Description

The video is segmented and loaded via JavaScript using jwplayer. Look for the script tag with id video_playlist. It contains a line like this: playlist: "https://prd-senato.spectar.tv/canale/assemblea/legislatura/18/seduta/329/formato/flvplayer/quality/hq". There is an XML file containing a playlist with multiple videos, in different formats.

@frafra The playlist seems to be a JWPlayer XML playlist. I'm having issues finding documentation at the moment and youtube-dl sadly lacks a parser as part of its standard library. JWPlayer is currently under a non-commercial Creative Commons license, which clashes with the Unlicense, meaning I can't use their code, and I'm struggling to find when JWPlayer was still under an open-source license. I'll see what I can do tomorrow.

@frafra I've ultimately decided that I'm going to poorly parse the XML myself in order for us to get what we really want: those juicy HLS playlists. Before I go any further, can I have some more example URLs so that I can make sure I parse the URLs correctly?

Sure! Here are some other links:

IIRC ytdl already uses XML (or at least HTML) parsing through stock modules, so you won't need to poorly parse it, and it's hugely discouraged to even try to.

I know, I was more talking about how I'm going to take a lot of shortcuts in parsing the data structure itself and make a lot of assumptions compared to an official JWPlayer parser.

Is issue still open?
