A couple of months ago I already stated to use the latest binary from the development branch: On 2022-01-09T23:07:55+0100, Reino Wijnsma <rwijn...@xs4all.nl> wrote: > I'm not sure why you're trying to compile Xidel from (the wrong) source when > you can easily grab binaries from > https://sourceforge.net/projects/videlibri/files/Xidel/ (binaries from the > development map are recommended).

You, as a developer, don't know the difference between a minified and prettified command? I don't know what a "news reader" is, but https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2022-April/054565.html shows my mail as intended. And of course prettified commands can be entered in a terminal. > So it prints the word "msnbc_live" as a single word and nothing gets stored on > the disk either... All Xidel commands in my previous post just print the output to stdout. I don't understand why you'd expect anything to be saved to disk. > I tried this after making it unwrapped into a single command line, but got an > error: > > xidel -s "http://www.freeintertv.com/view/id-2565" -e > '{"chname":string-to-base64Binary(extract(//meta[@property="og:image"]/@content,"([a-z_]+)\.jpg",1)),"ch":"http://www.freeintertv.com/externals/tv-russia/smotret-tv3-online","html5":"11"}'{"chname": > "bXNuYmNfbGl2ZQ==","ch": > "http://www.freeintertv.com/externals/tv-russia/smotret-tv3-online","html5": > "11"} > Error: > err:XPST0003: Unknown or unexpected operator: { (possible missing comma , or > closing parentheses)}] ) On 2022-04-09T13:14:18+0200, Reino Wijnsma <rwijn...@xs4all.nl> wrote: > $ xidel -s "http://www.freeintertv.com/view/id-2565" -e ' *opening quote of > extraction-query* > { > "chname":string-to-base64Binary( > extract(//meta[@property="og:image"]/@content,"([a-z_]+)\.jpg",1) > ), > "ch":"http://www.freeintertv.com/externals/tv-russia/smotret-tv3-online", > "html5":"11" > } > ' *closing quote of > extraction-query* > { > "chname": "bXNuYmNfbGl2ZQ==", > "ch": "http://www.freeintertv.com/externals/tv-russia/smotret-tv3-online", > "html5": "11" > } So, the JSON is not part of the command, but it's the *output*! > So next I tried this last big command again after trying to get it onto a > single > line (which the newsreader has wrapped...): > > $ xidel -s "http://www.freeintertv.com/view/id-2565" -e > 'x:request({"post":request-combine((),{"chname":string-to-base64Binary(extract(//meta[@property="og:image"]/@content,"([a-z_]+)\.jpg",1)),"ch":"http://www.freeintertv.com/externals/tv-russia/smotret-tv3-online","html5":"11"})/substring(url,2),"url":"http://www.freeintertv.com/myAjax/get_item_m3u8/"})/extract(raw,"http.+m3u8") > > Now there is only a single > output and no command prompt until I hit Ctrl-C You forgot to copy-paste the extraction-query closing quote. If you insist on using Xidel 0.9.8, then use: $ xidel -s "http://www.freeintertv.com/view/id-2565" -e 'x:request({"post":request-combine({"url":()},{"chname":string-to-base64Binary(extract(//meta[@property="og:image"]/@content,"([a-z_]+)\.jpg",1)),"ch":"http://www.freeintertv.com/externals/tv-russia/smotret-tv3-online","html5":"11"})/url,"url":"http://www.freeintertv.com/myAjax/get_item_m3u8/"})/extract(raw,"http.+m3u8")' I think this is enough off-topic for this mailinglist. If you have any more questions about Xidel, I suggest you go to: StackOverflow - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/xidel Mailinglist - https://sourceforge.net/p/videlibri/mailman/ (not so active) Forum - https://sourceforge.net/p/xidel/discussion On 2022-04-11T17:46:52+0200, Robert Jeffares <jeffares.rob...@gmail.com> wrote: > A script using curl to download the site to a file then grep m3u8 will give > you a list which you can then sort to select the_one_you_want then ffmpeg > -I the_one_you_want etc No it will not, because a POST request is required to get the video-url in this particular case. There's no mention of "m3u8" in the site its HTML-source. And in addition, it's really bad practise to parse HTML with grep/sed/awk etc. P.s.
