weeb.tv: Help to download live TV streams

[kwiecu]

Everything fine. Apparently it was something on my computer... Sorry.

Apparently the script sometimes doesn't bypass the viewer's limit or just can not connect to the server while it's very busy.

I get this log(cookies.txt file):

# Netscape HTTP Cookie File

Do you know how to fix it?

PS Do you have a problem with losing audio or frozen video?

script uses a trick to bypass the viewer's limit and it works in most cases. server busy message is only displayed when their server doesn't send auth ticket for whatsoever reason. probably they don't have very strong backend at server side and server chokes when many people are connected simultaneously.

some channels require higher bandwidth than others to view them properly. it's also possible that their CDN bandwidth is limited so it's unable to cope with higher number of users.

I'm using your script daily, even thought I have premium account on weeb.tv, because I'm always viewing several streams at once, and it's just more comfortable this way.
I really like the idea of bat files generated per channel but they simply don't work, stream opens for few sec and closes with "downloaded" message always. With manual input (php WeebTV.php http://weeb.tv/online/hbo2) it happens also sometimes, but changing /online/ to channel, c, kanal or live helps sometime.
So it's pretty unreliable and sadly I can't use it to schedule recording
Thank you for your work

I've just read on their forum that they are being suffered by some problems due to high number of users especially in the evenings and at night(CET +1). People at the forum in general have been complaining about the quality of the service recently, even those with premium access.

Thanks KSV for everything you've done so far

generated bat files are not reusable because weeb ticket expires after few minutes. batch files just work as intermediary for piping to work correctly from script. if you don't wanna generate multiple files you can easily change that in script.

change the command in script to save output file instead of launching vlc. then you can directly use the script for scheduling.

Thank you for the reply.
But I like the idea of having batch files for each channel, how should proper bat file look like to do that?

[kiely]

they improved their streams and there are multi-stream channels, with two options of quality
it's different in address of stream; f.e. rtmp address for tvn in standard qual. is rtmp://.........../live/3/live and for hq - rtmp://......../live/3/liveHI

how to manage it in KSV's script?
