Need help with a downloading script for screenocean.com

[paul92]

Hi all.

I am at the end of tether here, I have been struggling with this for the whole day, I am using ChatGPT to assist me, but it keeps on messing the code up.


I want to build a script which will automatically download videos from screenocean.com I can do it all manually, but I want to build an all in one type solution.

To do this, my plan is to copy the video URL on the script, it them will retrieve the master m3u8 file, then it will hand it over to yt-dlp to construct the relevant segments.

I've got it to ask for the URL, but as soon as I click enter, it says m3u8 not found.

here is my script - or at least the one which has something working

import requests
import re
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

def extract_master_playlist_url(url):
try:
# Make a GET request to the provided URL
response = requests.get(url)
response.raise_for_status() # Raise an exception for 4xx/5xx status codes

# Parse the HTML content
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, 'html.parser')

# Find all script tags
script_tags = soup.find_all('script')

# Initialize variables to store results
script_content = None
playlist_url = None

# Loop through script tags to find relevant JavaScript snippet
for script_tag in script_tags:
if script_tag.string:
script_content = script_tag.string

# Use regex to find the .m3u8 URL within iwPlayer.options["ImagenPlayer"].url
match = re.search(r'iwPlayer\.options\["ImagenPlayer"\]\s*=\s*{\s*url\s*:\s*["\'](https?:\/\/[^"\']+\.(?:m3u8)[^"\']*)["\']', script_content)
if match:
playlist_url = match.group(1)
break

if playlist_url:
return playlist_url
else:
return "No .m3u8 URL found in JavaScript."

except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
return f"Error fetching URL: {str(e)}"

if __name__ == "__main__":
# Ask user to input the URL
video_url = input("Enter the URL of the video: ").strip()

# Call function to extract master playlist URL
playlist_url = extract_master_playlist_url(video_url)

# Write results to log.txt
with open('log.txt', 'w') as f:
f.write(f"URL Entered: {video_url}\n")
f.write(f"Result: {playlist_url}\n")
f.write("\nHTML Content:\n")
f.write(BeautifulSoup(requests.get(video_url).cont ent, 'html.parser').prettify())

if playlist_url.startswith("http"):
print(f"Master Playlist URL: {playlist_url}")
else:
print(f"Error: {playlist_url}")

print("Results have been exported to log.txt")

Log file reveals

URL Entered: https://licensing.screenocean.com/record/231850
Result: No .m3u8 URL found.

but I go further down into the log it becomes clear that the m3u8 url is there {"url":"https:\/\/licensingmediascreenocean.imagencloud.com\/storage\/v1\/hls\/0x060a2b340101010201010f1213194b64ec55350373810580 04f2000D3A2029EF.m3u8","signature":"?sig=g3X1jL0X5 YijTcFVXSzXBhkzffvVxsFUdSIp8rAWTHs&d=1&et=17204276 14",
it's just skipping past it.

If anyone is able to assist me, it will be greatly appreciated.

I haven't yet got to the part which sends to ffmpg or YT-DLP for processing, this is simply the first part which generates the master URL from the video URL, as decided to program the parts separately.

Thanks guys

You don't even need a python script for this.
