Hi ,

@hpgin : I have tried without success . Country problem !!!

Here below , what you have to do :

Tutorial for "ismdownloader"
=====
!!! Before all your tries , ALWAYS suppress completely the History in Firefox !!!
=====

1) Create a directory "X:\ISMdl"
2) If the future video to be catched is named "Video.mkv" ,
..Create a sub-directory "X:\ISMdl\Video" (upper "V" !!!)

2) Run firefox
_a) Tools => Web Developper => Web Console , in the case "Filter" write "manifest" .
_b) In the address bar , enter the link for the web page , to see the video .
_c) After the video has began , put it in pause
_d) Try to see in the Web Console , a link with "manifest" ??? HERE IT'S THE MAJOR DIFFICULTY ???
_e) Copy "http://... .ism/manifest?__auth__=...f4880"
3) Open Notepad : Paste and Save in "X:\ISMdl\save.txt" , for security !!! .
4) Quit Firefox and re-run it
_a) In the address bar , enter "http://... .ism/manifest?__auth__=...f4880" (without double-quotes) , <enter> .
_b) You will save a file "manifest"
5) Find this file ( in your PC) , and copy it in "X:\ISMdl\Video"
6) create a new batch file
---
@echo on
ismdownloaderAVC1 "http://... .ism/manifest" "X:\ISMdl\Video.mkv"
pause
:fin
---
!!! DON'T FORGET 'pause' !!!

7) Save it "Try_Video.bat" in the same directory of "ismdownloaderAVC1.exe" ( or ismdownloader.exe ) .
8) Lauch "Try_Video.bat" => DL the file "Video.mkv" .
..While this process 2 sub-directories are created :
..."X:\ISM\Video\QualityLevels(64000)"
..."X:\ISM\Video\QualityLevels(2750000)"
9) The file final "Video.mkv" is staying in "X:\ISMdl" <= It's done !!!
10) Copy it somewhere else , for example in "X:\temp" 
11) Destroy completely "X:\ISMdl"

=== Beginning of the process ===

Hi ,

@hpgin : It's very difficult to answer , as I haven't the manifest file .

post #4 : ismdownloader v2.0.0.01beta ; without DRM

post #6 : ismdownloader v2.0.0.0 beta ; with DRM

Open it with a text editor , and read if exist "DRM" ?

If yes , no possibility ( at the moment ) to catch the file .

Cheers .
