pls sniff my URL!

[pelham456]

i've done well downloading videos with YTD, jDownloader, and similar "interceptors". but for audio, i've never had to go further than the source code.

UNTIL NOW. i'm trying to DL the pods from this page:

http://channelge.com/%E7%B2%BE%E...83%85%E3%80%8B

yet there's no sort of mp3 links in the source code.

i've tried to follow the player's subroutine calls, but i just can't do it. can someone up to speed on HTML give me an actual URL (http:// ... .mp3) for one of the pods there?

since the list is well-organized by date, i suspect the ultimate form may be something like: http:// ... 20171115.mp3

just a hunch. but if i have ONE, i assume i can date-tweak it for any OTHER pod in the list as well. so pls get to that FIRST one!

TIA!!

PS: u may need to click on the "list" looking icon (under vid counter) to see them. still not clear on them being hidden behind an ad....

With Firefox 45 got this URL (add http: )
162.144.205.20/~gestud7/GE_Radio/2017/Chinese_Radio/dushixianqing/City_20171115.mp3

How I did it:
Open your URL, then click Play in the embedded player, then left-click near the player (this may not be important) and select "view page info". This opens a new window in which you should select the "Media" tab and look for the item that is not a image.
Should work also in Firefox Quantum, but I am waiting for some extensions to be updated.
Hope this helps.

oh yes, beautiful!

funny, i think i used to know to look there. but hadn't even NOTICED "page info" in all that time i was clicking on "page source" yesterday.

only annoying thing is that popup doesn't refresh when you load the next (a diff) pod. have to close it and select "view info" anew. that'd be a ROYAL pain in trying to load the 200+ that's there!!

mercifully, there doesn't seem to be any indiv variation (hash-number looking stuff) in the URLs -- much less any of those (chinese) SHOW TITLES -- so it does appear that i can simply tweak the dates one-by-one. offline even.

prolly prep the list at home, load it to orbit, than let 'er rip next time i'm on wifi. seem to be about 45M apiece.

again, many thanks!

UPDATE: managed to hand-tweak all 255 or so URLs by hand in a txt file. then highlit it while orbit was open, whereupon -- surprise, surprise! -- it autoloaded the whole damn block! in order!! that's like 254 cut/pastes i didn't have to do!

had to restart a few times b/c would hang on 0229/30/31 0431 0631 and 0931. D'OH! hadn't thought to hand-excise those before beginning.

other than that, zipped right along. took about 90 mins to DL, start to finish. plus the 20 or so i spent making that list.

once again, thank u! spent way more time trying to figure out the URLs than i did actly DLing eveything.....

what about facebook videos? YTD used to DL them piece of cake, but nowadays, i can't get ANY of them. at times i get a popup "login to FB" (even tho i'm already logged in via FF elsewhere), but even after doing that, they still fail.

mind you, these aren't private videos or anything...not even from friends' accounts! but still, i do think it's somehow perceiving me as needing to (re)login before it can access the files.

tried your info trick, but the "videos" listed there for these tend to be exact same top-level FB urls! so that's no good.

for ex, can you talk me thru getting better URLs for any of these?

2) http://facebook.com/cali.englis...81973912043378

etc.

thanks again!

Internet Download Manager grabs those for me on IE with browser integration - would prob work for other installed browsers that you had

IDM has a 30-day free trial fwiw. I find that it can sometimes grab stuff that other downloaders cant

[pelham456]

i think i had that years back. i'll give it another try.

i dusted off my copy of jDownloader later on and got all the vids in question. but still -- i'd kinda like to know how to isolate the mp4s/FLVs or w/e which underlies these videos. plus, YTD way more efficient when you're doing "batch" DLs; i can load a youtube playlist or a FB "videos" page and it will strip everything on there automatically.

well, it USED to, at least. still works on youtube, but FB/vimeo/dailymotion have become well-nigh impossible of late.

[pelham456]

i did reinstall/update JDownloader, and it got those -- and other -- videos. tx!

interface is muy confusing tho. i can't get anything loaded until suddenly i've got like 5 copies of each!! gonna take a lottttttttt of practice.

in the meantime, how does one find the URLs for embeds on THIS page:

http://salemstate.edu/campus-li...iew-newsletter

download link works for for DLing a PDF, but i'll be darned if i can figure out the direct (PDF) link! tried page source, page info, lotta rt-clicking...BUPKIS!

and even the indiv pages -- they exist somewhere as JPGs, right? i know this only b/c i got all 12 pages, loose, for this newsletter a few years back.

no clue how i did it. maybe rt-click "copy image location" worked on some earlier version of issuu, but not now?

help!

back to the chinese site (december), they have unfortunately changed their link format since 21 mar. now instead of a simple date which i could predict and line up en masse, they have added the show titles into the URLs. (they were always in the DISPLAYED urls -- go back and look -- but the underlying links were way simpler. not any more)

so now they're no way to line them up short of checking each link one-by-one and doing that "media" workaround. UGH. okay for a few, but not if i get another backlog of 100 to do.

so the time is ripe to ask again: what sort of URL SNIFFER app is out there these days? i used to use downloadthemall and the like for JPGs, but things changed, and i found them unworkable. any recos for something recent which can automate DLs from the original page?
