Nick.com m3u8 download help

[kevinrm17]

I am trying to capture/save the Legends of the Hidden Temple movie from nick.com. I've tried livestreamer and ffmpeg, but neither seem to work. If someone does seem to 'work', it says it is 'forbidden'. Could someone please show me how to download this (if it's even possible)?

Thanks.

I've tried livestreamer... , but neither seem to work

Try to use the the link to master.m3u8

hlsvariant://https://cp479184-vh.akamaihd.net/i/mtvnorigin/gsp.alias/mediabus/kids.com ... 3128,1920x1080_5128,.mp4.csmil/master.m3u8?hdnea= ... " best -o Hidden Temple.mp4

Maybe somebody has a better solution. I used Chrome browser. Developer tools> network and typed in master.
(See below screenshot, red circles. As the video played in the browser, these master.m3u8 entries appeared. I guess you have to play the whole hour plus video to get all the entries. If you stop/pause or mess with the video, some of the entries will duplicate, which will be a problem. There will probably be about 9 entries for the complete video.
I use the livestreamer template:
livestreamer "hlsvariant://put long master.m3u8 here" best -o file.ts
for smaller file size:
livestreamer "hlsvariant://put long master.m3u8 here" 360p -o file.ts
Here is the first master.m3u8 entry I got from the Chrome network:

Putting that into the livestreamer template I get this:

livestreamer "hlsvariant://https://cp479184-vh.akamaihd.net/i/mtvnorigin/gsp.alias/mediabus/kids.com/2016/11/21/01/12/36/3e53ea64d47c45bca2d9ca9cfbfc8d8d/1413996/bAymn7Fo5I_HDNSZ704A1_1413996_6794335_,384x216_278,512x288_498,640x360_1028,768x432_1528,960x540_2128,1280x720_3128,1920x1080_5128,.mp4.csmil/master.m3u8?hdnea=st%3D1483015118%7Eexp%3D1483029518%7Eacl%3D%2Fi%2Fmtvnorigin%2Fgsp.alias%2Fmediabus%2Fkids.com%2F2016%2F11%2F21%2F01%2F12%2F36%2F3e53ea64d47c45bca2d9ca9cfbfc8d8d%2F1413996%2FbAymn7Fo5I_HDNSZ704A1_1413996_6794335_%2C384x216_278%2C512x288_498%2C640x360_1028%2C768x432_1528%2C960x540_2128%2C1280x720_3128%2C1920x1080_5128%2C.mp4.csmil%2F*%7Ehmac%3D40ec07b1fb33471a6e8e481377244e3617f4b29faf8a3983dee4190bbdd0a58c&__a__=off&__b__=450&__viacc__=NONE" 360p -o file.ts

I put this into command line and downloaded the file. I repeated this with the other master.m3u8 entries (9 total).
Then I used a software to combine all the 9 files into one video.
If you rename all the files like file1.ts, file2.ts, file3.ts... etc
you could use this ffmpeg command to join all the files:
ffmpeg -i "concat:file1.ts|file2.ts|file3.ts" -c copy output.ts
Note: you have to get your own master.m3u8 because they expire after a while.
For your convenience, I uploaded the video and you can download it here:

Direct 1080p link

ceppu36,
Can you tell me how you got that link? If I want smaller resolution (360p) what would the link be?
Also, the above link you gave only plays the first 7min 50sec of the video, not the whole 1hour video.

Sorry about that.

ceppu36,
Can you tell me how you got those mp4 links? The method I used (see above post) uses livestreamer to download, so I can see your method is different, although both methods will download the video. Can you tell me how you got the mp4 links ( steps you used, screenshots would be helpful).
