ATTENTION: - NBC Olympics
Excellent YouTube video on how to use AdobeHDS.php
This works TERRIFIC on the NBC Olympics content.
Keep in mind, you have to do a 3 step process to get what you want from the NBC Olympics site.
1.) Download Video fragments into "one file" (thanks to AdobeHDS.php)
2.) Download Audio fragments into "one file" (thanks to AdobeHDS.php)
3.) Use FFMPEG to merge the new Video File & Audio File into one file, that way you have video & sound in the same file.
*FFMPEG merges it into sync.
The audio is perfectly timed just right with the video.

Supplement what you learn from that YouTube link with the excellent post from ehurdler on the first page of this thread:

It will take a little while to learn how to do this, with practice.
Once you learn how, it becomes a fluid process that is quite enjoyable but tedious obviously.
1.) I can honestly download a 3 hour NBC Olympic
Video file (from all the fragments with AdobeHDS.php) in about one hour, for a "1080p full high definition" quality (this is NBC's 7,000 quality version, 7,000 being the bit rate). 3 hour video is downloaded in one hour. That's 3 times faster than the length of the video.
2.) I can download the
Audio file from all the fragments for a 3 hour NBC Olympics video in less than 5 minutes.
3.) I can then use FFMPEG to merge the Video & Audio file into one file in less than 5 minutes.
4.) I still have to delete all the 2,000+ fragments after all of this is done. This takes about 2 or 3 minutes to scroll through with your mouse, highlight them all, delete them, and then empty the recycling bin, etc.
*Total time involved for a 3 hour NBC Olympics video in 1080p = 75 minutes or so, for all 4 of these steps combined.
*IMPORTANT* - Please note, you must use Firefox (not Google Chrome), and you must download and enable
HDS Link Detector in Firefox and have it enabled at all times when pulling up the NBC Olympics video that you want to capture. It will then pop up with the exact "Manifest link" that you need, and all you need to do is click that link, copy and paste it, and work from there in command prompt using the command prompt codes that ehurdler mentioned on the first page of this thread.
Happy hunting.
