Get Video File From Twitter

twitterVideo.sh

# Takes a string argument to the twitter video m3u8 url and gets each of the .ts segments, then creates an mpeg. Very crude, based on
# http://zeroonelabs.com/how-i-downloaded-a-video-from-twitter-using-curl/

## To get the m3u8 url just check the network tab on the page with the video in your console.

FILE1=$1

declare -a fileArray

fileArray=$(curl --silent $FILE1 | grep -vE "^#" | sed -e 's_^_https://video.twimg.com_g')

mkdir ~/TS_files
# Change to that directory 
cd ~/TS_files
rm final.ts
# Establish a variable
theCount=1
# Run a loop through each line of the array
for theTSURL in $fileArray[@];do 
    curl -g -o $theCount.ts $theTSURL
    # increment the variable by 1
    theCount=$((theCount + 1))
done

for i in {1..$theCount};do 
    cat * >> final.ts
done

mv final.ts test.mpeg

// TODO - clear all existing .ts files use file name as dir name.
