live.fc2.com support

I’m reporting a site feature request
I’ve verified that I’m running youtube-dl version 2019.05.11
I’ve searched the bugtracker for similar site feature requests including closed ones

Description

Is it possible for youtube-dl to support https://live.fc2.com/adult/ live streams ?

youtube-dl supports live streams from other sites like https://www.trtworld.com/live. https://www.trtworld.com/live saved file is corrupt. I pipe output to a player and can watch the stream:

youtube-dl.exe -f hls-827-0 https://www.trtworld.com/live -o - | ffplay.exe -

Thanks,

My aim is to get playlist without opening web browser like I do it for world news web sites, and who knows who where else. I can write scripts and batch files. Here is a program that works just fine for https://live.fc2.com/adult/:

https://mastodon.cloud/@ctbrec

and my advice is to run this program in linux, not in windows. The reason for that is that in windows cpu gets very hot, and in linux remains ice cold. It is beyond me how this program is written. It works perfectly fine for bunch of webcam sites, all without web browser.

https://live.fc2.com/adult/ should ideally work with youtube-dl as https://www.trtworld.com/live does. Sites are very different, but I must talk about main url only for youtube-dl support.

@johnthecracker I made a batch file for some “minor” automation… (I’m bad lol)

First though you’ll have to go to the stream page, (i.e https://live.fc2.com/67780606/ ), open the Developer tools (clicking Ctrl+Shift+I?), click the Network tab, click the “playlist?session_token=xxx”, and copy the link under General and Request URL.

The correct link will look something like this:

https://hls.live.fc2.com/hls/69985628/32/playlist?session_token=2a42f3f6c14de84e286b5491a800c3f0039c030381040799e4ef18115bb55cc4&playlist_token=fa4ef35b413969302ddeeb0d886015ec595b05aafef06f8ca5b09516157aacbf

Open the .bat file, paste the playlist url, Enter, enter the name you want, Enter, and it’ll download it for you…

You’ll have to edit the batch a bit to fit your download location etc. Mine are saved in "e:\pyri\fc2"

@echo off
set /p "address=Video Address:"
set /p "filename=File name:"

FOR /F "tokens=1,2 delims=:." %%A IN ("%Time%") DO (
	SET Hours=%%A
	SET Minutes=%%B
)
SET /A Hours = 100%Hours% %% 100
ECHO.%Minutes% | FIND /I "P" >NUL && SET /A Hours += 12
SET Minutes=%Minutes:~0,2%
SET /A Minutes = 100%Minutes% %% 100

md e:\pyri\fc2\%filename%

ffmpeg -i "%address%" -c copy "e:\pyri\fc2\%filename%\%filename%_%Date%_%Hours%-%Minutes%.mp4"

Copy this code, make a new txt file, paste it in there and “save as all files” as whatever.bat

Good luck following my crappy instructions lol
