Re: Rai.tv - how capture streaming and download video on demand

I would want to say, using ISM Downloader!! It's made for downloading Microsoft Smooth Streams!! but unfortunately It doesn't support AVC1 codec!! Your vid use that codec:

Code:

 <?xml version="1.0" ?> 

- <SmoothStreamingMedia MajorVersion="2" MinorVersion="0" Duration="35980000000" TimeScale="10000000">

The only things that I have seen before in this forum, RMC 4.0.7 seems to work!!

Re: Rai.tv - how capture streaming and download video on demand

with RMC 4.0.7 work ???
and with RMC 4.3.2 not work ????

strange :confused:

I do not find the 4.0.7 :mad: :mad: :mad:

Re: Rai.tv - how capture streaming and download video on demand

In the past, I have read (someone said) RMC 4.0.7 could download and downloaded file is OK!! Try 4.0.8!! Not so different!!

and don't be surprised!! for example, StreamTransport 2041 works too much better than 2071!! ;)

But Look, because the stream uses specific video codec, I don't think RMC 4.0.7 can does the trick too!! Sorry!!:(
Try to contact "Applian" for this issue!!:)

Edit:
There is a way!! ;)
Try to find on the internet (if you prefer to don't buy :D), "Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 Pro (with codecs)" (view This, I mean 4th column)!! You can input AVC1 video and then convert it to anything that you want, easy!! I'm sure you can!!;)
"Input video" is, "chunks"!! Download them with this pattern:

Code:

http://smoothreplay.rai.it/ReplayTV/replaytv_raidue-isml/2012-01-25-18-57-49-783/Segment063/replaytv_raidue.ism/QualityLevels(1500000)/Fragments(video=2951018660000)

Re: Rai.tv - how capture streaming and download video on demand

Download each chunks by this pattern url for videos:
1st chunk:

Code:

http://smoothreplay.rai.it/ReplayTV/replaytv_raidue-isml/2012-01-25-18-57-49-783/Segment063/replaytv_raidue.ism/QualityLevels(1500000)/Fragments(video=2951018660000)

2nd chunk:

Code:

http://smoothreplay.rai.it/ReplayTV/replaytv_raidue-isml/2012-01-25-18-57-49-783/Segment063/replaytv_raidue.ism/QualityLevels(1500000)/Fragments(video=2951038660000)

for audios:

Code:

http://smoothreplay.rai.it/ReplayTV/replaytv_raidue-isml/2012-01-25-18-57-49-783/Segment063/replaytv_raidue.ism/QualityLevels(64000)/Fragments(audio=2951034873333)

and so on for other chunks!!

Then open them with Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 Pro and convert them!! after convert, merge them!! but first ensure that you have pro version with codecs!!

I know it's annoying to download 1800 video chunks and 1795 audio chunks, but you don't have any other way!!

Re: Rai.tv - how capture streaming and download video on demand

Hello, for the smooth streaming in AVC1, you can try this modded version: http://md5decrypt.altervista.org/ismdownloaderavc1.htm

It works pretty well!!! :)

Just for everyone's benefit, there are a couple of undocumented commandline switches for this utility (be able to use proxy, specify cookie etc.) but the most important (at least for me) is the ability to specify which quality level I want to download (if there are multiple ones in the manifest, which is actually like most of the case), so not to waste bandwidth and disk storage with 1080p quality videos, if its possible to download the 720p version instead.

In the commandline you can specifiy "-quality lowest" (without quotes of course) and it will download the lowest quality available.

Also you can specify "-quality all", and it will download all possible fragments (didnt test this, but the program can be reverse engineered using .NET reflector).

Spread the word, as there is no known documentation or at least a list of commandline switches for this utlity.
Happy downloading!
