#4 Idea: Extend stov to support ZDF Mediathek

Closed
opened 7 years ago by Hoshpak · 1 comments

ZDf has changed their Mediathek so most software working with it isn't working any more. They now have a (poorly implemented) API for getting data and stream URLs out of it. Since it would be nice to fetch shows from there automatically it might be a good idea to extend stov to support exactly that. Since it would be the first service supported that isn't youtube, it would probably need a command line switch to switch between sites when using stov. It also would need some database changes which would make it a better fit for a release after 1.0. The refactoring for 1.0 could be done with that in mind though.

Data for videos can be retrieved from https://zdf-cdn.live.cellular.de/mediathekV2/ , youtube-dl has reasonably good support for downloading Mediathek videos. The kodi Mediathek add-on can be used as a reference:
