Downloading from Yahoo TV

[mrswhite]

Hi again!

I'm trying to download this video: https://tv.yahoo.com/blogs/tv-news/m...165750720.html (it's the first one after the annoying ad)

With Yahoo I know a method (namely this: http://blog.hd-trailers.net/tutorial...rs-from-yahoo/) but that works with "movies" or "trailers" Yahoo URLs.

In this case it's a "TV" url. However I imagined it was similar, so what I tried to do is to find the m3u8 playlist file for this video. Generally Yahoo sends a json type of file with a bunch of m3u8 urls for their different versions of the video (different qualities).

I was able to find one of this json files but strangely enough it doesn't contain the video I'm looking for. This is the json file i was able to get: https://video.media.yql.yahoo.com/v1...425662813_2656


Wireshark didn't show me any results searching with the "HTTP" protocoll filter - which was strange I suppose?

The same goes with URLSnooper. Nothing useful.

So I just use my chrome's "network" examination and I was able to see a bunch of "mp2t" files being downloaded in this form:
https://yahoo.hs.llnwd.net/primetime...3c0227ab&num=0


That is actually the first of the 17 segments of the complete video! However it's not the best of qualities.

I analysed different ".ts" urls also from yahoo and i thought that changing the "_3_0" (which for other videos, the highest quality is _10_0) would work, also changing the "h" attribute. But nope... it doesn't.

At the moment I was able to download this video in low quality, do you know how to get a better quality one?

Sorry if this is a bit long, just wanted to tell you all the process I've been through.

Thanks in advance!
