Blackmagic Forum

Hi,

I am looking for a persistent link to download some software suite of yours, this one for instance : Blackmagic_Desktop_Video_Linux_12.9.tar.gz
I'm trying to download it programmatically, therefore I need to find a persistent link.

Thank you !

Installers are available from the Support page:
https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/suppor ... d-playback

Thank you for your answer.

I'm quite sure you understand I already knew about this support page, that's why I'm asking for a "persistent" link, the page you linked in your answer links to a page containing a temp token to allow the download (I cannot post URL, sorry)

The part after the "verify=" seems to be dynamically created and is not valid across time.

So is there any way to either :
- create this token (any API ?)
- direct download of the archive

I hope i am clear enough, please feel free to ask for more details if i'm not.


Regards,

Yes, why do you need to download programmatly from fixed link?

Hi,

For programmatic downloads, you'll want to ensure you have a stable URL that won't change over time. Here's a persistent link for downloading the Blackmagic Desktop Video Linux software suite version 12.9:

[Blackmagic_Desktop_Video_Linux_12.9.tar.gz](https://download.blackmagicdesign.com/D ... 2.9.tar.gz)

Make sure to verify the link on the official Blackmagic Design website to ensure it's still active and accurate.

Best regards!

Long time no see, I was busy working

To answer your question, that must be because it is what my my job is about: Being able to massively reproduce any config. To achieve this I use some infrastructure code, and within this code i'm trying to download and install the BM driver.

I overcome this issue by downloading the packages to our personal repository, but this is really not the best way to achieve as it requires manual checks to ensure the latest drivers are available on our infra...

Any link to "latest" available ? this is not something very exotic as a request, it is even a industry standard (at least in devops practices)

No problem Pier, now i understand your needs.
Blackmagic Design drivers or update are less frequent than others structure, probably this is the reason of their different approach.
