Re: A very difficult download

Hi,

For you information, video files are often split into several pieces to be
played by a browser. The URL you gave (with playlist.m3u8) should contain
the playlist of resolution available for the video. For each resolution,
you have an URL (usually chunklist.m3u8) with a list of all chunks
belonging to the video. If you want to download the full video, you have to
download all pieces (media_0.ts, media_1.ts, ...) using curl and
afterwards, put them all together using a tool like ffmpeg (
https://ffmpeg.org/download.html). Here is an example of command
line: ffmpeg.exe -f concat -i listOfChunks.txt -acodec copy -vcodec copy
movie.mp4 with listOfChunks.txt like:
file media_0.ts
file media_1.ts
...

I did a bash script a few months ago to download such a video and it works
pretty well. Unfortunately, the video is geo-protected (only accessible
from Austria) and I can't download it to see if my script is working.

Good luck
