Hi,

Find the cenc : AAAAMnBzc2gAAAAA7e+LqXnWSs6jyCfc1R0h7QAAABISELmBMV Ot6kPxmGvQJzW/h7w=

But impossible to find the key

Where are you getting that PSSH from? Use https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/373903-eme-logger which will get you the right PSSH, which can be used to get the key:

C:\Users\me>set HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:8081

I couldn't get yt-dlp to work ("ERROR: [generic] manifest(format=mpd-time-csf,encryption=cenc): No video formats found!;") unless I took out "(format=mpd-time-csf,encryption=cenc)" from the URL but N_m3u8DL-RE works with the original MPD URL:

Obviously if you're using a VPN or are in Switzerland, take out the proxy mentions.

EDIT: after doing what I should've done in the first place and searched this forum, I find out yt-dlp can download unencrypted videos from RTS:

Whaou thank you so much, it's perfect !!
Great job

Edit : Do you think a better resolution is possible ? I saw 960x540, It's not even 720p...

Edit : Do you think a better resolution is possible ? I saw 960x540, It's not even 720p...

Someone else on this forum may know a way - my knowledge is pretty basic - but from what I saw, I would have to say no. I opened the link with Edge and got the same manifest with the < 720p resolution. RTS only appear to use Widevine for American dramas (and optionally so at that); everything else is served up through m3us and 1080p is offered with those shows, so I guess it's intentional?

Yeah, this is intentional: if you filter for "mediaComposition" in devtools, you'll find the JSON where the streams' manifests are defined. Not one of the manifests will give you anything above 960x540

[screamjojo]

Ok thanks for the search

[quark]

Hi, is there an easier way to download streams from RTS.ch ?

[stabbedbybrick]

Hi, is there an easier way to download streams from RTS.ch ?

Depends what you mean by easier. In terms of the encryption, it doesn't get much easier. PSSH and license is easily found within the MPD, so a script could definitely be made to automate things.

If you mean easier in the sense of just using a simple downloader, then no.

[quark]

Thank you. Is there perhaps a similar piece of software with a GUI ?

[stabbedbybrick]

As far as I know, there is no GUI that handles decryption for this site.

[lomero]

Thank you. Is there perhaps a similar piece of software with a GUI ?

it seem this site not have encryption. so simply play your video, search m3u8 link from network tab and use one app from here:
https://www.videohelp.com/software/sections/video-streaming-downloaders

like yt-dlp-gui, TVDownloader, TUBE4, MediaDownloader

Streamfab do the job with RTS.

[quark]

Thank you for all this choice. I'll try them (possibly all) and report if I succeed in downloading from RTS play and which one is best.

[quark]

So far, no luck. I tried MediaDownloader, TVdownloader & StreamFab. I used a VPN to locate in Switzerland. The video will play fine in the browser, but won't download using any of these pieces of software. Here are some of the errors reported. Looks like the video http://www.rts.ch/play/tv/yellowstone/video/cent-ans-ce-nest-rien-episode-18-saison-5?...video:13885651 is DRM protected. Any idea ?

Finally succeeded with Streamfab after fiddling a little !
