Using PHP to extract automatically or alter session/token and auto record

[sirprancelot]

Hi all,

I've been following intently trying to learn up from scratch how to create a PHP script that will enable me to extract M3U8s automatically and/or alter pre-existing links to then feed into recording via livestreamer (though I may end up also using ffmpeg which I am more used to). Now my problem is I have seen some previous examples posted by biezom that I am struggling to follow due to my total noobness when it comes to PHP scripting.

The sample sites I am looking at are MamaHD and StreamHD.eu. What I am able to get is the m3u8s manually right now but this is no good for recording as one creates a new session id each time you click on it and then expires (MamaHD) and the other is HLS variant so runs super quick. So I am trying to tackle this several different ways... not quite knowing what the best is. I've ended up deciding PHP is a good way to go as I can just about read it and edit it but some of the terminology i.e. pgrep_match ... that I believe I need to use is stumping me. I understand how to get livestreamer to do a straight out record i.e. livestreamer "hls://http://94.102.50.93:8081/live/mamahdsky11.m3u8?e=1475580868&st=eVpb5x0LfodiovcZs BM_ig" best -o mama.ts but for scheduling recording this is not good and I need to in this case scrape the URL at point of record or at teh very least update from .m3u8? onwards.

The code I have been trying to create variations on is:

<?php
$return=file_get_contents("http://mamahd.com/sky-sports-1-live-free-stream-1.html"); preg_match('/m3u8?e=: "(.*?)"/', $return, $token);

$return2=file_get_contents("http://89.248.172.45:8081/live/mamahdsky11.m3u8?e=$token); $hls=str_replace("http","hls://http";
$date = date("H:i_d-m-Y"); $outputfile= $date . "-mama.ts";
echo "Starting livestreamer...\n\n";
echo shell_exec("livestreamer \"$hls\" best -o \"$outputfile\" &");
echo "Done.\n";
?>

Which is probably totally incorrect. I know what I want this to do but I am having a pig of a time trying to get it to behave. I want to also do similarly for streamhd.eu (i.e. http://www.streamhd.eu/tv/sky-sports-1-live-stream.php - which is offline at time of writing) but I can't work it out at all as that one is an hls variant. One of the things I am struggling with is how to discover the argument for preg_match.. I mean I can find an m3u8 no probs but examples I have seen elsewhere are referring to things like "src" etc which I'm not sure if I should be using chrome developer tools for or really how to find the easiest way to track down such things for the sample sites I am using. I'd really like to be able to scrape the entire link but I'd also be interested to learn how to scrape a portion of the urls (i.e. if they have tokens at the end or like mamahd changing values such as e= and st=). If anyone can give me some pointers as to how best to do this and is able to point out the mammoth mistakes I am no doubt making, I'd be really really grateful.

hi

try this

<?php


$opts1 = array(
  'http'=>array(
    'method'=>"GET",
    'header'=>"Referer: \r\n" .
		"User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0 Iceweasel/42.0)"       
  )
);

$return=file_get_contents("http://mamahd.com/sky-sports-1-live-free-stream-1.html", false, stream_context_create($opts1));
preg_match('/iframe.*?src="(.*?)"/', $return, $iframe);

$return=file_get_contents($iframe[1], false, stream_context_create($opts1));

preg_match('/fid="(.*?)"/', $return, $fid);

$opts2 = array(
  'http'=>array(
    'method'=>"GET",
    'header'=>"Referer: $iframe[1]\r\n" .

);

$return=file_get_contents("http://hdcast.org/embedlive1.php?u=$fid[1]", false, stream_context_create($opts2));

preg_match('/allowtransparency="true" src=(.*?)\&/', $return, $embed);


$opts3 = array(

  )
);

$return=file_get_contents("$embed[1]", false, stream_context_create($opts3));
preg_match('/file:"(.*?)"/', $return, $m3u8);

echo "$m3u8[1]\n\n";

$hls=str_replace("http","hls://http",$m3u8[1]);

$date = date("H-i_d-m-Y");
$outputfile= $date . "-mama.ts";
echo "$outputfile\n\n";
echo "Starting livestreamer...\n\n";
echo shell_exec("livestreamer \"$hls\" best -o \"$outputfile\" &");
echo "Done.\n";
?>

Thankyou so much for replying!! I've tried running the script. It runs but it's not outptting anything or showing anything is being grabbed. I am just getting a long livestreamer function list. Any thoughts? This was a much longer script than i expected so thanks again for all the effort!!!

Why should you get help ?

Sky Sports is NOT free. It is a UK based subscription service. That website is getting and sharing the streams illegally. And since this is not free it is beyond the rules of the forum.
