SkyShowtime

[kalehrl]

Hi.
Is it possible to download from this service? I have a working WidevineProxy2 setup and I can download the files but in the N_m3u8DL-RE log there is no attempt to decrypt it even though the --key entry is present. I tried with both Shaka and mp4decrypt but it's the same. When I open the resulting file, the first part with the commercials in unencrypted but as soon as the main content starts, the file is scrambled. There are these entries in the log as well:

I tried 1280x720 and 512x288 but the result is the same. Any solution?

SkyShowtime is a paid subscription service, not a free one

[kalehrl]

I know but I can't find this information anywhere.

[z1269925944]

you got mpd with ads on browser, that why it's not decrypting correctly
what title you trying to download

[kalehrl]

Yes, I'm using a pc browser.
Funny thing is, there are no ads when I actually play the content in the browser, Tulsa king for example.
It's only when I download it that the ad segment appears at the beginning of the file.

[larley]

ad blocker?

[kalehrl]

I use ublock origin but I tested without it but the result is the same - no ads in browser regardless of ad blocker.

There is no attempt to decrypt the files.

You're quite right!
I just deleted the first period from the mpd and voila, it worked!

Here is clean url for Tulsa King S01E01 4K SDR

[kalehrl]

I now encountered a problem with subtitles.
More than half the lines are missing.
Is there a program I need to have in N_m3u8DL-RE folder for proper subtitles?
I checked the website and all subtitle lines are there but when I download the episode, most lines are missing.
I tried 2 languages and it's the same.

[kalehrl]

Does anyone have any idea how the subtitle problem can be debugged?

[LZAA]

https://files.videohelp.com/u/274438/en-US.srt

[kalehrl]

What's that file?
I see it's a subtitle.
Subtitle downloaded form SkyShowtime are incomplete.

[LZAA]

Show me.

[kalehrl]

Here are some examples:

[LZAA]

This is incorrect. You need to compare the text in the subtitle file with the text in the web player.

[kalehrl]

I did and everything is translated fine in the web player.

[iamghost]

VT have skyshowtime service, I cant use it without cookies to download from skyshowtime

Hi, I have the exact same issue with a Skyshowtime url. What part did you remove? I've tried several combinations and nothing worked. I cannot identify the add part.
