Stinkfoot please help us regarding hotstar (Last try)

[sscomp32]

Hello stinkfoot. Have been waiting since a long time and posted a lot of request but no reply so trying one last time since i see stinkfoot active again.
Please please tell us how you got the direct link of starsports.com video.

I did as you said to root your phone and install network logging to capture the direct link. I did that and tried almost 10+ network logging software but nothing happened.

I even tried network sniffing and packet capture software too but nothing happened. Packet capture software sent me m3u8 link so i stopped trying.

Now i see you active so a last try:
http://www.hotstar.com/tv/dance-seas...und/1000101639

http://www.hotstar.com/dance-ka-bhakt/1000150078

This is a sample link. Please please please tell you how you got the star sports direct link.

If you dont wanna tell us the method at least please help us get the direct link of this.

There are 1 other link from star sports we want help.
http://www.starsports.com/cricket/to...lay/index.html

This is a live stream and has a different manifest link so cant download it using the usual method.

Please help us. YOu are a star. You dont know what a herculean help you have done to a lot of sports lover by sharing star sports direct link.

its not just livestreamer but some people outside India can't access same m3u8(which sscomp can, and I can't) whereas Stinkfoot's cache link for same link actually worked for starsports. Just not sure how he pulled it, and trying to emulate same for hotstar.

Because i dont have a stable connection and livestreamer does not support resume. 50% of the time the video i want to download gets interrupted and i have to download it all over again. Also livestreamer does not work in a slow connection.

Where as i can download the direct link using IDM which supports resume and also works in slow connection.

Don't know how but stinkfoot pulled the direct link for star sports and hotstar works on same technology so wanted to know if it can do again for hotstar or not.

1 - use your computer as a wifi spot for your phone

2 - install starsports app on phone

3 - use wireshark on your computer to monitor the network logs (as phone data passes through your computer via its wifi)

4 - in wireshark, look for the mp4 protocol

of course proper india IP is needed

yup, I was hoping to avoid this... I know how to do this but this won't work for me as I'm outside of India. So SSCOMP, you're on your own, and waiting for what details you can provide.
