  1. I'm trying to download a stream from a paid sports site but haven't find a way to. There is no .m3u8, no manifest, no .ism. Just a bunch of .m4f files. Here's how the link to the .mpd dash looks like:

    https://ncdn-catchup-ssl.pfd.sfr.net/out/vod/dash/c/2da/RMS5342666/RMS5342666.mpd

    The site I'm trying to download from is rmcsport.tv. It's unfortunately behind a paywall so I don't know if anyone can figure out how to download just off of my info. Note that Video DownloadHelper shows a bunch of .mp4 and audio files.

    I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

  2. That'd be risky for me because you'd have access to my account and would be able to charge my account for stuff... Rather, I'm trying to see if the User-Agent Switcher + The Stream Detector could work, but I'm not able to click when I choose User Agent Apple iOS. Do you know how I can click? I've tried using Ctrl + Shift + M while in iOS User Agent, but still not able to click. Thanks.

    You can get HLS for this instead, i just played around.
    So in the link:
    you see a part called /dash/. I tried renaming it to /hls/ and then tried renaming the stream fiile to .m3u8 and voala:
    This m3u8 will have all kinds of resolutions,including 1080p i think.
    Now all you need to do this use youtube-dl or streamlink to capture the video

    streamlink.exe "https://ncdn-catchup-ssl.pfd.sfr.net/out/vod/hls/c/2da/RMS5342666/RMS5342666.m3u8" best -o video.ts
    or
    youtube-dl.exe "https://ncdn-catchup-ssl.pfd.sfr.net/out/vod/hls/c/2da/RMS5342666/RMS5342666.m3u8"
    You're welcome.

    Hello,

    I used the trick above and downloaded with youtube-dl, to no avail.

    Code:
    c:\>youtube-dl.exe https://lil1-cdn-edge-vod00.pfd.sfr.net/ncdn-cu-kairos-lyo0.pfd.sfr.net/sid=01rrpvedvh7i22sbca80/dashcenc/catchup/NEUF_BFMTV/51c/WFM1_BFM3085238/manifest.mpd

    Is it definitely off-limit with youtube-dl?

    Thank you.

    Use ytdlp
    Code:
    ytdlp.exe --allow-u "https://lil1-cdn-edge-vod00.pfd.sfr.net/ncdn-cu-kairos-lyo0.pfd.sfr.net/sid=01rrpvedvh7i22sbca80/dashcenc/catchup/NEUF_BFMTV/51c/WFM1_BFM3085238/manifest.mpd"
    However, content is encrypted, and you'll have to use Guesser to get keys for decryption, use mp4decrypt to decrypt and ffmpeg to mux video and audio.

    Thanks, I'll read up on Guesser and mp4decrypt

    Edit: As an easier work-around, I simply recorded the screen with OBS.
