[remitamine]

if I completely fixed this issue, I would've closed it, it only fixed the extraction for old videos hosted on azure CDN.
there is a need to handle free CDN type for Nexx, but I'm not working on it for now.

[testos77]

I've been trying to code the new handle for the "free" cdn type. New or important compared to azure seems to be (full json below)
"hash":"8DZUCYZR1512345"
"cdnFolder":"292446133"
"cdnPathHTTP":"vcdn.vod.spiegel.de/"
"cdnPathHLS":"vcdn.hls.spiegel.de/"
"cdnPathDASH":"vcdn.hls.spiegel.de/"

which results in the http call for dash:
http://vcdn.hls.spiegel.de/748/91/34/1534319/asset.ism/manifest.mpd?dcp_ver=aos4&videostream=8DZUCYZR1512345_320x180_400.mp4:400000,8DZUCYZR1512345_640x360_700.mp4:700000,8DZUCYZR1512345_720x404_900.mp4:900000,8DZUCYZR1512345_1024x576_1500.mp4:1500000&audiostream=8DZUCYZR1512345_1024x576_1500.mp4

At the moment I don't know how to get to the part of the http get from json cdn folder result:
/748/ 91/34/ 1534319/

you can also call https://arc.nexx.cloud/api/video/1534319.json directly

A release version with commit 06ea7bd has not happened yet, it seems..

Try running git master

[Currrupted]

@Hrxn At last I was able to compile master as an application.
And it works perfectly! Thank you very much!

[RokerHRO]

Yep, works here too. Thanks a lot! :-)
