Want to learn about downloading sproutvideo streams

[ChezBompaLawijt]

Tried the demo again. Result same. Doesnt download. This is the allavsoft log.

The user agent shown in the above log ("Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:47.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47.0") will return 403 with a mp url every time.

The mp url is working with other user agents. Does the allavsoft program have an option to set the user agent?

Tubedigger is a better program. The tubedigger guy knows what he is doing.

Allavsoft does not have the user agent option nor does it have proxy all i can see is there is a firefox and chrome plugin idk what it does

I've verified that the user agent is the issue with allavsoft downloading from sprout using the sprout mp url.

The user agent value is within the main allavsoft program executable.

So can we not get the template alongwith the agent and headers from allavsoft logs and simply change the agent value to mobile and initiate download from ffmpeg or ytb-dl? Wouldn't that work?

Works with password protected links:

Chrome, use the addon GetThemAll 27.1.1 (free, old extension get from archive, you will need to enable chrome dev mode to load unpacked extension)

Click play/pause vid.

in GetThemAll extension Click "links" and download the following files

1080.key
1080.m3u8

1080_00000.ts - 1080_00037.ts (open .m3u8 file and make sure you have all parts, if not copy the url from getthemall and just edit the number)

Move all files to same folder

run ffmpeg to combine and auto decrypt:

ffmpeg -allowed_extensions ALL -i 1080.m3u8 -c copy output.ts

Install Wireshark
Install tubedigger Trial

Start download, copy url from wireshark packet log
Paste into youtube-dl

easy.

Good

Works like a charm. Only thing is, after I play/paused the video, I could only see till "1080_0029.ts"... play again and got till ..0033.ts. Pause/play/pause ...0035.ts... repeat ...0037.ts. Any idea why this happened?

Posting another method, possibly easier if you are familiar with youtube-dl.

1. git clone this edited fork of youtube-dl https://github.com/TheZ3ro/youtube-dl/tree/sproutvideo (the author has implemented a downloader specifically for sproutvideo)

git clone --single-branch --branch sproutvideo https://github.com/TheZ3ro/youtube-dl.git

2. navigate into the newly cloned folder titled "youtube-dl"
3. run the following command

python -m youtube_dl https://videos.sproutvideo.com/embed/XYZ/XYZ

4. fin

hopefully it should start downloading, if not you could try including the --referer "https://referer.address"

also, the existing pull request from the author regarding the sprotvideo downloader https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/pull/21962
