this script offers a very simple way to get the m3u8 stream url to feed into VLC, MPC-HC or virtually any other player capable of playing streams; it also offers pre-built oneliners for ffmpeg and yt-dlp to download said stream.
works on both DE and FR and covers live streams and standard programs as well as "arte concert"
as of v1.0, you can set the script to show the stream url on page load, without having to click anything.
in order to do this, change the variable loadonload
on top of the script from 0 to 1. as easy as that!
as of v1.5, you can download the seperate mp4 video and audio files and play them locally - they do play in sync.
however, it seems direct downloads are not always available.
as of v1.6, all new formats for arte concert should be covered
as of v1.7, handling of file types - video, audio, vtt subtitles - and their labels/names was highly improved
issues:
if the script does not work for you, please let me know! I'll try to figure out why
