download apple trailer
Wed, 16 Mar 2011 14:51 categories: codeIt is easy to find out why one can not just download the movie trailers at
apple.com and how to fix it but I automated it even further using this small
script which gives me the direct commands for downloading the 1080p content,
which is the reason I use apple trailer in the first place instead of youtube.
I also recently discovered that some trailer pages already have the h
prepended to the download urls so this is also taken care of by the following
small script:
import urllib2, re, sys
if len(sys.argv) != 2:
print "supply apple trailer url"
exit()
f = urllib2.urlopen(sys.argv[1]+'/includes/playlists/web.inc')
urls = re.findall('http://trailers.apple.com/movies/[^"\']+1080p.mov', f.read())
for url in urls:
print "wget -U quicktime "+re.sub("(?<!h)1080p.mov$", "h1080p.mov", url)
