Problems recording a stream from proximustv

[Gwar]

hello,

I'm trying to record several festival streams which are always online.
The streams are located at http://vod.graspop.be/?language=nl&mediaId=33405

I started with this one http://vod.graspop.be/?language=nl&mediaId=33386

opened my console and copied the marked adress



which is

http://paille3.streaming.proximustv....damned/02.m3u8

This looks good I thought and created the following batch in livestreamer

livestreamer "http://paille3.streaming.proximustv.be/session/a6e8cc7c-00b6-11e7-b7e9-005056b34b8b/867r6f/shares/export/mounthttp/festivals/gmm2016_concert_legionofthedamned/02.m3u8" best -c copy E:\Projects\MUSIC\FESTIVALS\Graspop 2016\direct record\LOTD - Graspop 2016.ts


But it doesn't work. The bat shuts down one second after I started it. What am I doing wrong here ?


Thanks for your help and a great weekend for you guys !

Hi,

add hls:// before http protocol.

livestreamer "hls://http://paille1.stream....01.m3u8" best

If you want to download the video then add -o "video.mp4".Also just enter your link you did build directly into CMD so then you can also see the error info if it failed because of any reason.

Try this und sag bescheid.

thanks man but it doesn't work.

I think the problem could be that I don't know what the right .m3u8
is. There are tons of ".ts" in the firefox console window which are generated when I play the video. There is only one 01.m3u8 so I thought that should be the one. According to your suggestion I made this code

livestreamer "hls:/http://marais1.streaming.proximustv.be/session/1634a3a4-00ed-11e7-9416-005056b34b8b/867r6f/shares/export/mounthttp/festivals/gmm2016_concert_legionofthedamned/01.m3u8" best -o "video.mp4"

but it also shuts down.

Regarding the cmd test I'm not too good at dos commands so I have no clue how to stat a url in a cmd console :-/

thanks for your ongoing help man
regards

Hi again,

dont care about the .ts chunks so just look at the m3u8 playlists in the browser console.

Exsample: Lets check this site...

http://vod.graspop.be/?language=nl&mediaId=33405

...so if you call this site then you get first a little info video to see about some seconds before the video starts you wanna have.At same time watch the console in browser.On the right side is a searchmask so there you can also enter m3u8 what does show you these links only with that name inside and the rest gets hidden.If your main video starts press stop and check what you got so far...

The first both links are the short info video.If you check these in network tab / answer / then you can see the links inside + resolutions etc.Here it does play the video 01 with HD quality.

Next are the main video you want.Here the same.First loads the index playlist and then the link 01 and there inside you can find the ts chunk links.

The only thing you need now is the master playlist so in this case its called index.m3u8.Copy this link and build the livestreamer data...

livestreamer "hls://http://marais1.streaming.proximustv.be/session/bd9144b0-00f0-11e7-b40c-ac162d9bd3bc/867r6f/shares/export/mounthttp/festivals/gmm2016_concert_behemoth/index.m3u8" best

....now it does play the video in VLC player if you have installed.If you want to download then add -o "video.mp4" as I told before.

In your example you did postet you forgot a slash after hls:/here.

About cmd.Just copy a CMD.exe from your windows folder into your livestreamer.exe folder and start it there so then you dont need to enter livestreamer path anymore and now you can also use the link as I did post above.Copy the link above and paste it into cmd window with your mouse and press enter.Thats all so far.So try again.

hey troller,
thanks for your help. Now I understand :-)

it worked this time. I used this code

livestreamer hlsvariant://"http://paille3-1.streaming.proximustv.be/session/2a8077c8-0194-11e7-a3ab-005056b3881d/867r6f/shares/export/mounthttp/festivals/gmm2016_concert_behemoth/index.m3u8?token=7d3cec2078bba53ae267081eef5a8f11_1488719472_1488719472" best -o "C:\Behemoth.mp4"

The funny thing is that it only works if you include the token information in the link (?token=7d3cec2078bba53ae267081eef5a8f11_148871947 2_1488719472)
weird but that's how it goes

thanks again for your support, you rock !
