Help finding hidden streams.

[AlohaMango]

Hi all.

I have been learning so much reading you guys over the past few years, this is an amazing place for knowledge.

I am reaching out to the community to see if anyone has additional tools they can point me at in order to help.

I am trying to discover hidden HD stream (1080p) for instance on a website that is streaming, non-DRM related, videos.

I have tried using The Stream Detector in both Chrome, Firefox, looking at Edge for different playlists and no success so far.

I know there is a way to obtain 1080p stream as there are people sharing the video files on various torrent sites, and they are WEB-DL.


Here is the direct link to one episode - it's a Canadian French serie broadcasted by Telequebec platform.

https://video.telequebec.tv/player/44484/stream?assetType=episodes

Here is the m3u8 link - it has, I believe, a time-sensitive Token therefore might not work directly for you guys

As you can see, it shows various resolution streams up to 720p, unfortunately no 1080p visible in this playlist.

I would appreciate if you have any added tips or hints to try and access the 1080p stream.


Thanks for your time and help, much appreciated.

i checked on an android phone and its still only 720p
are you sure it has 1080p on that streaming service?
maybe its on another streaming service that has 1080p like ici.tou.tv

I think you just figured it out . Now I feel quite dumb. I did not think it was actually being streamed on another platform, and did not think they would offer higher quality elsewhere neither.

I will start looking for way to rip tou.tv;

Thanks friend and have a good day!
