Help with HBO Now video?

(http://stream-recorder.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20285)

Re: Help with HBO Now video?

Oh wells.
Thank you peterpan and bulls95 for trying to help :)

Re: Help with HBO Now video?

thanks for the info guys

Re: Help with HBO Now video?

Atresdownloader might work here.

It claimed to have downloaded 100 percent of the mp4 from this hbonow stream http://hlsvod-l3c.med3.hbonow.com/hl...primetime.m3u8 - unfortunately it never manages to create the file. However that might be because I'm trying with an expired link.

I'm happy to try but you can get Atresdownloader from here:

http://www.videohelp.com/download/a3toMP4v17.3F.exe

If you can find the m3u8 link for your video you can paste it in to Atresdownloader's url bar, hit the magnyfying glass search icon and it should come up with what it thinks is a number of valid .mp4 links in different qualities.

but crypt-1.key file in the temp folder showed

Code:

****.hbonow.com - 404 Not Found

When it reached 100% all of the working items were deleted and there was no output video to be found. I tried again with a different source I've had troubles downloading from and the final result was the same. It downloaded to 100%, said it was muxing m3u8, then all working files were deleted and no output file remained.

I downloading the P version it prompts you to download, ignoring the warning messages on launch

and tried again But there is no change. It downloads the fragments and deletes them when it thinks it pieced them back together.

Re: Help with HBO Now video?

Damn. I'm sorry to have wasted your time and raised your hopes. Not sure if the .php/Adobe HDS errors have anything to do with it though.

You've probably tried other tools too but I'm still willing to try with the set of common tools that I have.

Re: Help with HBO Now video?

The only other thing I would try then is Internet Download Manager. Good luck.
