Get FLV records stream but it won't play or convert

Get FLV records stream but it won't play or convert


 
I've been trying to record some video streams with GET FLV. It picks up the streams ok and downloads a movie sized file, but it when I try and play it with VLC I get the message:

No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "undf". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.

Google suggests trying CCCP codec pack, but that didn't work. Media info only reports the file size and name, its as if there is not video there, yet the files are huge.

Any ideas?

Any ideas on this? I appear to have a movie sized .flv file on my computer, but nothing seems to play it or detect any video in it.

They are m3u8 streams.

Would this be encrypted in some way?

use ffmpeg to retreive video from m3u8 link

ffmpeg -i "link.m3u8" -c copy "output.ts"

Thanks for your reply.

I've given this a go, and got this error:

Still getting this. I emailed GET FLV, but haven't had a reply from them. Can anyone help?

I get the same result. The file produced is 617MB but is not playable. It is probably encrypted. There is no key in seaburners.m3u8, so whatever player the site uses must get a key from another source, or the player otherwise understands the format of the file.

Thanks for trying! I'm quite new to all of this. Does this mean its the end of the road regarding that site, or is there someway of find the "key" or decrypting it?

Re: Get FLV records stream but it won't play or convert


 
I don't really know what I'm looking for, but I found this code on the page:

function pausePlayer() {
getFlexApp("videoplayer").pause();

Not sure if that's any help or not? I have very little understanding of this. Is it likely to be any solution to this problem?

Problem is, it's a subscription site, and is only open to industry professionals. You might be able to register and play trailers for free though. Try this page, if it accepts your registration, you will see another tab Extras, and there will be a trailer there:

I tried to make this as an attachment, but i was over the file size limit, and also is over the limit to cut & paste into this thread. I'll try PM'ing you it.
