With this script you can get the direct links of videos on the Video Mediaset website. The script also tweaks the new HTML5 player by implementing true full screen capabilities (this is not available for the Flash player). The videos could be available in the following formats (varies depending on the single episode): 

  • Smooth streaming (manifest file) - high quality
  • Apple streaming (a kind of M3U8 stream , you can play it with ffplay)
  • Flash video (FLV direct link)
  • Flash video 2 (F4V direct link)
  • Windows Media video (WMV direct link) - low quality
  • HTML5 video (MP4 direct link) - medium quality on old videos (< 2014), high quality on new videos

The Smooth Streaming version is in quite good quality (usually between 768x432 and 1024x576) but it's harder to download. You can read on my blog how to download Smooth Streaming videos using Linux (in Italian). New MP4 videos, starting from around 2014, are also in the same quality.

This script also works on the popular website Witty TV, because they embed videos from Video Mediaset.

Thanks

I would like to truly express my gratitude to potacchione, the author of RaiMediasetLa7Video (no longer working on the Mediaset site) for creating his script and providing the base URL from which the informations are gathered.
