Description

eVOD is a online version of a South African TV Channel. It requires an account to be created, but is free of charge.

It's a JS application so there's no easy win. The site script and/or network traffic would have to be analysed to determine if an extractor is possible.

The link in OP doesn't work for me, but this one below does:

BTW, I didn't have to log-in for playback to commence... 😜

Basically, they're using the Brightcove framework to deliver their streams; at this time, it appears "in the clear" (i.e. without DRM): https://beacon.playback.api.brightcove.com/etv/api/assets/36728 ("device_type, device_layout are required" if tried on its own) Their Brightcove account id is: "bc_account_id": "6195169123001" POST: https://beacon.playback.api.brightcove.com/etv/api/assets/36728/streams/11567 GET: https://beacon.playback.api.brightcove.com/etv/api/assets/36728/streams/11567/related ("device_type, device_layout, layout_id are required" if tried on its own)) GET: https://edge.api.brightcove.com/playback/v1/accounts/6195169123001/videos/6290129032001 (requires request header below:

Standalone MP4 containers, as well as stream fragments, are served from an Akamai bc-evod.akamaized.net hostname/CDN... I wouldn't rule out some content being geo-fenced for non-ZA IPs...

Should be doable 😄 ...
