Please help with a video from screenocean.com

[paul92]

This website has a lot of rare content.

Videos are in HQ, but unfortunately appear to have a watermark, but which I would love somehow remove if possible, but my main focus is to download.

Here's a link https://licensing.screenocean.com/record/231616

attempted with YT-DLP, but does not seem to work.

Also please explain how you managed to it, as I want to learn.

Thanks in advance.

I have taken the linux code provided by 2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi (Great work. Thanks) and modified it so that it can run on windows.

curl -s "https://licensing.screenocean.com/record/231616" | grep -oP ".url.:.[^\x22]*\x22,.signature.:.[^\x22]*\x22" | sed -e "s/.url.:.\([^\x22]*\)\x22,.signature.:.\([^\x22]*\)\x22/\1\2/" | tr -d '\\' | xargs -I {} yt-dlp "{}"

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

Well done @jack.

Just leaving this as a tip here in case other users are interested in running bash commands directly on windows without wasting time on installing complicated tools. You can install (or use portable) git bash.

Can't believe I didn't see this before I posted again. Thank you so much..

I've tweaked it a bit, and downloads fly

#!/bin/bash

# Prompt the user to enter the URL
read -p "Enter the URL of the video page: " page_url

# Extract the video URL and download it using yt-dlp
curl -s "$page_url" \
| grep -oP '"url":"[^"]*","signature":"[^"]*"' \
| sed -E 's/"url":"([^"]*)","signature":"([^"]*)"/\1\2/' \
| tr -d '\\' \
| xargs -I {} yt-dlp --concurrent-fragments 32 --continue --output "%(title)s.%(ext)s" "{}" | tee download.log

I wanted to combine this with something which pulls the logo, but the logo is in different places on each video, so won't be as easy.

Thanks for your help so far.

Videohelp really lives up to it's reputation as a "help site"

The things I have learnt here have been valuable.

Thanks again.

I wanted to combine this with something which pulls the logo

If logo means thumbnail

curl -s "https://licensing.screenocean.com/record/231616" \
| grep -oP '<[^>]*video_thumb[^>]*src="[^"]*"' \
| grep -oP 'src="\K[^"]*' \

| grep -i '^location' \
| tail -1 \
| awk '{print $2}' \
| xargs -I {} curl -s -o thumb.jpg {}

My apologies, used slang. Pull in this instance means remove.

There is this watermark somewhere near the top corner of the screen. Which I have been able to remove manually, but was hoping it was in the same place so it could be done automatically, but this isn't too much of an issue, as I know how to do it manually. Will take a bit of time, but I don't use all the videos.

I think you can pipe another command with ffmpeg for the downloaded output. I don't know the right parameters but I think ffmpeg can handle your issue.

ffmpeg -i "/home/item.mpg" \
       -vf "delogo=x=124:y=61:w=292:h=30:show=0, delogo=x=414:y=44:w=22:h=20:show=0" \
       -c:a copy \
       "/home/item_logos_removed.mpg"

Yes it does - using something like the above presently, however need to manually enter each co-ordinate around the logo. A pain, but it gets the job done.

[paul92]

Could something similar be done to download videos from a website called nzonscreen.com Here's one video. https://www.nzonscreen.com/title/get-some-sleep-2002

The website structure looks very similar to screenocean. I attempted myself, and didn't it didn't work, so will leave this here. Not opening a new thead, as the request is too similar.

[jack_666]

This is not the same technique. Stream is encrypted (AES-128)

Download the m3u8 and store it locally.


The decryption key is
(base64)54Y1KnD56JU6EwdsHvxw5Q== (hex)e786352a70f9e8953a13076c1efc70e5


use this command

hlsdl -K "e786352a70f9e8953a13076c1efc70e5" -o "blablabla.ts" "blablabla.m3u8"

@jack_666 sir i have some unfinished work with you if you remember , i couldnot approach you so i am leaving a message here sir !

i have some unfinished work with you ... where I am from those are considered fighting and threatening words. It's as if you want my home address so as to come over and punch me.


if you remember No I don't


i couldnot approach you don't feel bad as you are not the only one.


so i am leaving a message here There are numerous contributors here with talents that far surpass mine. Make your requests, ask your questions and I am positive that you will receive help.


