Live Stream Ripping give me a corrupt video file

[Fathom]

Hi to all.

I'll try to rip this stream

https://qvcitalia.mmdlive.lldns.net/qvcitalia/66f8359ae9c046bb8aa92144511b450a/manifest.f4m

I found that tv donwloader can rip this stream, i think it's use ffmpeg, but this is a live stream
so dont have an end, and when I press Ctrl+c to stop ripping process the file video is corrupt
and I can't play it.

Someone can help me to find a valid solution to stop ffmpeg and have a valid video file?

Or another method to rip this stream?

Thank you guys!

Use php 5.4 + AdobeHDS.php. Code:

php AdobeHDS.php --manifest "https://qvcitalia.mmdlive.lldns.net/qvcitalia/66f8359ae9c046bb8aa92144511b450a/manifest.f4m"

1. https://windows.php.net/download#php-7.2
2. https://github.com/K-S-V/Scripts/blob/master/AdobeHDS.php
Create a .txt file. Copy the script. Rename it to AdobeHDS.php. Place the AdobeHDS.php file in the php directory 7.2.

Ok I have done what you write but PHP gave me an error

"You have to install and enable the following extension to continue: 'curl'"

I have try to find a solution on the net, but it seem a bit complicated....

Could be you have a rapid solution of this problem? Thank You

You can use hls if manifest.f4m is changed to master.m3u8.

You can use ffmpeg or streamlink with hls, perhaps more easily than hds.

Curious why anyone would want to save the stream of qvc shopping channel. That seems like the worst form of torture.

Using Ctrl+C to stop youtube-dl works for that site. You just have to rename the file extension afterward.

youtube-dl -o output.flv https://qvcitalia.mmdlive.lldns.net/qvcitalia/66f8359ae9c046bb8aa92144511b450a/manifest.f4m

The resulting file will be named output.flv.part. Just remove the .part.

I haven't had that problem. Make sure your youtube-dl is up to date.

ffmpeg -i "https://qvcitalia.mmdlive.lldns.net/qvcitalia/66f8359ae9c046bb8aa92144511b450a/master.m3u8" -c copy video.ts

Yes, transport streams are designed to be picked up midstream and survive unreliable transmission so they have a lot of redundancy. One can always remux to another container later if necessary. You can even play the TS file while it's still download.

I have last youtube-dl version

To update youtube-dl use (note uppercase U)

youtube-dl -U

And to stop it from saving a .part file that could be potentially useless by using Ctl+C to stop the stream and make it save a complete file in your stated format:

youtube-dl --no-part <rest_of_syntax>

Ok could be i understand so the syntax is:

youtube-dl --no-part -o output.flv https://qvcitalia.mmdlive.lldns.net/qvcitalia/66f8359ae9c046bb8aa92144511b450a/manifest.f4m

and when i press ctrl+c the stream will be readable?

Is it correct?

[Fathom]

ffmpeg -i "https://qvcitalia.mmdlive.lldns.net/qvcitalia/66f8359ae9c046bb8aa92144511b450a/master.m3u8" -c copy video.ts

Thank You this command with ffmpeg work and give me a valid video file, with correct duration.

Now so i see you use a .m3u8 so you have find also this link stream..... or only instead a "manifest.f4m" you change in "master.m3u8"?
