MTV/VH1 not working #9613
MTV/VH1 not working #9613

This is the same issue I reported back in January. That being said, MTV has changed their streaming again this week. |

This is the method they are using now... http://www.mtv.com/full-episodes/boj31q/are-you-the-one-perfect-match-at-first-sight-season-4-ep-401 Play the video and then search for mediagenerator with an url snooper. This will give you the first segment. Paste the above link into your browser and then it will give another url for the video as well as links for subs below that. Once the 1st segment is done playing the next segment will show up on your url snooper. There are usually around 7-9 segments for a 42 minute show. This should be easy enough to implement. All the videos use the same method. |

Does this help guys? Adownloader is able to download the MTV segments/subs without a login, so I know it's possible. Adownloader is buggy as hell though in general so I'd rather use youtube-dl. |

If you click on each segment in the video player timeline, you can get the mediagen url's much faster. I also noticed that not all shows are on the "new" player. It seems like shows that started their season with the "old" player are finishing out that way and shows that new seasons started recently are on the new player. Oh and Spike and VH1 seems to also now use this same player. |

So I see MTV is working now, but it downloads the 8 segments individually and doesn't mux them together into one file at the end. Is there anyway to get youtube-dl to do that? |
|
vh1.com still doesn't work. :( Is the problem due to the video being split into segments? |
|
The series using the new segmented player on mtv and vh1 are still giving errors. MTV: VH1: Both episodes are free and require no account like the topic label says. You can test with these free links: http://www.mtv.com/video-clips/z783wg/are-you-the-one-sneak-peek-trouble-in-the-boom-boom-room All the bonus clips on both sites are free to watch but youtube-dl supports none of them. Atresmedia Downloader (Adownloader) is doing the job for now, but that program always feels like it's going to crash my system and doesn't feel as clean as youtube-dl. NO ACCOUNT is needed to watch the first episodes and bonus clips of the new series that use the segmented player. |
|
Anyone willing to tackle this if I provide a free account? |
|
MTV has been working for quite some time, but VH1 still gives an "Unsupported URL" error. |
|
Looks like they are using a new player for the URL in the last comment that gets a playlist from somewhere with a master.m3u8 for each segment. |

Thanks @mhartkorn and @remitamine |

I checked the supported sites tab and MTV and VH1 are listed, however I get an unsupported URL with the video above. I also tried a couple of others across both VH1 and MTV sites. I have a valid Cable Subscription Account I can use to login.
