I have tried in various places to get a solution to this problem without success so I try it here too:
I use an Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS Server (no GUI) to record news shows off of Internet streams at preprogrammed times. One stream in particular is a problem because the ffmpeg command used for the download needs to get the m3u8 URL for the stream and this site has an URL timeout (about every 5-6 hours), so it has to be retrieved anew quite often. If I use FireFox and play the video on the site it is possible via the F12 debug screen to find the very long and Base64 encoded URL. (Or use a plug-in, see below.) But then one needs to *manually* do this every 4 hours or so or else lose out on the video streamed nightly... I would very much like to have a script that can pull this URL out when given the URL of the webpage hosting the video player. Here is the actual website url: http://www.freeintertv.com/view/id-2565 Can someone advice of a command to get hold of it or else direct me to somewhere else where there are peaople "in the know"? I have tried the videohelp forum but no solution yet. There I got a tip for a FireFox add-on, which makes it possible to retrieve the URL without navigating the F12 debug screen. Just clicking a toolbar button. That is here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/video-controller/ But again it is a manual way of doing it, I'd rather have a script that can run 5 minutes before start of recording to retrieve a fresh URL. And it is of course an Ubuntu script I need... -- 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".
