NFL download

[Tzelon]

Hey, First, thank you for your great work. I appreciate it. I have two questions.

1. Do you know if the script can work on NFL.TV stream also?
2. Can you explain in more details the flow of the script? I understand that you go a fetch the m3u8 file -> open the file and reading each line -> checking to see if the line is a new key and IV -> ?

Thanks again

1. no idea, I don't have an NFL account
2. main flow can be seen in main.py see also tests/data for some of the files the unit tests might explain some details. Flow:

• try to find new game checkForNewGame parsing schedule.gamecontent.media.epg Below is all in download_nhl:
• fetch tests/data/master.m3u8 for best quality stream like 3500K/3500_complete-trimmed.m3u8
• that master points to a list of urls representing the encrypted mpeg and keys.
• build up a list of urls (see tests/data/input.m3u8)
• get aria2c to download the list
• decrypt
• use ffmpeg to put them together into one file
• use ffmpeg to detect silences indicating a break
• use ffmpeg to split into sections without silence
• put all back together.

How the authentication works is still a mystery to me.
