  1. This is an actual piece of lost media that I've been trying to get for a long time.
    OK, I need help for this please. And this is very long, so stay with me.
    So, I’ve been trying my best at getting videos from SproutOnline.com. Then, stumbled into this Videolan forum:
    https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/18262
    https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/19370
    Found these urls:
    http://sproutonline-pmd.edgesuite.net/MPX/video/NBCU_Sprout/329/903/161203_3435155_The..._Toys_1800.mp4
    http://sproutonline-pmd.edgesuite.net/MPX/video/NBCU_Sprout/71/479/160727_3075367_Cail..._Time_2500.mp4
    http://sproutonline-pmd.edgesuite.net/MPX/video/NBCU_Sprout/71/479/160727_3075363_Cail...ctive_2500.mp4

    Then, I went to the original video links:
    https://web.archive.org/web/20170615203708/http://www.sproutonline.com/watch/noddy-toy...ase-wonky-toys
    In the source, there’s this:
    https://player.theplatform.com/p/O6OKIC/3n0c8OCr9vs_/select/media/cTp8XlmtONOf?form=ht...ase-wonky-toys
    In the Player, there’s this:
    https://link.theplatform.com/s/O6OKIC/media/cTp8XlmtONOf
    On the Wayback Machine, I found that if you put some stuff after if, it reveals the captions and thumbnail image:
    https://link.theplatform.com/s/O6OKIC/media/cTp8XlmtONOf?player=Captions%20Testing%20P..._.P0.onSuccess

    Take the captions/thumbnail image link:
    https://static-sproutonline.akamaized.net/MPX/image/NBCU_Sprout/329/903/161203_3435155..._Wonky_Toys.tt
    https://static-sproutonline.akamaized.net/MPX/image/NBCU_Sprout/329/903/161203_3435155...Wonky_Toys.jpg

    In the url, replace “image” with “video”, then add the quality & mp4 part.
    http://sproutonline-pmd.edgesuite.net/MPX/video/NBCU_Sprout/329/903/161203_3435155_The..._Toys_1800.mp4
    Now, you have the video!

    However, with this video:
    https://web.archive.org/web/20170323030720/http://www.sproutonline.com:80/watch/good-n...t-show-camping

    I get this url:
    https://web.archive.org/web/20240222183816/https://link.theplatform.com/s/HNK2IC/media...=251&width=446
    https://link.theplatform.com/s/HNK2IC/media/valIWu77QkXA?format=Script&height=251&width=446

    In it, contains a url I haven’t seen before:
    https://web.archive.org/web/20240222183816/https://tve-static-sprout.akamaized.net/pro...4826819601.jpg
    https://tve-static-sprout.akamaized.net/prod/image/759/11/170210_3468405_Good_Night_Sh...4826819601.jpg

    This url:
    https://tve-static-sprout.akamaized.net
    Doesn’t work with the trick that I’ve demonstrated.

    I’ve seen this “tve” link with multiple other “ThePlatform.com” sites, but none have shown what exactly to do to find the links.

    However, while looking through a subdomain website:
    https://subdomainfinder.c99.nl/scans/2020-04-25/nbcuni.com
    https://ghostarchive.org/archive/R39M3

    I found this url:
    https://tvesprouthls.nbcuni.com

    From what I can gather, this seems to be the method used to actually get the m3u8/hls links for the full episodes. NBC uses this method for all of their channels like SyFy, USA Network or Telemundo. Where you will get a m3u8 and can download the full thing using tools like yt-dlp.

    For example:
    Video link:
    https://web.archive.org/web/20240301083015/https://www.syfy.com/videos/jurassic-worlds...red-the-actors
    https://www.syfy.com/videos/jurassic-worlds-dinosaurs-actually-scared-the-actors

    m3u8 link:
    Archive:
    https://web.archive.org/web/20231105185815/https://tvesyfyhls.nbcuni.com/tve-adstitch/...8068_1800.m3u8
    Direct:
    https://tvesyfyhls.nbcuni.com/tve-adstitch/1008/18/10/15/3812858/181015_3812858_Jurass...8068_1800.m3u8
    Image:
    https://web.archive.org/web/20240706203233/https://tve-static-syfy.akamaized.net/prod/...y_Scared_T.jpg
    https://tve-static-syfy.akamaized.net/prod/image/464/423/181015_3812858_Jurassic_World...y_Scared_T.jpg

    From what I can tell, this is how NBCU channels for TVE links get footage from.
    However, I have yet to find any template or url for this instance specifically.
    Help is really appreciated!

    Examples for testing:
    The Good Night Show – Space
    Video Link:
    https://web.archive.org/web/20160410134404/http://www.sproutonline.com:80/watch/space
    Theplatform.com:
    https://web.archive.org/web/20240512164906/http://link.theplatform.com/s/HNK2IC/media/..._.P0.onSuccess

    Poppy Cat – Brown Bear
    Video Link:
    https://web.archive.org/web/20160508175446/http://www.sproutonline.com:80/watch/brown-bear
    Theplatform.com:
    https://web.archive.org/web/20240228213208/http://link.theplatform.com/s/HNK2IC/media/..._.P0.onSuccess

    You posted the exact same thing last month and got no replies. Hardly surprising, that's 5 minutes of my life I'm not getting back. Reads like a giant fishing exercise to me.

    Now, you have the video!
    How did you know the quality is represented by "1800"? How did you reach that conclusion? Trial and error?

    its the usual indicator on NBCUsites. 1800,2500,4000 etc.

    @OP I don't think what you want is possible. Even if you figure out the template, the resource is probably gone considering that
    https://tve-static-sprout.akamaized.net/prod/caption/535/11/160407_3015365_Space.tt
    and
    https://tve-static-sprout.akamaized.net/prod/image/535/11/160407_3015365_Space_anvver_...5251395761.jpg

    are gone as opposed to the first platform link
    https://static-sproutonline.akamaized.net/MPX/image/NBCU_Sprout/329/903/161203_3435155..._Wonky_Toys.tt
    https://static-sproutonline.akamaized.net/MPX/image/NBCU_Sprout/329/903/161203_3435155...Wonky_Toys.jpg

    You should try to look for another source.

    The other values work too for "the case of wonky toys". Good to know. Thanks.
