hi, i am trying to scrape episodes of colbert report for this addon. for example,i am trying to scrape this page ( http://www.colbertnation.com/full-episod...t--vincent ) where i see this id next to the embedded flash (mgid:cms:episode:colbertnation.com:420706).

when i go to this link ( http://www.colbertnation.com/media/top.js ) which is referenced at the top of the html, i see the Crabapple.FluxWidget.requestContentFeed function where i try to construct this url ( http://daapi.flux.com/2.0/00001/JSON/C7E...com:420706 ) but it only seems to be links to thumbnails of the episode.

anybody have any ideas how to scrape the actual flash video of the episode ?

thanx,

You could first use rtmpsuck or rtmpsrv (just google for howtos) to get the RTMP-vars - then you know what you need to look for in the page.

schneidz: I wrote a colbert report plugin a while back but it is currently broken. I incorporated the functions into Free Cable as part of the Comedy Central station.

You could check out the code I am currently using for Comedy Central/ The Colbert Report here.

The old plugin code is still up on the repo too. It is probably minor updates to get it working.

thanks bluecop. i'll check out the source code to get ideas..

thanks again bluecop... i absorbed as much of the defunct 'colbert report' addon as i can.

i am now going to try to emulate as much of it as i can to see if i can add the ability to scrape 'key & peele' episodes from comedy central.

regards,

hi bluecop... you still watching this thread ?

how come every network in free.cable has a masterlist() function except for comedy.py ?
