SouthParkStudios - How do I capture video?

[Startug]

Hey there, I didn't want to bump an old thread if it was unlocked as I was afraid I wouldn't receive an answer, but does anybody know how to get flawless HD video from the site? I mainly want to get seasons 3 and 4 on there as they recently re-rendered the show in HD and made them uncensored. I would normally just rip these on iTunes, but they only go season 5 and above. I tried using RTMP dump and I manage to get the video files, but it says something about a handshake error and the files are only 0 KB. Useless. Am I in the wrong place to ask for some help? Thanks!

for other episodes, change "301" occurrences to "302", 303", ect.

subtitles are also per "act";

you can join the segments with ffmpeg concatenate function.

You have, NO idea how much you've truly helped me man. I think I'll just go and download the entire series. I'm not worried that there is no opening segment to be honest. Yeah the intro is awesome, but it's not like it contains anything really necessary for each episode. THanks again so much.

Update: Alright, I tried doing 302 using the same code, but the box instantly closes for some reason. I can't figure this out. :/

I hate to bug you guys, but I'm having no luck with getting episode two of season 3 downloaded. What program would I use and how would I use it to receive the proper links for RTMPdump? I don't want to annoy you guys any further than I have, but I'm still a newbie. :P

[blimey]

Did you change 301 to 302 in all 3 locations (per line)?;

So I can use the four codes at once? Shows how much I've got to learn yet. I was using one act at a time because I thought it was having issues with it. I'll let you know any further. Thank you.

Edit: OH I SEE NOW! I missed one location and I thought there were just two. Thanks so much!

Alright, guess who's back? I got the entire third season downloaded and I went on to get the fourth season done. Wrote an entire code out. Ran right back to square one with nothing downloading except the output files. Here's the code of just one episode:

rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://viacommtvstrmfs.fplive.net:1935/viacommtvstrm" -y "mp4:gsp.comedystor/com/sp/season-4/0401/acts/sp_0401_actHD_01_B_1280x720_1200.mp4" -o "sp_0401_act1.flv"
rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://viacommtvstrmfs.fplive.net:1935/viacommtvstrm" -y "mp4:gsp.comedystor/com/sp/season-4/0401/acts/sp_0401_actHD_02_B_1280x720_1200.mp4" -o "sp_0401_act2.flv"
rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://viacommtvstrmfs.fplive.net:1935/viacommtvstrm" -y "mp4:gsp.comedystor/com/sp/season-4/0401/acts/sp_0401_actHD_03_B_1280x720_1200.mp4" -o "sp_0401_act3.flv"
rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://viacommtvstrmfs.fplive.net:1935/viacommtvstrm" -y "mp4:gsp.comedystor/com/sp/season-4/0401/acts/sp_0401_actHD_04_B_1280x720_1200.mp4" -o "sp_0401_act4.flv"

What did I do wrong this time? I've tried all the URL sniffers I can think of and none of them are helping me solve this case. I was able to get season 3 done perfectly off of the instructions I was given, but it appears season 4 will not be the same way for me. Any help? Thanks again, guys.

Read the 4th and 6th posts of this thread to learn about how to find the naming/urls of any other seasons.

Thanks for the season 4 link. I read the thread and I got this far when trying to figure out season 5:

http://www.southparkstudios.com/feeds/video-player/mrss/uri=mgid:arc:episode:southparkstudios.com:603b7b3a-ecfd-11e0-aca6-0026b9414f30

But I cannot find the proper IDs or any of the RTMPE streams. I know I did something wrong. I got as far as exploring an XML file apparently, but it's not giving me any answers.

Edit: NVM, explored some more in the XML and it appears it's giving me more answers in another URI link I found. I figured out that I needed to use "mediagen" instead of "mrss" in the link. I'll keep updated in case I'm in trouble.

I have no desire to derail this thread but I’m currently struggling in my own attempts to use RTMPdump on South Park Studios, with one episode in particular: Coon vs. Coon & Friends

http://www.southparkstudios.com/full...s-coon-friends

This episode appears unusual in that it is technically split into 4 Acts, despite only labelling 3 – The first Act or “Act0” is a 5 second opening promo unique to this episode, leading into the actual episode.

Having tried a few other methods, I’m only ever able to download the 5 second promo and not the episode itself

Could someone please have a look and possibly post the proper RTMPdump links?

Thank you for your time

Is 1200k the highest you can get? i'm sure there is higher quality.
