We should also support urls like http://areena.yle.fi/tv/2309305 (from #4593)

Another form of URL: http://arenan.yle.fi/1-3094091 (from #8896)

[rautamiekka]

https://areena.yle.fi/1-4200978 is a link which returns Unsupported URL.

Is anyone working on this? :(

[Hegezcc]

I am working with this on pull request #20274.

[Zuccace]

Great! I think I could test it already. :)

[Hegezcc]

It works on my computer, just clone the yleareena branch from my repository and run it with python -m youtube_dl https://areena.yle.fi/1-4256816.

I recommend adding -f 'mp4[height<=1080]' flag to the end of the command if you don't require absolutely best quality with a cost in download time and disk space, as youtube-dl default setting is to download with best possible quality and Areena's Kaltura API is very flexible regarding that.

[Zuccace]

I did try it but the first try went nowhere. :(

youtube-dl -f 'bestvideo+bestaudio/best' https://areena.yle.fi/1-4551318
[YleAreena] 1-4551318: Downloading webpage
ERROR: Unable to extract OpenGraph video:url;

I also created an ebuild for adventurous gentoo users.

@Zuccace
Looks like that media is not using the Kaltura API. I might have to reverse engineer that too.

Does this work? Also, that -f 'bestvideo+bestaudio/best' is used by default, you don't need to explicitly give that to get best quality.

youtube-dl https://areena.yle.fi/1-4664683 --test

[Zuccace]

Does this work?

Sure. I just don't know what to do with .mxf.

Looks like Yle has lots of different players across its systems, but Areena has mostly Kaltura players for videos. I don't know why Yle is distributing that document series without Kaltura, as they have some metadata for that series there and the series is quite new. Probably a copyright issue.

yle-dl project has made the following extractors:

• ElavaArkistoExtractor
• ArkivetExtractor
• AreenaLiveRadioExtractor
• AreenaLiveTVHLSExtractor
• AreenaLiveTVHDSExtractor
• YleUutisetExtractor
• AreenaExtractor

Lots of code there. yle-dl's AreenaExtractor has checks for Full HD, HTML5, Elävä Arkisto and Mediakanta medias. Those use at least Kaltura and Akamai services.

[Zuccace]

Probably because some of the content is still delivered trough flash. And yle has stated that they cannot/won't change that for older content. What a mess... -- Ilja Sara

So I did a test download using best possible quality. I got 14 gig video. MPEG2, 1080i. Holy cow! Yle still using mpeg2? Madness...
I need to adjust my download script (wrapper for youtube-dl, not public, yet...) for yle then to accept only h.264, h.265, VP8 or VP9 video codecs.
