How to download from this site? (RTMP links are gone)

How to download from this site? (RTMP links are gone)

Code:

hxxp://teamfourstar.com/video/history-trunks-preview-sub-standard-living-conditions/

I used to be able to sniff out RTMP links of all of this site's videos, but something must have changed because I no longer see any RTMP links.

I'm using URL Snooper v2.37.01.

Re: How to download from this site? (RTMP links are gone)

Ah I see it now. Thanks!! Aw man, they changed it so videos now must be downloaded in chunks then stitched together. :(

Re: How to download from this site? (RTMP links are gone)

Thanks again. I didn't know that was a thing. I'm still learning, as you can see.

Is there an equivalent "hlsvariant" command in FFmpeg?

Code:

with ffmpeg choose your quality

Re: How to download from this site? (RTMP links are gone)

Got it, I think. I chose the highest quality:

Code:

http://174.127.103.124/vod/_definst_/smil:TeamFourStar-54dfcfeeb3a1c.smil/chunklist_w973557741_b1650000.m3u8

So:

Code:

ffmpeg -i "http://174.127.103.124/vod/smil:TeamFourStar-54dfcfeeb3a1c.smil/play

list.m3u8" "http://174.127.103.124/vod/_definst_/smil:TeamFourStar-54dfcfeeb3a1c

.smil/chunklist_w973557741_b1650000.m3u8" -c copy video.ts

It seemed to work fine. The resulting file looks great. But I got a strange message:

Code:

[hls,applehttp @ 0000000000399dc0] No longer receiving playlist 1

[hls,applehttp @ 0000000000399dc0] No longer receiving playlist 2

frame=  547 fps=190 q=29.0 q=-1.0 size=N/A time=00:00:18.52 bitrate=N/A dup=300

etc........

Should I be concerned about that red line?

Re: How to download from this site? (RTMP links are gone)

try just

Code:

ffmpeg -i "http://174.127.103.124/vod/_definst_/smil:TeamFourStar-54dfcfeeb3a1c.smil/chunklist_w973557741_b1650000.m3u8" -c copy video.ts

Re: How to download from this site? (RTMP links are gone)

Clearly I am a noob. :) Thanks again, biezom. I repped your post.

Re: How to download from this site? (RTMP links are gone)

I noticed this as well with ffmpeg when playing a manifest file.

It seems to just pick the fastest stream and never tries to get a higher quality playlist once its dropped the other playlists.

Is there anyway to use a manifest.m3u8 as input and have ffmpeg try to play the best stream given the current bandwidth, and re-access as it plays so its constantly trying to play the best one at any given period?

I know I can just play the individual playlist from the manifest, but I was hoping for some kind of auto-quality detection using ffmpeg...my bandwidth conditions change erratically.
