of NBCOlympics.com

 

I use Pale Moon but Firefox will also work.

Tools, Web Developer, Web Console

You need to open the Command Prompt (Start Menu, Programs, Accessories).

Then change directory to where ffmpeg.exe is located

Then run command to download

Please let it be very clear that I am not going more in to depth on this. You are asking about the very basics of the command line, something you should have learned long ago.

Oh my god. This is exactly what I was looking for. Now I just need to figure out how to automate my downloads so I can download a list of stuff overnight. I don't think it'll work because there is an expiration on the URL.

I'll save a link and try it tomorrow.

Just to add if you want to watch the stream live with ffmpeg you use ffplay........

Big Thank You again to svnpenn!

Works beautifully!

I download and extracted ffmpeg. When I try to open it with Command it didnt work. I type the "cd download". I am not sure which of the youtube address to select. It sometimes is in .swf format and has many different ping numbers. If someone would kindly give me step by step instructions I would be glad. PM me I am not very computer centric. Thanks.

ffmpg seems to work, but it's wicked slow.

not ideal for long videos.

(thanks nevertheless).

I registered just to say thanks svnpenn. Amazing 1080p quality

It's disappointing that there is no program out there that will download these files as just one single big file. Instead, it downloads it as a bunch of fragments of files. Extremely frustrating.

Hey, thanks for this.

However, I don't live in the US and am having trouble. I've bought a subscription to a VPN so I can access NBCOlympics, but I don't know if it's because I only have a VPN or what, but I am unable to download a full stream in 1080p.

Tried it and it stopped capturing after 1GB.

Do you know if there's a way I can resume the download? If not, if there's a way to capture the stream in parts (like maybe, every 30 minutes or maybe by every 500 MB, etc.) so that there's a lower risk of failure?

If you have a VPN, would you be able to check out european streaming sites (I think it's eurovisionsports.tv) and see if you can find a way for us to download the streams that way? Because the european sites don't use Youtube and I can't find the .m3u8 link when I try to do what your guide needs us to do.

Thanks again. In the meantime, I'll try again and see if I can finish downloading a stream.
