Question

Problems saving stream from discovery.ca


Hi Everyone,

I'm a novice at this so bear with me.

I'm attempting to download the stream for the episodes of a Canadian TV show "Canada's Worst Driver". The episodes are available on the (terrible) discovery.ca webpage, and everything uses terrible flash. I really hate this website.

anyway, I've been attempting to find the location of the mp4 files that are being served to the flash player, and so far I've almost found the the files, but I dont have the necessary skills to figure out the last part.

http://www.discovery.ca/extra/canadas-worst-driver

I've found the following link association with the episode I want:
Code:
http://ams-vp5.9c9media.com/hds-vod/ae/2016-11-07/E2EE8B444331CD5F/DGO-1289452-CanadasWorstDriver-S12E3-001-Adaptive_01-pd1.mp4.f4m
The link gives me a very useful error code that has information on the partial location of the file:

Code:
<manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/1.0">
<id>
DGO-1289452-CanadasWorstDriver-S12E3-001-Adaptive_01-pd1.mp4
</id>
<mimeType></mimeType>
<streamType>recorded</streamType>
<duration>712.713</duration>
<fragment-duration>4000</fragment-duration>
<bootstrapInfo profile="named" id="bootstrap9685">

</bootstrapInfo>
<drmAdditionalHeader drmContentId="DGO-1289452-CanadasWorstDriver-S12E3-001-Adaptive_01-pd1.mp4" id="drmMetadata2685">
...
</drmAdditionalHeader>
<media streamId="DGO-1289452-CanadasWorstDriver-S12E3-001-Adaptive_01-pd1.mp4" url="DGO-1289452-CanadasWorstDriver-S12E3-001-Adaptive_01-pd1.mp4" bootstrapInfoId="bootstrap9685" drmAdditionalHeaderId="drmMetadata2685">
<metadata>
...</metadata>
</media>
</manifest>
Can someone help me with the missing piece of this puzzle? How do I find the full link of the mp4 files for the episode so I can download them?

Thanks in advance!
