Downloading Videos From Di$ney Website

[slick1109]

Problem SOLVED.

 

 

So I used to be able to download videos directly from the video.Di$ney.com website, but apparently they have beefed up their security and I can no longer figure out how to do it.

 

 

Here is what I used to be able to do (always worked perfectly):

 

For example:

 

1. Go to

http://video.disney.com/watch/disneychannel-ghoul-friend-4e140abc096282e5f8c1b213

This is a webpage to watch a streaming cartoon from the new Mickey Mouse Series.  This link sends you to the "Ghoul Friend" episode.

 

2. Copy that link into "jDownloader" and allow it to Crawl the webpage searching for download links.  It will end up giving you about a dozen different download links for the video, in various quality, plus a bunch of other junk.  I would always pick the highest quality version which was usually "1920x1080 7840x160 mp4".  The link looks like this:

http://cdn.secure.videos.dolimg.com/channel_longform/dmms/i29095/3e624b-tsh_pdmms_014_eprhq_v1080p23_hi29095_wec-h264h_aac_1920x1080_7840x160.mp4

3. Then I could directly download from that link.  Done!

 

 

 

 

The Problem is, when I try to download that link now, it no longer works.

 

-jDownloader sees the link as "OFFLINE"

 

-Internet Download Manager asks for a LOGIN and PASSWORD to access the file (which seems to be the new security)

 

-Firefox and Internet Explorer five me an "Authorization Required" page.

 

I have also Tried the Firefox "Download Helper" add-on, "RTMP Dump", and "WonderShare All My Tube".  None of which are working.

 

 

 

So is there anyway around this upgraded security?  There has to be since the video is able to stream.  I am trying to grab the entire series in 1080p.

 

 

Thanks

did you try Riptiger they work with a lot of streams..... but i wouldn't be surprised it failed..

Ok, I've figured out something, If you have Mozilla Firefox: Go to the link that you posted and on the Page, Right click and select "View Page Info":

and it should come up like this:

go ahead and copy the MP4 link, and then download it with whatever program you use to DL (I use Downloadthemall FF extension)

 

I'm not guaranteeing it will work all the time, but I just thought I'd share this with You

if rippers dont work you could always try screen recording software something like Replay Video Capture

The idea from Phaz0n did allow me to download the Streaming version of the one episode, but the streaming version was only "848x480" and was pretty POOR quality.  However, it did give me an idea....

 

 

I noticed the difference between the link that would download and all the links that wouldnt.

 

 

The direct download link that required a login/password was:

http://cdn.secure.videos.dolimg.com/

The link that would download started as follows:

https://secure.vp.disney.go.com/

The rest of the link was the same.  So I was easily able to create working links by making that small change (which essentially is downloading from a different server).  I was just lucky that the folder and filename was the same on the other server.

 

 

However, this only works when I am able to "crawl" the webpage with jDownloader to find the link names, and there are about 13 episodes which I cant find.  BUT, what I can find is the "access.mp4" files.  Unfortunately, even though they are MP4 files, the "access" files are in some strange format that I can not play.  I can use to "access mp4" links to ALMOST determine the real "mp4" links, but each link has a unique 6-character code (consisting of letters and numbers) that I cant figure out.

 

 

Example "access.mp4" link (This link WORKS, but the file does not appear to be playable):

https://secure.vp.disney.go.com/channel_longform/dmms/i29083/2c05cf-tsh_pdmms_002_eprhq_v1080p23_hi29083_wec-h264m_aac_1280x720_2904x96.access.mp4

Example ".mp4" link (Missing a 6-char code which is part of the file name [represented by "******"].  This file should play fine if only i could figure out the unique code.)

https://secure.vp.disney.go.com/channel_longform/dmms/i29083/******-tsh_pdmms_002_eprhq_v1080p23_hi29083_wec-h264m_aac_1280x720_2904x96.mp4

At the moment, I only see a few choices:

 

1. Give Up!  LOL

2. Figure out how to make the "access.mp4" files play.

3. Write a program to guess every possible 6-character (letter + number) combination.

4. Find another program to "crawl" the webpage in hopes of finding the file names (since jDownloader couldnt).

 

 

 

I am open to ideas.  Perhaps someone can download the "access.mp4" file above and help me figure out why it wont play.

I'll check this out later

I did this not too long ago but I am really sorry, I forget what it is I used in order to rip from Disney's site.

 

I know it can be done though, so keep looking around. I only needed a program or browser add on to do it with, I remember that much.

 

I think it might have been a Mozilla Firefox add on that I used, try taking a look through some of those.

ripanon knows how to rip from disney's websites like watchdisneyxd.go.com/  I suggest you ask him about it slick1109

I have tried a few but nothing has worked so far.  If you happen to remember what it was called, feel free to send me a PM.  Thanks.

Thanks for the tip.  It was a big help.

Use Firefox and the free video download add-on. With this, you can download up to 85% of the 'Net's videos without having to download anything (or get the add-on pop-up junk from the downloaders).

[slick1109]

I have already tried several of them.  Which one in particular are you talking about?

[professa X]

Interesting I am interested in this. Please post the solution when u find it.

[Tooncore]

This may help although I have only used it for 7 sites, not sure if Di$ney.com website is included but you can it request it.

I have tried the following and it worked on videos that are not locked (videos that Need Subscription)

If anyone has a subscription, PM me

Here is how to download from watchdisneychannel.com:


Eg:  watchdisneychannel.go.com/tsum-tsum-shorts/video/vdka0_vy6u9eim/night-of-the-crawling-tsums

geo-restrictions may apply outside US, in such cases, use HOLA/VPN


Open the link in browser

Use IDM , it shows many TS files, download the required resolution (1080p) ,

you should get .m3u8 file

Save it  (Alternate method : Inspect element)


Optional : open with text editor

It has many links/parts...TS Videos 

http://content.uplynk.com/ext/21885d134fa441488df8e1d7acee8c66/4752595


Next you will need ffmpeg.

ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/


Copy the link into this command: ffmpeg -i "video.m3u8" -c copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc "filename.mp4"

Open your cmd and download the video with ffmpeg and this command.

Thanks ianon.  I ran across that method a while back and it does work.  Although another user here on this site actually created a tool to do it automatically for you.  I cant remember their name off hand, but a quick search would probably find it.

[Charlie Brown]

I couldn't find any ..can you help me with the search term ?

i tried this awhile back when I PM'ed DawnShadow about it. this is pretty much what he said to do, but it didn't work for me. IDM kept giving me a warning about protected streams or something and it couldn't grab it and although i did try another workaround and finally got a m3u8 file i tried the whole ffmpeg thing and it too said it couldn't get it or gave me error messages as well. it was weird seeing as how it worked on DawnShadow's end.

I managed to download the Disney video just fine with GetFLV: http://www.mediafire.com/watch/azafofyyfrc9z3n/Ghoul+Friend++Mickey+Mouse+and+Friends++Disney+Video_19_15_24.mp4

 

EDIT: Okay, I understand now. There's a video resolution issue. But if there's no option to stream the video in 1080p, then logically there would be no way to download it that way either.

 

I wouldn't sweat this though. This series will probably be on iTunes or YouTube before you know it.
