CRAVE TV - No problem to get keys but no working mpd to download files

[George7]

Hi, i need help with Crave TV.

I can find the keys for any Crave's videos but can't download using either mpd, i'm getting error 401 unauthorized.
I'm using N_m3u8DL-RE, is there any arguments to add to command line to avoid error 401.

Is the video behind a paid subscription? I get a prompt to Sign In before I can watch the video.

Correction to check audio video info

yt-dlp --allow-u "https://capi.9c9media.com/destinations/crave_atexace/platforms/desktop/playback/contents/866309/contentpackages/1174303/manifest.mpd?filter=25" --add-header "Authorization: Bearer ey" -F

with video and audio option chosen

yt-dlp.exe --allow-unplayable-formats -f h264-ffa6v1-30p-primary-7200000,ac3-ffa6v1-english-primary-384000 "https://capi.9c9media.com/destinations/crave_atexace/platforms/desktop/playback/contents/866309/contentpackages/1174303/manifest.mpd?filter=25" --add-header "Authorization: Bearer ey"

When checking for audio and video info, i get this error:

[generic] manifest: Downloading webpage
ERROR: 'latin-1' codec can't encode character '\u2026' in position 513: ordinal not in range(256)

I've succeed with N_m3u8DL-RE -H "Authorization: Bearer ey" "https://capi.9c9media.com.....manifest.mpd?filter=25

Thank you for your help

the code of the bearer ey,,,, changes at each refresh and after x time after that they will give an error.
you really have to enter the complete code after ey

I know, i just didn't write it here as it's a long sequence. As i wrote, i've no problem now downloading videos from Crave. Your help was welcome.
Beside filter=25 for 1080p, is there any other filters that you know.

Thank you

As for the filter issue, I remember it's filter=14?

Once I wrote a Python script for downloading videos from crave in 1080p, but I couldn't remember.

filter=14 is for Noovo

[CrymanChen]

filter=14 is for Noovo

OK, just asking. I just couldn't remember the exact numeral.

filter=14 used to work for CTV as well, but doesn't work anymore as CTV has changed some things around. I guess noovo and crave did not get the same changes.

[achilles]

Thanks.

I was getting two mpd links. The one pointing to capi.9c9media.com still works . But I had been trying the one that points to u2.video.9c9media.com and that one doesn't work.
