Here is download algorithm for www.apple.com/trailers

Hi,

I don't know how to program this, but i think it will be pretty easy to do.

The only thing to do is change User Agent and add one letter to the URL:

1) obtain desired trailer's URL address
(e.g. http://movies.apple.com/movies/sony_pictures/legion/legion-graphicnovel_720p.mov)
2) put "h" between "_" and resolution
(http://movies.apple.com/movies/sony_pictures/legion/legion-graphicnovel_h720p.mov)
3) change User agent to "QuickTime/7.6.5 (qtver=7.6.5;os=Windows NT 5.1Service Pack 3)"
4) now download! :)

And this way you can download using "wget":

wget -U "QuickTime/7.6.5 (qtver=7.6.5;os=Windows NT 5.1Service Pack 3)" http://movies.apple.com/movies/sony_pictures/legion/legion-graphicnovel_h720p.mov

It would be awesome to use FRD for dowloading these videos instead of the QuickTime, which really sucks (at least for windows)

Regards,
Peter.

I made the plugin because it was interesting.

However, it currently only supports the HD variants of the videos, not "standard".

Awesome, thx :)

About the "HD only", non HD trailers are for not interesting movies I think.. And I download only the HD, standard ones can be played directly on the page...

Thank you very much again.

Wow, nice magic, can't believe how you found that "QuickTime/7.6.5 (qtver=7.6.5;os=Windows NT 5.1Service Pack 3)"

No more QuickTime download~~


Thanx alot!

Am I blind or this plugin was deleted from the FRD? This algorithm still works, but FRD doesn't capture the link.. In the beginning it worked fine, but now I even can't find this plugin in Settings -> Plugins :(

It should still be there, called movies.apple.com or something like that. I will take a look at it at some point.

Alright, I am blind :)

However, the FRD doesn't capture the links. Should I post a new Topic about this malfunction or is this satisfactory?


FRD version 0.83u1 build #522
movies.apple.com version 1.0.0
FRD doesn't capture copied links - URLs were renamed from "movies.apple.com" to "trailers.apple.com"

this works:

wget -U "QuickTime/7.6.5 (qtver=7.6.5;os=Windows NT 5.1Service Pack 3)" http://trailers.apple.com/movies/sony/micmacs/micmacs-tlr1_h1080p.mov

Note that some links already contain the "h" between "_" and resolution and work without alternation.

Thank you for your time.
