toggle.sg silverlight changed stream type, help please :)

[haywire]

Hi, I used to use Firefox's network monitor to locate the ism file for the Silverlight streams from this site and then get the video with ismdownloader but they changed it last week.

for example:

http://video.toggle.sg/en/tv-show/ne...ar-2017/484514

instead of ism it's now mp4.csmil files streaming pieces of mp2ts files

I can find the master.m3u8 file using about:cache in Firefox and looking through disk cache but I can't figure out ffmpeg enough to download anything properly. Am I on the right track here?

I would appreciate some help with tuning this process.

Success!

used

ffmpeg -i "http://mcshls2015-vh.akamaihd.net/i/201610WM/MCPK0170328001100288/20170328_MAR_2017_-_HELLO_SINGAPORE_EP20_NEW_IPAD_MP4_,20,40,.mp4.csmil/master.m3u8" -acodec copy -vcodec copy output.mkv

for the example link http://video.toggle.sg/en/tv-show/ne...ar-2017/484514

New question: How do I find the m3u8 for the higher quality stream (if any)?

Previously ismdownloader automatically got a 1024x576 + 50 fps stream, but now it's 640x360 + 25fps....did they get rid of it or it's there somehow?

I'm asking because the m3u8 I'm getting says 'IPAD' in the filename, maybe there's a higher quality one that's not being served to my browser or something?

There is higher quality m3u8 but it is still 25fps.

sysanin, JonDough, thank you very much, I tried chrome developer tools instead and managed to get the ism link there. Awesome
