Help me please...or teach me

I'm trying to download this game off watchespn site

espn.go.com/watchespn/player/_/id/2808259/size/condensed/

I have tried the livestreamer and url snopper2 steps but I get no links when I add in the Must Contain url...I'm a complete noob to this but I think I followed those steps correctly from this thread here http://stream-recorder.com/forum/any...-t19889p5.html

Re: Help me please...or teach me

This works for me. You must be missing something. But this worked for me. Use adblock pro in firefox. look for content.uplynk. Look for a url like in my code below, paste it between

Code:

livestreamer "hlsvariant://" best -o name.ts

Should be good to go.

Code:

livestreamer "hlsvariant://http://content.uplynk.com/ext/d09b16c953aa40c98dd8c513526aca5a/a99115788.m3u8?exp=1461288739&ptid=ESPN3_Events_VDMS&rn=156314263&tc=1&oid=d09b16c953aa40c98dd8c513526aca5a&linearv=4&eid=a99115788&euid=ESPN3_VDMS&ct=a&sig=f1b65f75d375a9f91ec6f0e28420b8a26a0823059133d3a46cfd4cfbda0f0fca" best -o name.ts

From my Terminal windows:

Code:

livestreamer "hlsvariant://http://content.uplynk.com/ext/d09b16c953aa40c98dd8c513526aca5a/a99115788.m3u8?exp=1461288739&ptid=ESPN3_Events_VDMS&rn=156314263&tc=1&oid=d09b16c953aa40c98dd8c513526aca5a&linearv=4&eid=a99115788&euid=ESPN3_VDMS&ct=a&sig=f1b65f75d375a9f91ec6f0e28420b8a26a0823059133d3a46cfd4cfbda0f0fca" best -o name.ts

Re: Help me please...or teach me

Okay... Could you please write down the steps because this is the first I heard of Adblock Pro

Just use Firefox.
Search addons for Firefox, search for Ad-Block Plus.
Install Addon, Ad-Block Plus.
Use Addon, choose "Open Blockable Items"
Start video from WatchEspn you want.
In Ad-Block Plus, in the search box, type content.uplynk
This will give you the url you need to paste within:

Code:

livestreamer "hlsvariant://" best -o nameOfFile.ts

As I stated before.
If you have livestreamer installed and working. Paste resulted url plus code above into Terminal (for Macintosh) or cmd window (Windows).

I'm using a Macintosh, so can't be much help with Windows, but everything with the process is the same either way. If that does not work, you are doing something wrong, but those are the steps, and also the steps I tried and work.

Re: Help me please...or teach me

Okay I got it working on PC THANK YOU THANK YOU!! Now will it download the best stream automatically or is there something I have to enter? (it started downloading on its on because I didn't know what to put in) like do I type 720p then enter etc?

Re: Help me please...or teach me

I downloaded it, a 3.2 gb file but when I click to view it nothing, it just says connecting and the spinning wheel I can't even right click on the file it just spins until the computer doesn't respond...I was trying to play it in VLC...I left the file name as "nameOfFile.ts" does that make a difference? (edit: okay I answered this question, on PC use SimplyPlayer and Quicktime on Mac)

And I just got it downloading on my Mac had to install something called "PyCrypto" so I'm going to see how it turns out on the Mac.

edit: Okay the Mac was a lot faster to download but playing it in Quicktime Player the picture gets blurred/pixelated every few seconds anyway to fix that?

edit: could this method be used to capture live links also?
