la1ere: french overseas (9 regions) public and free #32713
Description
CONTEXT
French overseas public channels are available without authentication from the portal : https://la1ere.francetvinfo.fr/
Apparently, all formats/manifests are the same as those from france.tv (extractor francetv.py):
indeed, a few videos are even shared by both sites.
For its developers, it should be straightforward to derive a new extractor la1ere.py from francetv.py (only two URL templates/pages embed videos) - i really hope my feeling is right, and would gladly help if i had some knowledge in video streams and python.
The video offer is free, very large and covers documentaries, news, fictions of many cultures. It would be a nice gift for those interested in those, as internet speed may be slow overseas, preventing streaming :)
9 regions are covered (below, refers to one of)
- guadeloupe
- guyane
- martinique
- mayotte
- nouvellecaledonie
- polynesie
- reunion
- saintpierremiquelon
- wallisfutuna
Here is the mosaic of videos available for the chosen region:
https://la1ere.francetvinfo.fr/REGION/programme-video/
(as said before, a few of them are also available at: https://www.france.tv/la1ere/REGION/toutes-les-videos/)
TEMPLATES OF EMBEDDING URLs
In the end, final pages embedding videos may have 2 paths only:
- https://la1ere.francetvinfo.fr/REGION/programme-video/diffusion/PAGE
- https://la1ere.francetvinfo.fr/REGION/programme-video/SHOW/diffusion/PAGE
The latter is used for series, news ...
The extractor may be flexible and even not consider/whitelist the region list, letting it be free (prophylaxis/evolutions), as the substring "/diffusion/" already filters templates.