Have a great day and I wish you well in all your endeavors.

we had worked on some projects in Discord previously and i was blocked without completing the task , i had really felt dissapointed on why it happened to me , i didnot mean to offend you , i mean the task wasnot completed and i was betrayed as i had lost my savings

I take extreme umbrage at these remarks. I consider your remarks to be slanderous.


I have never had any dealings with you and highly recommend that you contact me via Discord. I take these accusations very seriously.


You just cannot get on a platform such as this and start falsely accusing people.

[paul92]

When you help some people out, it becomes an expectation for some.

Popped on quickly Just want to say thank you so much to jack_666, and 2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi.

Your assistance has been really helpful.

Videohelp has to be one of the most helpful communities on the internet for those who have an interest in streaming, and video and everyone seems to be willing to assist. I have managed to accomplish so much with the assistance of people on here, that I wouldn't have managed to accomplish otherwise

Thanks once again guys. This forum is one of the best around....

Hello All,

I'm new here. I was just wondering whether anyone could recommend a tool that can remove a screenocean.com watermark that covers the entire video. I have attached a photo to show you what it is like. The video can be found under the following address, where it can freely be viewed by all:

https://licensing.screenocean.com/record/216090

Since I am not too hot a coding, a programme / piece of software would be preferable, if possible. Thanks in advance for your help - or alternatively, for denuding me of hope should this prove to be an impossible endeavour!

Best wishes,

Venator

[larley]

It's burnt into the video, can't do much

https://licensing.screenocean.com/record/216090

I've seen the occasional logo/watermark in the corner video. But this one is on a whole new level what the hell

You could try the delogo ffmpeg solution

ffmpeg -i "/home/item.mpg" \
       -vf "delogo=x=124:y=61:w=292:h=30:show=0, delogo=x=414:y=44:w=22:h=20:show=0" \
       -c:a copy \
       "/home/item_logos_removed.mpg"

Yes it does - using something like the above presently, however need to manually enter each co-ordinate around the logo. A pain, but it gets the job done.

But I think it's a lost cause since the watermark covers the entire screen. No idea what ffmpeg is gonna do.


Or you can download it from here 480p max (ignore the time difference, the start/middle/end match)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALQiYi0g0lA

Or if 480p is too low, try another source.

[Venator]

Thank you very much to both of you for your answers. I suspected that it might be a lost cause.

I was already aware of the YouTube upload, and I have dowloaded that, as well. However, that version cuts a couple of sections due to copyright. I used to have the programme on VHS in the '80s, but the cassette has long since gone the way of the dodo.

Much gratitude once again for your kind responses.

Best wishes,

Venator

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

If I was in your place and that video was important to me, I'd just download the youtube video, check what parts are missing, and cut+join them from the full version with that logo. 51:16 ~ 51:57, that is just 41 seconds of logo hell which may be "acceptable" for some

I have considered doing that with Filmora. In light of the responses here, I suspect that will be the route that I take. It should be noted that the YouTube version contains an advert break (or parts thereof), which change the timing that you mention somewhat. However the edited sections are basically 46 seconds of a Shadows perfomance from 1962 with off-screen narration and a further 43 seconds of The Police's promo video for "Every Breath You Take". That's just shy of a minute-and-half of logo hell. If one adds the introductory sequence, which is missing from the YouTube upload, one is at around 104 seconds with the logo. I agree that is acceptable within the context of a programme length which clocks in at over 50 minutes. Given the quality and unexpurgated nature of the screenocean upload, I had hoped that there might be a way of removing the watermark. However, the splicing together that you moot would indeed seem to be the next best thing.

Thanks again, and best wishes,

Venator
