[Tutorial] to dl from Comedy Central

[hoboslobobabe]

A little tutorial how to download from comedy central (Very Basic Knowledge of Urlsnooper and rtmpdump expected):

Download URL Snooper, download rtmpdump (I use version 2.1c)
Install Urlsnooper, extract rtmpdump.
Start Urlsnooper, choose "search", choose "protocol filter" >multimedia files.
Start Sniffing.
Load the website of the video on comedy central your desired video is on.
Make sure your cache empty, private browsing in Firefox will do this job too.
This is to make sure, your browser doesn't load the video from the cache in case you already loaded the page.
Now the video loads Urlsnooper will fetch a lot of urls.
Just go to "file" and choose "copy all urls to one file".

Open that text file and choose the parts you want and the desired quality.
In my example I only choose one part, and it has the best available quality.

rtmpe://cp9950.edgefcs.net/ondemand/mtvnorigin/gsp.comedystor/com/dailyshow/TDS/season_15/episode_043/ds_15043_act1_768x432_1720.mp4

This is what a video part on CC will usually look like, note the rtmpe.
The resolution is pretty high, and it's an mp4 file.

Paste the part(s) between –r and -W :

Before:
" rtmpdump.exe" -r -W "http://media.mtvnservices.com/player/release/?v=4.2.0" -o "c:\video1.mp4"

After:

"rtmpdump.exe" -r rtmpe://cp9950.edgefcs.net/ondemand/mtvnorigin/gsp.comedystor/com/dailyshow/TDS/season_15/episode_043/ds_15043_act1_768x432_1720.mp4
-W "http://media.mtvnservices.com/player/release/?v=4.2.0" -o "c:\video1.mp4"

Note that "c:\video1.mp4" is just an example for a name and a path, you can choose your name and your path freely of course.
Keep the mp4 though, since it's an mp4 file.

Do this for each part in the same txt.file.
Save this file as xyz.bat in the same folder that your rtmpdump.exe is in.
Now you can just run the xyz.bat file and it will start the download.
This “script” should work for all videos on comedy central.
