How do i download the m3u8 file from starsports video?

I need to download the m3u8 file of this video.

http://www.starsports.com/cricket/vi...ope/index.html

How can i do that?

Since livestreamer does not work on some videos i searched and found another method but for that i need to download the m3u8 file first.

Thanks.

Re: How do i download the m3u8 file from starsports video?

I hate damn india proxy. Anyway is easy, with the network monitor of chrome or firefox search for the manifest.f4m. Copy the URL on notepad, replace z with i and manifest.f4m with master.m3u8
That's all

Code:

#EXTM3U

#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=241000,RESOLUTION=320x180,CODECS="avc1.66.30, mp4a.40.2"

#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=461000,RESOLUTION=416x234,CODECS="avc1.66.30, mp4a.40.2"

#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=862000,RESOLUTION=640x360,CODECS="avc1.66.30, mp4a.40.2"

#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=1360000,RESOLUTION=720x404,CODECS="avc1.66.30, mp4a.40.2"

#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=2066000,RESOLUTION=1280x720,CODECS="avc1.66.30, mp4a.40.2"

#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=61000,CODECS="mp4a.40.2"

The m3u8 isn't encrypted so you can use also ffmpeg

@terenz: Already know this replacing method but it gives 403 error in livestreamer and both ffmpeg :confused:

Could you please tell me the exact command on how to download the m3u8 file?

Also how do you get the #EXTM3U code? If i am not wrong it is inside the m3u8 file while you open in notepad after downloading isn't it?

Thanks.

Re: How do i download the m3u8 file from starsports video?

Also there is another issue which i dont know what i am doing wrong.

It works with this video:
http://www.starsports.com/cricket/vi...469/index.html

What i do is get the manifest using network tools in chrome.

Code:

http://ssvodasp-vh.akamaihd.net/z/videos/vod/cricket/ipl2016/25_04_2016/635971397084377399/635971397084377399_,180,400,800,1300,2000,_STAR.mp4.csmil/manifest.f4m?hdnea=st=1465498905~exp=1465498950~acl=/*~hmac=73b7303f85e24b43d6636b829eed1f52770069e2a0b78110cbff9d092590fff3&hdcore=2.11.3&g=SHFOJSWKRVEZ

After that copy the @bold part of the manifest and replace z with i.

Then i run this command in livestreamer:

Code:

livestreamer "hls://ssvodasp-vh.akamaihd.net/i/videos/vod/cricket/ipl2016/25_04_2016/635971397084377399/635971397084377399_,180,400,800,1300,2000,_STAR.mp4.csmil/index_4_av.m3u8?null=0" best -o 01.ts

The video starts downloading perfectly but But if i repeat the same process with this video http://www.starsports.com/cricket/vi...ope/index.html
it does not work.

Any reason for that?

Re: How do i download the m3u8 file from starsports video?

For download the master.m3u8 you need ALL the URL, not only the bold part so also hdnea, exp, hmac etc. i have say you need to trim the string? Or take only partially? No, just replace some part. The #EXTM3U code? I have download the master.m3u8 for the video you have posted and just open it for let you see that it's work

It will be really great if you tell me the process how you downloaded the m3u8. Sorry for pestering you too much.

I have tell you the process...take the URL of the f4m, replace some part, paste in the browser and download the file. You have to do before the manifest expire so fast as possible just after load first seconds of the video, nothing else o any hidden magic things.
