Downloading NBC Sports

[jrhessey]

Hey everybody. I searched and found some other NBC Sports threads and thought I had it figured out, when the downloads started working, but they stopped after 20 or 30 mb. I'm stuck trying to download a replay of the nd game this past weekend. I've downloaded just fine from espn3, but for some reason I can not get the nbc stream to go. I've tried using ffmpeg as well, but I get an invalid format error.

The game I'm trying to download is

ND vs. Wake Forest

I've tried a bunch of links in the commands, below are the last ones I tried.

Can someone point me in the right direction please? Thanks!

Hi,

just use the right type before the link then it works.

I was able to get them to play, but none of them start off at the beginning of the game and they are only short clips. One is the 3rd quarter, one is the 2nd qtr, one is the 1st quarter with 3minutes to go and one is the 1st quarter with 2 minutes to go. Once it reaches the end of the clip, vlc closes and the command window says stream ended. Am I doing something wrong here?

I think these links below have to mean something. The video has a main cam and an overhead cam to switch between. I also can't for the life of me figure out how to read the m3u8 files. I've installed firefox, opened the console, but they never show up.
