Support tv.nrk.no

[amaurea]

While support for video clips at www.nrk.no, the new online TV site tv.nrk.no is apparently not supported. See for example the following URL:

http://tv.nrk.no/serie/20-spoersmaal-tv/muhh48000314/23-05-2014

The output from --verbose is:

This is with version 2014.05.19.

The following scripts manage to download the file:

http://folk.uio.no/sigurdkn/nrkdl
http://folk.uio.no/sigurdkn/AdobeHDS.php.txt

(the .txt is just there to prevent the server from trying to execute the php file). The latter script is a part of KSVScripts. I've seen Adobe HDS on other sites too, so getting support for this should help for more than just NRK.

[dstftw]

Thanks for the report. Support for tv.nrk.no has been added and will be available in the next release of youtube-dl.

[amaurea]

Wow, that was incredibly fast! And the implementation was very short. I thought this would be a difficult format to add support for, considering the length of AdobeHDS.php above. Was this format already understood? Anyway, thanks!

[dstftw]

Yes, we already have generic Adobe HDS support. Hence support for new hosters just boils down to extracting manifest link.

[phihag]

Fixed in youtube-dl 2014.05.30.1.

http://tv.nrksuper.no/ is identical, just branded towards kids.

I tried to get this working in version 2014.06.07-1 from debian, without success:

The original 20 question url do work, so I guess there is something special about the snowdenurl.

[Kagee]

The "snowdenurl" uses capital characters, and needs something like Issue #3090

[unhammer]

I just tried this for the first time, grabbed the first url I found and got

@unhammer you are using an outdated version of youtube-dl. Read our FAQ if you have troubles updating.

[unhammer]

@dstftw OK, I thought that version number looked so recent but I guess youtube-dl moves fast; it works with git :-)
