Strangely enough, that command wouldn't work at all on my mac's Bash shell - I believe it was picking up ! as an event of some sort. Running $ export E="!"

I have changed the rtlxl.nl extractor to use m3u8 streams instead of f4m, so this issue should be fixed in the next release of youtube-dl. @iggyvolz, wow that's quite a trick you've pulled with the variable substitution! However, you could've just used single quotes instead of double quotes, as single quotes inhibit all interpretation of the string inside the quotes. |
|
I see you've chosen to go for the 'adaptive-json' (DRM variant). Why? ( info = self._download_json(
'http://www.rtl.nl/system/s4m/vfd/version=2/uuid=%s/fmt=flash/' % uuid,
uuid)
...
videopath = material['videopath'].replace('f4m','m3u8')
m3u8_url = 'http://manifest.us.rtl.nl' + videopath
formats = self._extract_m3u8_formats(m3u8_url, uuid, ext='mp4')
video_urlpart = videopath.split('/flash/')[1][:-4]Simply replace 'f4m' with 'm3u8' in "videopath" of the 'flash-json', and you have the 'non-DRM-manifest-playlist'. |

My motivation was to make it more robust, so I have tried to mimic the behavior of the flash player in the browser. If you can confirm that the method of simply replacing the |

I have just tested numerous videos and I can confirm this method works. |

Hi naglis, are you still going to make that change? If not, then at least change line 47 accordingly: video_urlpart = videopath.split('/adaptive/')[1][:-5] |
|
Hi @corone17, BTW, this got a little mixed with the original issue, feel free to open new issues for any problems/suggestions you might have in the future ;) |

Sorry to yet again comment here, but this still concerns this issue. Like I pointed out above, line 47 is still incorrect. From the JSON: Then because The extension is now 4 characters instead of 3 and therefore after video_urlpart = videopath.split('/flash/')[1][:-4]
PG_URL_TEMPLATE = 'http://pg.us.rtl.nl/rtlxl/network/%s/progressive/%s.mp4'
formats.extend([
{
'url': PG_URL_TEMPLATE % ('a2m', video_urlpart),
'format_id': 'pg-sd',
},
{
'url': PG_URL_TEMPLATE % ('a3m', video_urlpart),
'format_id': 'pg-hd',
'quality': 0,
}
])format and has a period too many. Line 47 therefore has to be: video_urlpart = videopath.split('/adaptive/')[1][:-5] |
|
That was pretty sloppy of me. Thanks! Should be fixed in the next version of youtube-dl. |
|
Working fine now. Thanks, naglis. |

I'm running the latest YT-DL version on Win7. Something probably changed on the RTLxl.nl site?
Thanx in advance for looking into this issue!
