I'm on Linux and using the rtmpdump tools as well as other old methods of trying to snoop the URLs for these videos. I'm not getting it for some reason. The Windows software located here http://www.allavsoft.com/how-to/down...bs-videos.html works in a virtual machine but I'd rather stay away from that. I need to update my skills. Can anyone give me a clue? I'd prefer to understand the latest method you use to grab the URL and I'll take it from there. Thanks.
All you need to do is find the main .m3u8 file using AdBlock Plus in Firefox. It's named
Code:
x2bnys7c_vwar0101-16x9-1080p.m3u8
Just use that full url in livestreamer and it should work. Working right now for me. I opted to grab the 720p version and I have about 1.5 GB captured so far.
