ripping .TS-composite streams

Post by SexySurgical »

Problem presented here: viewtopic.php?f=45&t=21763
Stream is not 1 file, but 157(!) .TS files somehow composed together. The usual browser extensions for ripping screw up.


What you guys think about this?

Yup, that's how TS-files work. You can put all of those 157 pieces together again in an editing program.

Sorry to reply is an older post. But, I had recent success with this method to get some forms of .ts files from streaming sites. I think the ones I've failed at probably use encryption of sorts.

I use this firefox plugin to detect the streams:

I'm sure there are versions for Chrome and Vivaldi as well.

Then, I use a simple python script to download and assemble the file:

It's not full proof, but I've had some success with it to download .ts files or MPEG transport stream files.

Good tip.

I used to do it with FFmpeg. It's quite a complicated process, though.
