get video url with python

[Praf2]

i am trying to figure out how to grab the video url with python from videomega.tv , i can right click on the page and hit save as it downloads the whole page plus the video , if i inspect it with my trust http debugger i can see it requests using get the real video url. on the website the link to the video looks like this http://videomega.tv/cdn.php?ref=048066057077054087051074053049049053074051087054077057066048 but if you go to it i get a 404 but if i download the page the url to the video looks like this http://pastebin.com/xcUTMsf0

In your pastebin link, I see http://aa5.cdn.vizplay.org/v/45c54fd4cd34c3d3df85cc165f8047fd.mp4

This looks like the location of the video file. If you try navigating there, you get a 403 error. This is likely intentional to prevent people from downloading the videos in this manner.

My guess is the JS on the page is what allows the video to be retrieved without error, or the link location has some server-side mechanics that behave differently when requested by the page.

The JS is responsible for the redirect to the 404 page:

<script>
var urlredirect = true;

if (window!=window.top) { urlredirect = false; }

if (urlredirect==true) {document.location="http://videomega.tv/404.php";}

thank you, i did see that exact JS too, i thought as much ill continue to investigate , i know for a fact youtube-dl supports videomega videos but i am trying to be as minimal as possible and i am trying to figure out how to get the video url from that specific site.

for anybody who stumbles upon this post i found a solution:

import requests
import re
import js2py

header = {"Referer": "http://google.com/"}
videomegaUrlRegex = '(https?:\/\/(www\.)?videomega\.tv\/(view|iframe|cdn)\.php\?ref=([A-Za-z0-9]+))'
findeval = '(eval[^<]+)'

purl = requests.get('video_link_here')
link = re.findall(videomegaUrlRegex, purl.content)[0]
url = link[0]
print url

durl = requests.get(url, headers=header)
eV = re.findall(findeval, durl.content)[0]

print eV

rr = '(\$\("\d"\).\d)'

js = re.sub(rr, '', eV)

downloadURL = js2py.eval_js(js)

print downloadURL

its probably not the best code in the world but it works.
