Need technical help for Database of JW vídeos

[jayrtom]

Hello

I'm constructing a searchable database with tags for all the JW videos (for now just the morning worships)

This idea came because someone sent me a list of all the videos with title, speaker and a code (which I don't know how he got this code). And I thought this list could be better if it had links for the videos directly (in several resolutions) and audio only (this to be created with the video)

 

At this moment I need to have a way to create the links automatically so that I don't have to put each link in each line by hand (I hate repetitive tasks)

The code is something like this "jwb.201910-8.v" >>> With this I can extract information so that the link to the page can be automatically generated. In this case it would be this, with only the green parts varying:

But I think having the video playable directly and in the desired resolution would be better, but here is where I need the help, because I don't know the meaning of the red part bellow and how to get there from the codes I have...

Does any one know this?

So for morning worship your end result would be something like this but with download links?

As far as your question, I always assumed the two digital hexadecimal code was random. You may find these links helpful if you decide to go through with it.

I mistakenly mixed english with Portuguese on my links, but yes, the link for the particular page of the video follows a pattern that I can automate having the variables date and the sequencial number on the date

 

But for the direct link for the video (for it to be downloaded or played immediately) there is an additional variable that appear to not follow any pattern that I'm aware off - You say it is random... if it is really random, than it's something I can't do unless downloading everything by end and annotating this random variable

Message me, we can schedule a call or a meeting of sort, and we can discuss this further.
I did start a project like this some time ago, but i abandoned it due to increase in personal responsibilities...
