Hi @WolfganP Thanks. |
|
@Tony-il-Capo I couldn't find any way to download the individual files other than going to the weekend page sources, and then manually craft a tester page for a single race file as I did above. I was hoping there was a way to parse the weekend page and get at least a playlist that may individually be fed to youtube-dl for individual download, but this issue was closed and I couldn't find any parser around as a semi-automated workaround. |

@Tony-il-Capo it works with https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/releases/tag/2018.05.09, with a simple cmd line: @dstftw you're a legend. Thx a lot for implementing the workaround so promptly. Related question: what's the best way to parse the page and just produce a playlist file and not download the files? (so I later can instruct yt-dl it to download just certain items) --flat-playlist (no media filenames listed, just "X of Y" items) -- get-filename (list the filenames, but not the item # so it's difficult to DL specific items later) --dump-single-json (it puts lot of detailed info on screen but can't redirect it with -o, and std unix redirect ">" produces a mixed file of info lines + json) |
|
Unfortunately, I can't get past the geo restriction (even using --geo-bypass , --geo-bypass-county uk) |
|
I'm not UK based either, but I'm using an smartdns service, that may be the difference. Interestingly, @dstftw implemented a new functionality (--geo-bypass-ip-block) that's harcoded in the ITV extractor https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/extractor/itv.py |
|
Didn't test that, but it's interesting. |

ITV separated the BTCC race videos from the hub (which also seems to be having issues as per #15925)
Lately the video are hosted at http://www.itv.com/btcc/races (ie for a particular weekend all videos are posted at individual pages like: http://www.itv.com/btcc/races/btcc-2018-all-the-action-from-brands-hatch)
Skimming the source code of this sample weekend page, I extracted the vid params and built a test page:
Question 1: is the log error above pointing just to a geo restriction error or is there anything else involved that I missed? (ie: like writing some header to force the ITV scrapper to act instead of a generic one)
Question 2: is there any way to generate a playlist of downloadable items based on pages like http://www.itv.com/btcc/races/btcc-2018-all-the-action-from-brands-hatch with youtube-dl?
