Itv.pm downloads started failing (15/6/13) due to new swf player URL #511

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
the ITV player URL changed to

https://www.itv.com/mediaplayer/releases/13.6.1.3/ITVMediaPlayer.swf?v=13.6.1.3

From the old mercury one, causing rtmpdump swfUrl hash validation to fail and
downloads to stop working.  Fix by refactoring the Itv.pm module to make
updating the swfUrl in a single place work much better and change the URL to
be the new one.

Your needs to supply more details. This is take from the source of a programme 
today.

<video autoplay="false" muted="false" width="704" height="396">
    <object name="ITVMediaPlayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
      <param name="swfBasePath" value="https://www.itv.com/mediaplayer/"/>
      <param name="videoId" value="I_32_2f2533_2f0002_23001"/>
      <param name="poster" value="https://www.itv.com/itvplayer/sites/itvplayer/files/styles/posterframe/public/images/hash/59/4c/594cdeeb24944316a639b69fc62a3472.png"/>
      <param name="actionAlt" value="Call-to-action icon that denotes the video-related action you can perform"/>
              <param name="validateRegion" value="true"/>
          </object>
  </video>

That's still the old form, without a specific example I can't change this. It's 
could break other downloads, that work for me. I've not seen download problems 
myself.

I don't understand what else you're looking for.  What you quote above
is several indirections away from the actual video player, you can see
this easily because it doesn't have a data attribute.  I got the actual
player URL from letting the javascript updates undo the indirections and
then using the firefox Inspector to tell me what the embedded object it
was play is.  So on this URL:

https://www.itv.com/itvplayer/sherlock-holmes/series-2/episode-10-silver-blaze

You eventually get

<object style="visibility: visible;"
data="https://www.itv.com/mediaplayer/releases/13.6.1.3/ITVMediaPlayer.swf?v=13.
6.1.3"
name="itv0.8542575701153822" id="itv0.8542575701153822"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="396" width="704"><param
value="high" name="quality"><param value="#000000" name="bgcolor"><param

name="flashvars"></object>

As you can see, the player URL in the data tag above is in the one I've
changed Itv.pm to use.

This is on OpenBSD amd64 current, I have also tried the same on Debian Linux 
and download doesn't hit a problem there either.

The values can be found at https://www.itv.com/mediaplayer/js/itv.config.js

<param name="osmfVersion" value="13.6.1.3"/>

Part of a block of embeded XML.

Looking at some of the scripts, HTML5 should be supported, this means direct 
downloads without rtmpdump. Requires more looking into.

Couldn't extract Flash movie URL. This site may need specific support adding,
or fixing.

Please confirm the site is using Flash video and if you have Flash available
check that the URL really works(!).

Check for updates by running: /usr/bin/get_flash_videos --update

If the latest version does not support this please open a bug (or
contribute a patch!) at http://code.google.com/p/get-flash-videos/
make sure you include the output with --debug enabled.
Couldn't download any videos.
