The svtplay-dl binary offered as a download >(version 4.10) seems to be broken. It has a date parsing error which >seems to be fixed in the git version (and the fix should be in 4.10, so >d'uh). On my Ubuntu Server 20.04.3 system: Installed like this: $ sudo apt install svtplay-dl Version test: $ svtplay-dl --version svtplay-dl 2.4-2 Very old! So I did: sudo apt remove svtplay-dl Then I used the directions on this page to modify apt repository and then install: https://svtplay-dl.se/install/linux/ (for Debian/Ubuntu) New version test: $ svtplay-dl --version svtplay-dl 4.10 >With the git version, I get this result: > >[barsnick@goodtimes svtplay-dl]$ ./svtplay-dl --live --only-video -g >https://www.svtplay.se/kanaler/svt1 >https://svt1-d.akamaized.net/se/svt1/manifest.mpd?defaultSubLang=1 So next I used the new svtplay-dl and I got these results: $ svtplay-dl --live --only-video -g https://www.svtplay.se/kanaler/svt1 https://svt1-d.akamaized.net/se/svt1/manifest.mpd?defaultSubLang=1 $ svtplay-dl --live --only-video -g https://www.svtplay.se/kanaler/svt2 https://svt2-d.akamaized.net/se/svt2/manifest.mpd?defaultSubLang=1 $ svtplay-dl --live --only-video -g https://www.svtplay.se/kanaler/svtbarn https://svtb-d.akamaized.net/se/svtb/manifest.mpd?defaultSubLang=1 $ svtplay-dl --live --only-video -g https://www.svtplay.se/kanaler/kunskapskanalen https://svtk-d.akamaized.net/se/svtk/manifest.mpd?defaultSubLang=1 $ svtplay-dl --live --only-video -g https://www.svtplay.se/kanaler/svt24 https://svtb-d.akamaized.net/se/svtb/manifest.mpd?defaultSubLang=1 Good progress! >And ffmpeg can handle that given URL just fine. I have checked this too since my script expected an m3u8 URL. And it does work also with the .mpd URL. :-) >(Funny thing: Since SVT seems to have separate substream manifests for >video and audio now, svtplay-dl apparently currently cannot give you >both those URLs with "-g", you get only a pure video URL.

My script is using ffmpeg to reformat to a fixed resolution while downloading using these arguments: -vf scale=w=-4:h=480 -c:v libx264 -preset fast -crf 26 -c:a copy >> 3) The problem is that some broadcasts are not available after the fact (like >> some sports events) and have to be "recorded" in real time off of the stream >> itself. > >I agree, I do the same once in a while. :-) I tried to use svtplay-dl directly to download the live stream but that did not work: $ svtplay-dl -c 60 --live -o svt1test2.mp4 https://www.svtplay.se/kanaler/svt1?start=auto INFO: Outfile: svt1test2.mp4.mp4 INFO: Selected to download dash, bitrate: 4720 format: h264 ERROR: This is a live DASH stream, and they are not supported. But since it works with ffmpeg I will use my existing script anyway... THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR CLARIFYING THE ISSUE! I will now add this to my video handling documentation. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
