I need a hint for using wget for getting a free content from a TV station that is streaming its material for a while until it appears on any video platform, that means no use of illegal methods, because it is on air, recently published and available. But reading the manual for wget I tried the following without success.
wget -4 -c -b -O -no-cookies -https-only -follow-ftp /home/user/Downloads/thenameofthemovie.mp4 --header "Referrer: www.xyz.com" "https://www.xyz.com/film/category/nameofthemovie.html"
The manpage tells about the header to set it like this for instance ' to use this for quoting
wget -- header='Accept-Charset: iso-8859-2'\
Furthermore I read about the HTTPS Options to set it like the following
-secure-protocol=auto
All I get is that the download will be stored in the wget-log. So may someone can give me a hint, how to do better? My interface stays very quiet.
Or should I use the option of
-max-redirect=n
Thanks in advance. And to anticipate some hints about axel or curl, I want to try it with wget. All that comes down the line is the html file, nothing else, so I am doing wrong. The wget-log tells me in detail how the download for this html took place. But I did not get one chunk of the film.
