How to capture stream from mediaklikk.hu?

Question

I want to capture a streaming video from mediaklikk.hu. How can I do that?

Answer 1

alternative solution for the commandline zsh and curl (Linux/Mac)

idea: collect all the video parts and paste them into one file, can run in a shell in background, you have to know the starting url and the number of pieces

• got to Chrome developer tools - network tab
• when the stream starts you see an url like:
  media_w415294746_b800000_1.ts?keys=h9bDPql-rzDe-44uEorcTA&keyt=1457916109
• the _b8000000 stands for the video quality, so _b12000000 is better/bigger
• the number before .ts stands for the video part
• fast forward to the end of the video and get the last number, eg. 444
• copy url of a video part with right mouse menu / copy link address
• now get all the part in commend line with the tool curl
• use a loop from 1..444 with variable i - in url change the number into eg _1.ts into _${i}.ts
• paste alle the video parts into one file myvideo.mp4 using >>

• in command line use zsh (runs in Linux or MacOS)

  for i in {1..444}; do echo "* video part $i ..."; curl URL >> myvideo.mp4; done
  

• when you paste your URL at the place of URL be aware to escape special characters eg. =&? with \

working example:

zsh> for i in {1..444}; do echo "* video part $i ..."; curl http://212.40.98.161/intvod/_definst_/r/mtva/2016/02/26/2016-000128-M0054-01-/international.smil/media_w415294746_b1200000_${i}.ts\?keys\=h9bDPql-rzDe-44uEorcTA\&keyt\=1457916109 >> mymovie.mp4; done

now you should see some output like this:

* video part 1 ...
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100 1441k  100 1441k    0     0   486k      0  0:00:02  0:00:02 --:--:--  486k
* video part 2 ...
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100 1438k  100 1438k    0     0   475k      0  0:00:03  0:00:03 --:--:--  475k
