How can i get source url of online streaming video using jwplayer

I have been struggling to get the streaming source of this video.

https://vidnode.net/streaming.php?id=MTU3MjM2&title=Hostiles&typesub=SUB&sub_es=true&sub=L2hvc3RpbGVzL2hvc3RpbGVzLnZ0dA==

it is using jwplayer and i can see its source via chrome developer tools.

https://video.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t42.9040-2/10000000_187709758618199_5004280148501987328_n.mp4?_nc_cat=0&efg=eyJybHIiOjE1MDAsInJsYSI6NDA5NiwidmVuY29kZV90YWciOiJzdmVfaGQifQ%3D%3D&rl=1500&vabr=571&oh=0bdc32a88a81edb15ea8470c6dc1b9fd&oe=5B00DA98

But is there any way i can scrape and get it programatically via php?Any help will be highly appreciated.

Suppose you can execute javascript (selenium) and your script looks like:

<div id="myVideo"></div>
<script type="text/JavaScript">
var playerInstance = jwplayer("myVideo");
var countplayer = 1;
var countcheck = 0;
playerInstance.setup({
  sources:[{file: 'https://video.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t42.9040-2/10000000_187709758618199_5004280148501987328_n.mp4?_nc_cat=0&efg=eyJybHIiOjE1MDAsInJsYSI6NDA5NiwidmVuY29kZV90YWciOiJzdmVfaGQifQ%3D%3D&rl=1500&vabr=571&oh=0bdc32a88a81edb15ea8470c6dc1b9fd&oe=5B00DA98',label: 'auto P','type' : 'mp4'}],

Then you can extract the url from the instance:

console.log(playerInstance.hls.url);

No way. Getting it from the source is not possible everytime. Sometimes its hidden, and in this cases, you need to find the variable that difines the video url, usually something like : 

*var video_url ="...*

So, you can open the page, play the video until it finishes, and on the console, run :

console.log(video_url);

This is fully functional, not fake .

The source for video is right there in the HTML of the page, in the script section:

    <div id="myVideo"></div>
    <script type="text/JavaScript">
        var playerInstance = jwplayer("myVideo");
        var countplayer = 1;
        var countcheck = 0;
        playerInstance.setup({
            sources:[{file: 'https://video.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t42.9040-2/10000000_187709758618199_5004280148501987328_n.mp4?_nc_cat=0&efg=eyJybHIiOjE1MDAsInJsYSI6NDA5NiwidmVuY29kZV90YWciOiJzdmVfaGQifQ%3D%3D&rl=1500&vabr=571&oh=0bdc32a88a81edb15ea8470c6dc1b9fd&oe=5B00DA98',label: 'auto P','type' : 'mp4'}],

You just have to get the file value from the first sources array.

preg_match("/sources:\[{file:\ '(.*?)'/s", $html, $match);
echo($match[1]);

gives the sought result:

https://video.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t42.9040-2/10000000_187709758618199_5004280148501987328_n.mp4?_nc_cat=0&efg=eyJybHIiOjE1MDAsInJsYSI6NDA5NiwidmVuY29kZV90YWciOiJzdmVfaGQifQ%3D%3D&rl=1500&vabr=571&oh=0bdc32a88a81edb15ea8470c6dc1b9fd&oe=5B00DA98
