Bypass ABC "Verify to watch" / Stream without signing in

[designatedroot]

Hi there,

I'm new to this forum and got a question about the ABC network (http://abc.go.com). Is there any way to bypass "Verify to watch" to see all episodes (also older ones)? (At ABC you need to login with your cable account to watch all episodes, but this is quite difficult when you don't have an American cable account because you don't live in the US)

This solution (http://stream-recorder.com/forum/byp...tc-t20266.html) isnt working, because ABC uses Uplynk instead of theplatform as a content provider.

I've been doing some reverse-engineering but was not successfull.

First of all (if you're out of the US like me) ABC is quite picky about who is able to watch there "free" episodes you can watch without signing in. The VPN I usually use did not work, but VPN Gate worked erverytime (it's free, http://www.vpngate.net/en/).

So, just a bit information about how ABCs episode player seems to work:
Every epsiode has a unique video id which can be found in the HTML code of the website. For example here (http://abc.go.com/shows/jimmy-kimmel...tow-john-mayer) the video id would be VDKA3786158.

To get the index.m3u8 file you first need to request a json file. The URL is https://api.contents.watchabc.go.com/vp2/ws/s/contents/3000/videos/001/001/-1/-1/-1/**$video-id**/-1/-1.json

This json contains the URL you need for streaming. But just taking the URL given in this json does not work, because you cant get the keys you need for decryption.

So you must get the authorization. To do so, you need to send a HTTP POST request containing "brand=001&device=001&video_id=**$video-id**&video_type=lf&video_player=html5" to https://api.entitlement.watchabc.go....authorize.json. This is (I think) the only time your geolocation is checked.

So this request returns a json containing the "authkey". To get the index.m3u8 file you need to append "?" and your authkey to the URL given in the first json.

I dont really know whether this all is correct or if it helps...

Back to my question: when you try to get the authorization for a "Verify to watch" video (which you cant view without logging in) this fails with an error saying that there is no source for the video found.

So, is there any way to stream/download "verify to watch" videos without signing in?

Sorry for my bad English and thank you in advance!

Hi there,

could somebody please take care of @antrandn1989 and his post?

I also received a mail that @JonDough has posted a reply, but I cant find it on the forums...

So I just quote what he wrote (hope that's ok):

Don't think so. US abc uses adobe services to verify provider auth. When the auth with adobe ("adobePassData") is successful, it passes data that is later used as a very long additional data parameter with the post request to the authorize.json url. It is a couple of hundred bytes long and contains various signatures and other data.

If the post request to authorize.json doesn't contain the correct adobePassData as a data parameter, it won't return a sessionKey at all.

Since the ts pieces and m3u8 aren't secured, if you independently obtain the 16 byte aes key (specific for each quality k, j, and so on) then you can probably edit the m3u8 and download the video. Some re-streaming sites used to host the keys but otherwise someone with provider auth would have to obtain them.

So a big thanks to @JonDough! Those re-streaming sites - could you link one?
