StreamFab for Windows Download from WatchTCM (i.e. Turner Classic Movies)?

[JLB2]

As part of our cable tv line-up, my wife and I have TCM. (i.e. Turner Classic Movies). We regularly stream movies via their WatchTCM service via the internet when we've missed a movie on the TCM cable channel.

Is there a module in StreamFAB -- or any other way -- that I can download movies that we stream?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Of course I can't test without account (I've no cable tv sub in any country) ..
.. but what happen if you load a movie info site or play the movie ?

Is the button at right botton orange (then click) or a message like:
"This website currently is not supported or no video was found on this page."


I only found a year old info:

TCM was not fixed to my knowledge and you still have to dig in and get the MPD link manually to get SF to download it.
Can't blame SF for that...TCM is on a old version of Adobe Access

That's the message we get.

I saw that too.

A few years ago, I had a pyhtonscript that would allow downloading from WATCHTCM, but last year--when Warner Bros took over TCM and changed alot of TCM things--the pythonscript no longer worked.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the info!

I should have been a bit more specific in my original post.WatchTCM (and the TCM cable channel, too) has The Strangler in HD (probably an upscale version). That's why I want to download it from TCM.

It is part of the TCM library of movies that are in HD, but not generally available in HD outside of TCM.

tubi's version is a low quality 480p version - - probably from the dvd.

Excellent! Many thanks!

Can you explain to me how this was achieved, so that I may do it myself for other movies?

SF can't download content on TCM.com, but there is a program which can: TubeDigger. You have to log in with your cable service user name and password with each usage (not each film). Maximum resolution available is 720. Download 'speed' is about 10 minutes. TCM downloads are TS files but the program will convert them (lossless) to mp4 in under 30 seconds. TCM print quality varies of course, but most are what you would expect at 720. Subtitles are included but some streaming devices may have issues. Audials is another choice, but requires a robust computer and downloads are much slower with no subtitle capture.
