Trying this can find multiple streams.

Bitmovin video

https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/watch/2305582147923

Trying to find which one is right for A_N_G_L_E_A s script pulls down the adverts but not the video.

Tv Downloader works but very slowly any ideas please.

Hls shows loads of streams as well

[white_snake]

The first two segments are the ads as you can see from the specific m3u8 stream files:

This means you could just run:

N_m3u8DL-RE -M format=mkv --custom-range 3- m3u8url.m3u8

Other than that, video doesn't seem to be encrypted, it downloads fine with N_m3u8DL-RE.

yt-dlp's extractor also seems to work:

[PSXman_uk]

Do you rename the master m3u8 as mpd ?

[white_snake]

Do you rename the master m3u8 as mpd ?

Nope sorry, that's an oversight on my part, I'll fix it now to avoid confusion.

So I had to do:

N_m3u8DL-RE -M format=mkv --custom-range 5- "https://sbs-vod-dai-prod-01.akamaized.net/Content/HLS_AES_TS/VOD/geo/15992/6408/ddcf70c2-410f-4620-b311-2fb6f29b70d2/9439a831-9b13-6280-ed4f-cb66148195cb/master.m3u8?otherparameters=..."

Everything muxed correctly except for subs, being 30 seconds behind, which is exactly the sum of the first four #EXTINF (10+5+10+5). Here's your file: https://gofile.io/d/qxFttQ

Edit: I'm using N_m3u8DL-RE (Beta version) 20231113, not sure if that makes a difference.

[PSXman_uk]

Any chance i can try that version please is it windows exe i tired the github site and cant get it

Didn't notice it had expired, sorry. Here's the Windows 10 x64 binary: https://files.videohelp.com/u/194156/N_m3u8DL-RE.exe

[PSXman_uk]

Thank you

[PSXman_uk]

Are you using Stream detector to get the links ?

[white_snake]

Are you using Stream detector to get the links ?

Yes, but mostly the Network tab on the developer console. In this case it's particularly convenient because you can see the response preview (meaning the .m3u8 text content) from there and quickly identify the ad segments.

[PSXman_uk]

[Attachment 77248 - Click to enlarge]

i have tampermonkey emelogger etc installed i cant see the m3u8

[white_snake]

[Attachment 77248 - Click to enlarge]

i have tampermonkey emelogger etc installed i cant see the m3u8

Try to type m3u8 where it says "Filter". Also, EMElogger doesn't have anything to do with the .m3u8.

Of course you'll have to reload the page for it to show up.

[ehurdler]

I was having the same issues with SBS OnDemand stuff.

I should say, yt-dlp does work. But VERY slow for me, so switched to my method using N_m3u8DL-RE. Super quick and for me easy now.

I finally started doing the following:

This is my VERY LENGTHY writeup! If it helps some great! If it does not, I was bored and had this written down so I did not originally forget when I was testing the process.

Taking the example that PSXman_uk posted:

https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/watch/2305582147923

I'm using Chrome, open the Developers Tools, Search on "m3u8" in the Network Tab. Load the video.

I take the master.m3u8 and save it to my working folder.

Open that maser.m3u8 to get the link to the audio stream and video stream <- These can be obtained with the "m3u8" search as well.

When opening master.m3u8 in Notepad++

I copy the url for Audio, paste it in to new tab and it downloads a "variant.m3u8" <- rename to audio.m3u8

I copy the url for Video or 1280x720, paste it in to new tab and it downloads a "variant.m3u8" <- rename to video.m3u8

Now I have in my working directory
master.m3u8
audio.m3u8
video.m3u8

Now that I have the audio and video variant.m3u8 files downloaded, I edit my master.m3u8 to look like the following:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=AUDIO,URI="audio.m3u8",GROUP-ID="audio1",LANGUAGE="ENG",NAME="English",DEFAULT=YES,AUTOSELECT=YES
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=3051874,RESOLUTION=1280x720,CODECS="avc1.4d4029,mp4a.40.2",AUDIO="audio1",SUBTITLES="subs"
video.m3u8

Re-save master.m3u8


Now I open audio.m3u8 in Notepad++

I do a search for "[CODE]https://redirector.googlevideo.com/[/CODE

Will see a bunch of sections like this:

#EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY

I highlight and delete all sections with the

https://redirector.googlevideo.com/

portion, from the

#EXTINF:10,

all the way down to and including

#EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY

and Delete that section.

Move on to the next and next, etc. until all

https://redirector.googlevideo.com/

sections are gone. Save file.

Now do the same edits in video.m3u8

Now the reason I edited the master.m3u8 is because I use that master file each time I download from SBS On Demand. I just replace the audio.m3u8 and video.m3u8 of each different video in question.

Now I use this as an example to get the file:

N_m3u8DL-RE "master.m3u8" --save-name "Catch Me a Killer - s01e01 - The Station Strangler Part 1" -M format=mkv

Gives output:

Now I have for this example have the full file "Catch Me a Killer - s01e01 - The Station Strangler Part 1.mkv"

This is my process, may be lengthy by some standards. This "template" I created with the master.m3u8 I just load up each time, edit those audio.m3u8 and video.m3u8 each new episode.

If anyone has any easier way, please let me know.

I have tried the "--custom-range" options, but with so many segments, I have had little success.

VPN to Australia.
VPN and N_m3u8DL-RE = great speed
VPN and yt-dlp = SLOW, and times out for me often

If you use the latest pre-release version of N_m3u8DL-RE you can skip the part of editing out the ad segments using the --ad-keyword flag. In this case it would be something like this (not tested):

--ad-keyword redirector.googlevideo.com

Interesting thanks for the info. I tested this function with the above code and it worked perfectly. Been messing around with SBSOD for a while now and getting lots of mux fail errors with N_m3u8DL-RE. This solves the issue for me.

white_snake - Thanks for the info on this! This certainly worked, as well as cut down a lot of time! Much appreciated!

Thanks, but I cant find "googlevideo.com" and still only download ads.

I get Warning "stream 1 : no PTS found at end of file, duration not set" and "timestamp discontinuity (stream id:256)"
