what python version do u use?

im getting this now:

C:\Users\danny\Desktop\c4-dl-master\c4-dl-master>py .\c4-dl.py --download --wvd "C:\widevine_device.wvd" --url "https://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-big-bang-theory/on-demand/44564-001"

i tried to install requests via pip install requests

[ampersand]

all the ch4 files I have are the script from github
all the python files I have is the installation file for python v3.10.3

"Requires-Python >=3.7,<3.11"
this means it requires python version higher than or equal to 3.7 AND lower than 3.11
I see you're using 3.11, so I guess that's the problem

[ampersand]

and did requests install or was there an error or was there no output at all? i'm not a python guy, I work with javascript and node.

i have uninstalled the new version and am installing that version 3.10.3, yes i installed requests

try this:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19623267/importerror-no-module-named-crypto-cipher...48720#39048720

in the future try googling the error itself, i got this by googling ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Crypto'
stackoverflow is good for these kinds of problems

[Dannyboi]

i have its not working:

[ampersand]

i think the pywidevine error is because the folder that it is trying to write the output to doesn't exist.

the setup needs to be like this:
folder named folderA contains: device_private_key, device_client_id_blob and an empty folder named folderB
then from folderA you call the "pywidevine create-device" command and for "-o" you use folderB

[ampersand]

for crypto: it is again literally telling you what you need to do
"error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required." means that you need to install Microsoft Visual C++ version 14 or greater

you are making a big mess out of something very simple
create folder named folderA. copy device_private_key and device_client_id_blob into it. then enter folderA. create empty folderB inside folderA. open command prompt (cmd) and navigate to folderA. enter THIS EXACT COMMAND: pywidevine create-device -k device_private_key -c device_client_id_blob -t "ANDROID" -l 3 -o folderB

install Microsoft Visual C++ version 14 or higher
then repeat the process fromt he stackoverflow answer i linked

[Dannyboi]

got it working now thanks now all i need to do is update the script to mux the decrypted mp4 files

All with the higher bitrate yeah? (around 5000 kb/s) Or are you stuck with the web bitrate? (around 3000 kb/s)

[ampersand]

All with the higher bitrate yeah? (around 5000 kb/s) Or are you stuck with the web bitrate? (around 3000 kb/s)

if he's using the diazole script then it's the lower one, the web bitrate
do you need L1 for the higher one or?

[T33V33]

do you need L1 for the higher one or?

no its still L3

anyone know how i can download the higher bitrate videos?

[ampersand]

no its still L3

neither ffprobe nor yt-dlp's --list-formats show this hgiher quality stream
is it possible it's available only on some shows?
i have seen a scene all4 rip with 5000k bitrate, the other scene all4 rips are usually 3000k


EDIT: you're right, I just tried downloading an episode of Screw with Diazole's script and got ~3000k, while SDCC's scene WEB-DL has 5000k

[ampersand]

ok, so have I got this right - you're playing the episode from the same link on their web but in one case it's playing on a PC and in another on a TV and they detect this and send you different manifests?
or are you playing it on your tv through some kind of all4 app for smart tvs?
how are you getting the network traffic from the tv?
