This python script will receive a URL that contains a video player, then it will search in the HTML files for a pattern (https://player-vz), then it will transform that string into the right m3u8 URL address. After that, it will call another program, wich is able to download all .ts files and output it as mp4.
The program that this script uses is N_m3u8DL-RE. If not changed, it will always download the best quality found.
If you want to understand more of how m3u8 works, you can watch this youtube video.
It will need to have a address and a headers file. That headers file can be obtained by:
- Going to the website and logging in, then;
- Using chrome devtools, select on of the network requests;
- right click then select Copy > Copy as cURL (bash);
- After that, you can paste that into a file named
headers-file; - Adjust it to match the
headers-file.example.
