RTL Play: (finally) Managed to get the video [Win10]

[BouhPwet]

Just wanted to share my newbie (and finally successful) attempt at downloading from RTL Play under Windows10 with minimal "coding", using Firefox with the following extensions:

• The Stream Detector

• Widevine L3 Guessor 2024

With the Stream Detector, simply selected N_m3u8DL-RE command, then clicked on the index.mpd to save the links.

My first rookie mistake was to paste the complete output in a command window.

Because the output contains two links:

N_m3u8DL-RE "https://video.dpgmedia.net/out/v1/287cc7464df940e48d9be09fe54e2857/eb76c933215848938246f10a6161dc4b/75aa63df75e944e0aeafbdbcbf096fc1/index.mpd?aws.manifestfilter=subtitle_language%3Azzz%3Btrickplay_type%3Aiframe%3Baudio_codec%3AAACL" --header "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:129.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/129.0" --header "Referer: https://www.rtlplay.be/" --save-name "index"
N_m3u8DL-RE "https://video-scrub-images.persgroep.be/eca534ca-dc2a-46eb-b55d-6c07b917a7bc/sprites/eca534ca-dc2a-46eb-b55d-6c07b917a7bc.vtt" --header "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:129.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/129.0" --header "Referer: https://www.rtlplay.be/" --save-name "eca534ca-dc2a-46eb-b55d-6c07b917a7bc"

The first one is for the video stream, the second one for subtitles I guess. I was initially pasting the full thing and of course it wasn't working /facepalm.
Pasting only the first link will save an encrypted index.mp4 file.

It even gives you the first half of the key pairs with KID, one for the video stream beginning with 7b8... and the other for the audio stream beginning with 718...

To get the key pairs, Widevine L3 Guessor 2024 will help here. While streaming the video the extension will provide key pairs:

You will recognize the 7b8... on the second line, and 718... on the fifth line.

With those, you can use mp4decrypt

And the same for the audio file.

The final step is to merge both decrypted files using mkvmerge.

And voilà.

....

And voilà.

You can use this command to do everything in one go:

MPDURL is (as the name suggests) the MPD url
OUTPUTNAME is the name of the output file you want (so SHOWNAME SXXEXX - TITLE for example)
SUBFILEPATH is the PATH + FILENAME of the subtitles you want to include. Download them first and place them in the same directory. You can just paste the link in Firefox, you don't need N_m3u8DL-RE to download them.
Put all the keys you get from the extension in a text file in the same folder and name it keys.txt ==> RE will automatically select the correct keys

N_m3u8DL-RE.exe MPDURL --save-name OUTPUTNAME --auto-select --mp4-real-time-decryption --mux-after-done format=mkv:muxer=mkvmerge --mux-import path=SUBFILEPATH:lang=fr:name="Français" -ss all --binary-merge --use-shaka-packager --check-segments-count false --key-text-file keys.txt

Make sure to have these files in your folder before running the command:

N_m3u8DL-RE.exe
ffmpeg.exe
mkvmerge.exe
shaka-packager.exe
keys.txt (with the right keys in there)
