Here’s a TG4 link for example: https://www.tg4.ie/ga/player/catagoir/siamsaiocht/seinn/?pid=6339798682112

I found this guide – https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/404994-Decryption-and-the-Temple-of-Doom – that has an ‘Edit January 2023’ example for how to rip from TG4 Seinntóir/Player.

But I get different results. When I do this step…

2. MPD - describes the media and how to get it. Developer Tools (F12 in your browser) select Network tab and enter ‘mpd’ in the filter box. Then start the video. Copy the url. It will look similar to this, BUT DO NOT USE THIS ONE, get a fresh copy. as it carries a token, which needs to be fresh each use.

…it seems to be the mpd not of the television program, but of the 5-second video of the TG4 logo.

I’m not sure is there still a such a singular [video file URL]. In the “Developer Tools (F12 in your browser) select Network tab” I see lots and lots of ‘segments’ with .m4f extension coming from Brightcove. My mental model is that when the tutorial was written there was one file, now TG4 have gotten more cautious and split it up into tiny one-second segments. Is this hypothesis right? Is there a way to do Step 2 in https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/404994-Decryption-and-the-Temple-of-Doom ?

    I simply don’t see it. When I filter mpd, I get content.mpd, which is the video logo I mentioned, plus a lot of mpds that are for Brightcove’s analytics.

    Could there be a browser setting that’s causing this?

    I’ve tried refreshing the page and hitting play. I’ve tried changing resolution, which causes it to pause for a second where you can feel it load a new video, but I don’t see an mpd in the DevTools ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Aha!

      Solution: clear browsing history/cache, then load the page anew, DevTools being open.
