Recording from TubiTV

[amglist]

Hi everyone,

I'm having a heck of a time recording the stream from TubiTv, or least getting a clean recording. This is the video I'm working with:

http://tubitv.com/video?id=308045&title=Fighting_Back

I've used the VDH firefox browser extension on both Windows 7 and Ubuntu machines, and it either fails, produces an incomplete video, or a video that plays badly. I did a little poking around with the dev tools and I think the stream is MP2T. The chunks are the following:

http://c11.adrise.tv/v2/sources/cont...p4Frag0Num0.ts

Through

http://c11.adrise.tv/v2/sources/cont...ag275Num275.ts

But I don't know if that's helpful or even the right files. With Firefox not doing the trick, any other way I can do this?

that movie is not avaliable anymore, but it is very easy to pick up any video url and save it to your pc with any download manager.

You can inspect that site with chrome then open network and look something like in the picture

Thanks guys! That worked like a charm. So, it seems I was headed in the right direction, but it should have looked for the "playlist" (*.m3u8), and not the content (*.ts)

Does anyone know how to download closed captions from this site??

Thanks in advance.

Edit:

I already discovered, it's in srt format, just look at the source code of the page.

I just used this thread in order to download from TubiTV, but I felt the instructions needed some updating. It would appear that TubiTV has updated to use https, which I could not get to work with livestream.

First I examined the source code and discovered the name of the file as ending in mp4 as described by ahmetozay.

I then used an Excel template to create a list of the fragment files by using the base mp4 link and then appending the "FragxxNumxx.ts" suffix. The sequence always starts with "Frag1Num0", then "Frag1Num1", "Frag2Num2", etc.

I copied all the links to a text file, and then copied them to the Windows clipboard. Free Download Manager was what I used to pull down everything as you can batch download from a series of links on the clipboard.

Finally, I used mkvtoolnix to combine all the fragment files into one. Copy the first Frag1Num0 file into mkvtoolnix and then right-click on it to choose "Add files as additional parts". Select everything else in one fell swoop. Multiplex and you're done.

Note: In mkvtoolnix, if you choose "Append files" you'll get hiccuping in the final video. Avoid that.

There was no need to have so much work, I downloaded several series of this site just using IDM, I just had to download the caption separately.
