Bypass Tv Provider login (USA Network, etc)

[mrk2005]

Hi all again!
There are some sites, e.g. UsaNetwork, that requires TV Provider login in order to see the video.

I'd like to get only the closed captions of an episode, I don't need to download the full video, but of course I have to face the TV Provider login.

For instance: http://www.usanetwork.com/graceland/.../no-old-tigers

any ideas to get the closed captions or bypass the TV Provider login? I wanted to try BitAnalyzer, but it just can't work with the login asking for my tv provider. (I live outside US).

Thanks!!

You have to authenticate to see the subs -- they're provided at the same time as the video is - why would you think the subs are accessible without a login?

You can't bypass that.

You can

1. Load that page and view the source code (CTRL+U in Chrome)
2. Search for player.theplatform.com/p. You will get:

//player.theplatform.com/p/HNK2IC/usa_vod/select/dCwDTq4xVrLF?autoPlay=true&form=html&mbr=true#playerurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.usanetwork.com%2Fgraceland%2Fvideos%2Fno-old-tigers

3. Turn it into this:

http://link.theplatform.com/s/HNK2IC/dCwDTq4xVrLF?format=Script

4. And now you can access the closed captions.

feldego,

Not just the closed captions, but how would someone from USAnetworks capture the stream of episodes?

You may try use Allavsoft to download and convert video from USA Network in any popular video format, like MP4, FLV, AVI, MOV, MKV, HD, WMV, etc

Hi! I tried using this method to download the closed captions from TNT but it didn't work.
Can you suggest another method?? :/ Thanks!
