Save iTMS Music videos in iTunes 4.7.1
Okay, I wasn't thinking when I posted to email me about the solution, haha, for some reason it didn' click that i'm going to have half the mac user base emailing me, although I only recieved three this morning, which isn't bad. It could get worse. It's inevtiable that apple is going to break it, and I wanted to automate it first, i'm currently learning perl, and it probably would be that hard to bake up a perl script to do it. Okay so here's the solution, it's crude but really easy.

It is not mandatory to check what host was used to download the file. The same content is available on every server. I think that different hosts are used only to distribute the load and prevent delays.

One last note, before I call it quits for the night. If I get more time to play with tcpflow (or maybe someone already knows how to do this), the only packet we need to look at has this format:
192.168.000.101.51849-064.086.089.009.00080: GET /Features/y2005/m06/d21/h14/dj.ogikntir.mov HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: QTS (qtver=7.0.1;cpu=PPC;os=Mac 10.4.1) Accept: */* Connection: close Host: a1710.phobos.apple.comtcpflow supports "expressions" such that we should be able to filter accesses to "*.phobos.apple.com" or to "064.086.089.*". Combine that with a limited byte-count option, and we might not even have to Ctrl-C tcpflow to stop it. This would make it EASY to call from inside a script (I'm no good dealing with pipes, either). I'll follow-up when I have more time, or maybe someone else will pick this up before I do...

Thanks for figuring out a way to still do this. I'm not sure how automated I can make this, but I will work on it (later). I did see this in my dump after clicking on the video icon/artwork (before selecting Small or Large):
x-apple-twofish-key: 383D8A44A1E11745915B7FF49E9FA98D Content-Encoding: gzip, x-aes-cbc x-apple-crypto-iv: 5bebcd82a3a0bba784a06b39d721c95bAaarrgghh! Apple did encrypt the webpage. So, anyone know how to crack Twofish? :-)

As long as we can still the find the GET request, we shoudl always be able to get the videos. The only thing I can really think of to block my method is to encrypt the entire file, or set up a secure authorization between the itunes client and the servers. Personally I think it's a little too easy? The encrypted the headers, but left open the ability to simply to fake the final request. They could of simply added Fair Play to the videos and let people keep them on the computer... then again Fair Play's days, at least version 2 is over, as that thing has been cracked wider then humpty. Be ready to start over in iTunes version 5

Yeah, I thought it was very strange to encrypt the lead-in pages and not the MOV itself. Of course, that might be next, even before iTunes 5 (which had better add folders/hierarchy to the playlist management!).
Still, I'm bummed that my method of saving the video with the Artist/Title info in the filename won't work anymore. :-( I've started a forum thread so that we might dive into this some more (without cluttering this Hint more than it is), and so that people can subscribe to the thread (instead of having to keeping checking this hint manually).

Looks like something is going to happen before iTunes 5 is released. For a lot of the daytime today iTunes store has not been available in the UK which i put down to the 500 millioneth song promotion. But tonight at home my 3 UK OS X macs can get into the american iTunes store but when requesting videos we are pushed back to the lacklustre UK video list of 103 duller than dull videos despite store home still being listed as as America.

Obviously, I'm a newbie. I don't understand the front bit about making a script and run it in Terminal. Help. Thanks in advance.

I made the change Jedik suggested, still no luck. Same error as before:

Is there a way to do this in iTunes 5 ? I tried running the script using iTunes 5 but it doesn't work. Does anyone have a modified version of this script that would run on iTunes 5?

The method using tcpflow works with iTunes 5.0 and QuickTime 7.

They've changed how ITMS handles music videos. Now, it's like previewing songs so you only get a snippet. |
