statickijiji have you figured this out? Or has anyone helped you? I tried the procedure above and I get the same message. I get " (403 Client Error: Forbidden)" message. Can anyone help, and provide the info back to me? Thanks

Hey Biezom, thanks for the reply. I'm totally new at this. I was just tried using the exact link you posted in an earlier post. this one:

I just wanted to test it, to see what results I would get. So i grabbed that code, opened up CMD, and entered it. So from what you are saying, a section of this code only lasts 2 minutes, and changes? I tried following the directions in your other post, about the video.settings.pid, but still had trouble. Thanks for the help either way!

hi you can't use the same code because the code is available for my ip and just for two minutes

so you need find your own code with this

IMPORTANT need US ip

like i said in this post

I guess that's the problem i'm having. I downloaded the link.theplatform.com file. When I open, it shows:

"<ref src="http://link.theplatform.com/s/errorFiles/Unavailable.mp4" title="Geographic Restriction" abstract="This content is not available in your location.".......

I don't know what to do with the file, or how to get the link I need. Sorry, I'm really new at this. Thanks!

Ahh, I'm a dummy. I was using a vpn, to access the videos originally, but I didn't think that I needed to have my vpn running, and have the video playing, before downloading that file. I assumed that it was just a file, and nothing more. But I guess it retrieves the information from the video when downloaded. Thanks Biezom, you're the best!

@ehurdler:

1. Make sure you are in the US, or have a US ip.
2. Play the video from CBS
3. Download that file provided by biezom.
4. Open the file that you just downloaded, and all of the information will be filled out.
5. Copy the link that starts with https://cbsios-vh.akamaihd.net.... (it's a long link)
6. Take that link, and paste it into this >> 7. Now grab that livestreamer link, and run it in CMD, it will start downloading on it's own.

Thanks again Biezom!

EDIT: File finished downloading, but it turned out to be the episode of "Zoo". Probably just a minor tweak, hopefully. I'll try to figure it out and post here.

You realize the discussion is about an episode of the show Zoo right?

Hey biezom,

Just trying to use the same method to download other videos.

I tried using your method of getting the "video.settings.pid" and inserting it into this But when I do this, my file looks a little different. there is no "https://cbsios-vh.akamaihd.net/i/temp_hd_gallery_video....".

This time, this pops up "rtmp://cp48590.edgefcs.net/ondemand/?auth=daEdQaTdFa5caafb4dmc4d2cmccaibyc_dD-bv1sW4-h0-G9BPdUqf&amp". They seem to be .mp4 links, but they don't work with the livestreamer code.

Any idea what i'm doing wrong? thanks!
