Plays.tv is a platform for sharing video game recordings and screenshots. The website will be shutting down on December 15, 2019.[1].
URLs
- Video watch page: https://plays.tv/video/<VIDEO ID>
- Thumbnail: https://d0playscdntv-a.akamaihd.net/media/<VIDEO ID>/transcoded/<RESOLUTION>.jpg
- Video: https://d0playscdntv-a.akamaihd.net/media/<VIDEO ID>/transcoded/<RESOLUTION>.mp4
Two video ID schemes are in use. Older uploads use a YouTube-like ID of [0-9a-zA-Z_-]{11}, newer ones are [0-9a-f]{8}[0-9a-z]{10}[0-9a-f]{6}. The web page appears to always use the new format, so there must be some correspondence between these.
Known values for <RESOLUTION> include: 144, 360, 480, 720, and 1080, with some resources only supporting lower resolutions.
The site uses two Akamai CDN domains, d0playscdntv-a.akamaihd.net and d1playscdntv-a.akamaihd.net, and both are proxies to the raptr-replay S3 bucket.
Currently, 331 million objects have been discovered, totalling 929 TB.
