CBS,ABC,FOX,NBC free episodes online early?

Is there any possibility that they put the new episodes up early, but just keep the url hidden and not post the link to it? I know it is not very likely that the episodes are online early and just hidden, but if there was a way to find out that would be awesome. How would I be able to find out if the episodes get put online early?

Re: CBS,ABC,FOX,NBC free episodes online early?

You may analyze the URLs of your streams and try to find some patterns. In some cases only the episode number changes. However I don't really record a lot of free episoded from CBS, ABC, FOX, NBC, so I can't tell you anything else about it.

If you send me the list of URLs I will try to analyze them.

I found a great website that has a lot of links to cbs shows. http://onlinetvindex.com/ It has all the links to season 7 of CSI, so if there is anything in common with the url's it would be easy to find out the url for season 8 episodes.

The only problem with OnlineTVIndex is that it provides metafiles and after clicking on the URLs non-US residents can't get access to the streams.

Re: CBS,ABC,FOX,NBC free episodes online early?

What other url's do you need? Also, is there a way to find an index of the metafiles?

Re: CBS,ABC,FOX,NBC free episodes online early?

I need the URLs that are in the metafiles, the real stream URLs.
The problems is that they use ads, so they split episodes onto several pieces.

Re: CBS,ABC,FOX,NBC free episodes online early?

My second post did have the direct url's to the episodes. Four links, and those link play without the ads.

Re: CBS,ABC,FOX,NBC free episodes online early?

sometimes they post new videos and just dont link it yet
i've seen it happen on http://tombraider.gametap.com/
but i have not seen it happen on http://www.adultswim.com
so it depends from site to site.

heres what was in metafile link #1

it is possible to find the metafile links sometimes.
again it depends on the site.

some sites use xml files to generate playlists, some sites use javascript
run urlsnooper or other program and download all files that are loaded when you access the site, then read each one with a text editor to see if you find any playlist/metafile lists.

Re: CBS,ABC,FOX,NBC free episodes online early?

I dont think that there is an early telecast online
