ok, so I found a video on the site that does NOT require a login. This particular video works the same way, but it currently does not require a cable provider login so it is a perfect example to try.
Code:
Streaming Video Link: http://www.usanetwork.com/benched/videos/pilot
Code:
Master.m3u8 (with token): https://tve_usa-vh.akamaihd.net/i/prod/video/7/255/141009_2818096_Pilot_anvver_2_,25,40,18,12,7,4,2,00.mp4.csmil/master.m3u8?b=&__b__=1000&hdnea=st=1413516136~exp=1413516196~acl=/i/prod/video/7/255/141009_2818096_Pilot_anvver_2_*~id=83fcc01d-181a-471b-8a50-fd8844733141~hmac=33ed8e7fad93d0404f2d8f0e5c011b554729b9e9baffe2dd30baa5a452990f1c
Code:
1080p m3u8 link (with token): https://tve_usa-vh.akamaihd.net/i/prod/video/7/255/141009_2818096_Pilot_anvver_2_,25,40,18,12,7,4,2,00.mp4.csmil/index_1_av.m3u8?null=&id=AgDGBz7Mpf71PZiLQFTZsg81Pc76XXmm4v%2f9Iw9sZvtOGxnT%2foH0ckq4XLNYQ37xAeZNeZ82S4NxLw%3d%3d&hdntl=exp=1413602584~acl=%2fi%2fprod%2fvideo%2f7%2f255%2f141009_2818096_Pilot_anvver_2_*~data=hdntl~hmac=cb672bc668ec20c5cecfeb3e97f0abdca79e1dd903074d5e54122f12659b550b
So I open up ffmpeg and run the following command:
Code:
ffmpeg -i "https://tve_usa-vh.akamaihd.net/i/prod/video/7/255/141009_2818096_Pilot_anvver_2_,25,40,18,12,7,4,2,00.mp4.csmil/index_1_av.m3u8?null=&id=AgDGBz7Mpf71PZiLQFTZsg81Pc76XXmm4v%2f9Iw9sZvtOGxnT%2foH0ckq4XLNYQ37xAeZNeZ82S4NxLw%3d%3d&hdntl=exp=1413602584~acl=%2fi%2fprod%2fvideo%2f7%2f255%2f141009_2818096_Pilot_anvver_2_*~data=hdntl~hmac=cb672bc668ec20c5cecfeb3e97f0abdca79e1dd903074d5e54122f12659b550b" -c copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc "Benched.mp4"
However I end up with an "HTTP Error 403 Forbidden" error message which results in the "Input/Output Error".
Again, anyone should be able to access this particular video, and obtain the m3u8 files, WITHOUT the need to login.
I just need help figuring out why it will not download.
Thanks in advance.
