If the HLS sources are closed, does this mean that the myTV iOS/Android app now use the Octoshape client to view the livestreams? Since the HLS streams were for the mobile clients as far as I know.
Adding that gets me the playlist and the following chunk playlist as well but the .ts files seem to transfer extremely slow if at all.
@Kyusuke
How did you manage to get the playlist to load?
I only get a blank response using the links above in Firefox
There was a comment previously (but now gone) that suggested appending ?app=mytv onto the .smil links. The blank responses you were having are 403 Forbidden errors while adding that parameter gets you the playlist.
@Kyusuke
Cheers! Thanks for that!
@Kyusuke, may i khow how you get the link to work?below link i am not able to play it. Kindly advise.
http://token.tvb.com/stream/live/hls/mobilehd_jade.smil?app=mytv
Applying the following link in that manner
http://token.tvb.com/stream/live/hls/mobilehd_hdj.smil?app=mytv
and using SmartDNS for Hong Kong status resolves to
http://202.126.56.112/session/9551f908-155b-11e6-8265-005056b15a5f/2ukcnb/mytvlive/smil:mobilehd_hdj.smil/playlist.m3u8?token=c295608fc1c36a0b01c070e3e7825986_1462825776_1462746576
Either way, it takes a long while for the video picture to show up and while good quality, it is static and has no audio. The video continue to load and when the "play" is selected, the video plays for an instant, then stops but the audio carries on merrily.
Unsure whether the delay is due to server issues or otherwise. I am not in Hong Kong and I ran this on the iCab browser on the iPad.
I experimented with this a few months back with their on-demand content and found out that if I loaded up a video normally (from a non-HK address), it'll load but the transfer rate would be miniscule. If I used a VPN (e.g. ZenMate) and loaded the same link, the video would load fine so I was led to believe there was some sort of configuration done to severely limit the bandwidth transferred to non-HK IPs to an unusable rate.
I thought this would be apply likewise to this case but unless the IPs used by the VPN are affected, I'm thinking the video files would download at a snail's pace for everybody. Hence I'm wanting to know if anyone with a proper HK IP can view them without issue.
Further experiment - running same setup, but using Hong Kong proxy with openVPN (VPN Gate - University of Tsukuba, Japan). Link resolves first to a wowsa server (as against an Akamai server previously without VPN), then immediately to an IP number. Video and audio now loads fine - initial pixelation but the video cleared up right after. Likely geo-locked or throttled.
Interesting, could you attempt to directly connect to the wowsa server without going through a VPN? I'm assuming that you'd get a 403 though
I don't think it's possible because the first redirect to the wowsa server
pulls a signature and a start time, before it further resolved to the ip number below, with a token.
hi @token-stranger, can you tell me how to get this link?
http://wowza-rr-live-1.edgeware.tvb.com/mytvlive/smil:mobilehd_jade.smil/playlist.m3u8?sig=682072e3f61755d36e4f58745749d03f&ext_start_limit=1462866741&int_start_limit=1462866741&ts=1462945941
Thank you very much!
actually is it mean that all these links will expire? and there is no permanent link?
Let's clarify.
- I am not in Hong Kong.
- The links appears to be geo-locked, so a Hong Kong proxy/ VPN (preferable) or a SmartDNS is needed for those outside of Hong Kong.
- I used the links listed above but added "?app=mytv" (without the quotation marks) to each link. Example,
http://token.tvb.com/stream/live/hls/mobilehd_jade.smil?app=mytv - This link will automatically re-direct to the wowsa server (happens almost immediately and may not be noticeable), and re-directs to an IP number, usually 202.126.xxx.xxx.
- I ran the links through an iPad, iPhone and an Android phone.
- It works better on iOS devices because .m3u8 formats are more native on Apple devices than Android's, especially when played through the Safari browser.
- Surprising, Jade and iNews streams are quick and extremely reliable. J2 and J5 are hits and misses, working periodically. Uncertain why.
- All re-directed links are not permanent, requiring new tokens each time.
I hope that answers most queries.
@ token-strange. Thanks for your clarification. But i have one question. I have tried to use http://token.tvb.com/stream/live/hls/mobilehd_jade.smil?app=mytv and try to get the ip as you mention but i am unable to do so. I only able to get below link. Can you advise me how you get it?
http://vdo-live-cache-akamai.cdn.tvb.com/mytvlive/smil:mobilehd_hdj.smil/chunklist_b1536000.m3u8
Hi, the link is blocked....
I can only speak from experience. When I am not in Hong Kong, and I connect to
http://token.tvb.com/stream/live/hls/mobilehd_jade.smil?app=mytv
without a proxy/VPN or a smart DNS service, that link above will resolve to a similar link like what you have highlighted.
I cannot tell beyond what I don't know about. It's probably geo-location locked.
Actually i use hongkong vpn to access the token link.....but it does not goes to the ip link that you mention. which is why i am wondering how you get the ip address link
http://token.tvb.com/stream/live/hls/mobilehd_jade.smil?app=mytv
HTTP ERROR 403 now :(
Are the links deleted? There's no vital sign!

TVB fix GOTV and MYTVSUPER.
GOTV and MYTVSUPER fix
So I had some time to investigate this again. Funnily enough, if you can trick the myTV app into thinking it's inside HK (by returning a modified JSON response for example), you can still use the app like normal for live tv.
Accessing the URL stream itself isn't as simple as just loading it up now though, the way the app works is that it'll load up the URL like so:
http://token.tvb.com/stream/live/hls/mobilehd_jade.smil?time=*current epoch time in milliseconds*&app=mytv4
The time parameter is required, the app parameter however can be omitted but what the app will also send is a certain request header like so:
Key: t
Value: eeeeb6ee6a25e9ef0fa17e27fe39f7ee0a917d0d761688c83d840b52cfc7fc8e
Supply a valid t request header and the stream link is usable outside the app. Unfortunately I'm not sure how the value's generated so once I get more time, I can research further into that matter.
EDIT: Further examination with the app seems to suggest that the time in milliseconds is encrypted to provide the value for 't'. The encryption method is hidden behind a shared object library so I can't find out how it's getting encrypted without performing disassembly on the file. Judging from the values I've seen over repeated requests, it may seem like two MD5 hashes contatenated with each other.
有大神还能下载mytvsuper和gotv吗
