you get a different session ID
because every time you run it
its a new session
so you get a different session ID
nothing new there


theres nothing in the source page apart from the stream url
so you can scrape that page with

wget

wget -q -O - "http://www.glturk.com/ajax.aspx?stream=live&type=free&ppoint=ShowTV_LR/ShowTV_LR" > file

or curl

curl -s "http://www.glturk.com/ajax.aspx?stream=live&type=free&ppoint=ShowTV_LR/ShowTV_LR" > file2

both of those commands scrape fine
both of the scraped m3u8's play
it must be you (what are you trying to play them on)

that has got to be the easiest site in the world to scrape
both commands work all you have to do is copy and paste
if you cant scrape that site with that info then you better give up


the quality of those streams is terrible
why whould anyone want to scrape a site for terrible quality streams

I've been scraping sites for years,

dont think so

I'm trying to scrape a website (www.glturk.com), but I seem to get different session ID's when I run my PHP code. I don't understand why

says the guy who dont understand why the session ID's changes

Retrieving the m3u8 is a piece of cake, but ONLY if you run the glturk.com/ajax website directly through a browser it works. If you try to retrieve it via an external host/PHP, the link won't work, even though the link looks fine.

your talking outter your a hole

you need to get the session ID from your own ip
when you use this site
-https://wget.alanreed.org/
you now have a session ID that belongs to the ip of alanreed.org

use wget in a terminal in linux
or use wget-1.18 for windows
from the ip that it will played on





the scraped m3u8 play on any device


vlc

kodi

enigma2

i can go on

i cant see why your having problems you must be thick
no other web page needed no cookie needed
just the url of the source and wget


scrape a page with a small peice of code
get the m3u8 and play it

can even add a small peice of sed code
and turn every link on that site into a m3u playlist


heres the link you posted in post 7
the scraped m3u8 playing in
vlc
and
xbmc

God you just don't get it lol, your screenshot is just loading the direct aspx link and playing it.... No sh*t Sherlock, of course it'll work....
Quite a lot of your replies on this forum sound like you are an expert, yet are all invalid lol.

I'm done with this forum, goodbye!

the screenshots shows the page and the url that was scraped with wget
the stream url playing in vlc and xbmc is the url that was scraped with wget


let me show your thick brain how to scrape that page and turn it into a m3u

this script scrapes your crap stream with wget and sed edits the code into a working m3u


name of script

ShowTV_m3u_update.sh

chmod the script 755

#!/bin/bash

wget -q -O - "http://www.glturk.com/ajax.aspx?stream=live&type=free&ppoint=ShowTV_LR/ShowTV_LR" > /etc/ShowTV.m3u ;sed -i '1i #EXTM3U' /etc/ShowTV.m3u ;sed -i '2i #EXTINF:-1,ShowTV' /etc/ShowTV.m3u
echo "ShowTV.m3u updated"
exit 0

bearing in mind these streams you want are very bad rubbish quality




and theres you calling a stream url with a session ID via a different ip ie a webpage
then expect it to work on your ip
lol


good luck
