Download streams from Madelen (french streaming service from INA.fr)

[monks19]

Hi. Im looking for a way to download videos from the Madelen sreaming service (from INA.fr). Recently they revamped their streaming website and I can't use Internet Download Manage anymore for this. I tried also Tube digger, but I'm having some desync/stuttering issues with it while recording (especially during the few first seconds when the recording mode kicks in automatically, sice the download mode doesn't seem to word on the website).

Any ideas on what else I can use that'll work on this streaming service ?

Thanks to answer

I can't test the site I need to login. You can try to let TD start and then do a refresh to let it start again, that seems to help me sometimes with other sites. When it finishes recording, it needs time to remux the video and audio until it finishes completely.
If nothing helps, then perhaps you need to go through learning how to decrypt the videos in order to download. There are a lot of information on this site.

Here are some information:
Website: madelen
Plan: €2.99+/month (Free trial included)
Payment: Haven't met card restrictions
Resolution: 1080p (Yes)

It uses DASH stream and Widevine to stream the video contents and to protect them. Getting keys from its DRM system (ExpressPlay) is not difficult. Try to get the mpd file, PSSH, License URL, and then get the key. You can search for tools in this forum, and use N_m3u8DL-RE to download the video.

Ok. You completely lost me. Do you have a tutorial on how to proceed (and with which programs), please ? Or are you able to make one ? I'm sure some users here will appreciate it (me first, at least).

Thanks (in advance)

There are a lot of information in the streaming section under the Stiky Threads.
You will need to spend a lot of time learning everything YOURSELF. If you don't have the time then try TD until it works or ask for help from their support or try StreamFab MPD DRM module (it is not cheap even with a discount that you might find searching the internet, but you get 3 free trials).

How to have the necessary PSSH and keys with only these poor informations I gave you.

Thank so much to help me.

You can get pssh from the mpd file:

<cenc:pssh>AAAAQHBzc2gAAAAA7e+LqXnWSs6jyCfc1R0h7QAAACAIARIQNXVGMFsHT0+w5nk4BLaNgBoKaW50ZXJ0cnVzdA==</cenc:pssh>

For the keys you need to inspect the license request. See what headers you're using and see this https://cdrm-project.com/
If the license request has a specific payload, you have to run a script with your own CDM

[GilbertA83]

Witch is the correct Madelen url Lic ?

https://d3omn1gb05hhzt.cloudfront.net/stream/122/hls/CPA81055249/CPA81055249.m3u8

Or

https://analytics-ingress-global.bitmovin.com/licensing

To me, it is the second, is it true ?

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

The first one is a m3u8 stream. The second one is a license url. I don't know if it's the only one since I've seen sites use multiple different URLs (for different reasons) but the one you wrote is a license url.

Edit: try to see if you can find the challenge in the license request. The challenge is sent by the browser CDM and usually involves a bunch of gibberish but with the visible string license.widevine.com in it. If the payload is in base64/json etc you gotta dig deeper into that nested structure to find that challenge. If you manage to find it then you are 99% that url is the proper license request. Anyway, that is usually done if you get a lot of license URLs on a page and you don't know which is the good one. You usually filter for keywords: widevine, drm, cenc, lic, etc. and most of the cases you get the good license request first try.

header? from lic url

Thanks, cedric8528, but I like to search how to download them with this interesting forum method, even if it often hardest to find the correct way.

With Tamponmonkey on Chrome, i found the same pssh than you, but with this license url :

https://licensing.bitmovin.com/licensing

and with

https://integration.widevine.com/diagnostics

i found:

KeyIds : NXVGMFsHT0+w5nk4BLaNgA==

I don't find headers...

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

I don't find headers...

If you are positive you found the right license. Right click on it > Copy value > copy as curl and go to this site: https://curlconverter.com/
Paste it there and you'll get the headers in the python code.

import requests

headers = {
    'Sec-Fetch-Dest': 'empty',
    'Sec-Fetch-Mode': 'cors',
    'Sec-Fetch-Site': 'same-site'
.....
etc
}

I found headers :

curl 'https://licensing.bitmovin.com/licensing' \
-H 'authority: licensing.bitmovin.com' \
-H 'accept: */*' \
(...) "version":"8.149.0"}' \
--compressed

but CDRM-Project gives an error like this:

ERROR
Header part ({'authority': 'licensing.bitmovin.com', 'accept': '*/*'(...)) must be of type str or bytes, not <class 'dict'>

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

but CDRM-Project gives an error like this

According to that curl request of yours, the cdrm project headers should be this (in this format):

authority: 'licensing.bitmovin.com'
accept: '*/*'
accept-language: 'fr-FR,fr;q=0.9,en-US;q=0.8,en;q=0.7'
content-type: 'text/plain;charset=UTF-8'
origin: 'https://madelen.ina.fr'
referer: 'https://madelen.ina.fr/'
sec-ch-ua: '"Not A(Brand";v="99", "Google Chrome";v="121", "Chromium";v="121"'
sec-ch-ua-mobile: '?0'
sec-ch-ua-platform: '"Windows"'
sec-fetch-dest: 'empty'
sec-fetch-mode: 'cors'
sec-fetch-site: 'cross-site'
user-agent: 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/121.0.0.0 Safari/537.36'

It throws an error so I guess that either is not the real license request or you need a custom script. I'm afraid I can't assist you further. Maybe a user with an account on that streaming site can take a look at this.

[iamghost]

is there other license url?
filter:
proxy
wv
drm
cenc
lic

Here is the Lic I found.

[iamghost]

ok, some site have 2 lic url 1: licensing.bitmovin.com 2: drm-proxy....bla ...bla
proxy lic link can bring keys but not bitmovin link
just thought that site might have more than 1 license url

Certainly that’s why the CDRM-project error answers.

i was right, there is another lic url.
told you filter wv @ post #17

[bardamu]

Hello, I'm also attempting to download videos from Madelen. I wanted to provide an update to this post.

The license URL does not always start with 'wv.' In my case, the license URL looks like this:

https://pr.service.expressplay.com/playready/RightsManager.asmx?ExpressPlayToken=CAAAAAXXXXXXX

I'm trying to obtain the key using both https://cdrm-project.com/ and https://keysdb.net/

1) I obtained the PSSH key from the MPD response;


[Attachment 76602 - Click to enlarge]

2) Then, I used the license URL, exported its headers by copying as cURL (bash), and exported all the headers with https://curlconverter.com/

3) When I attempt to get the key, it returns {"code":400,"error":true,"message":"Failed to get license: 400 Bad Request"}

however if you need more help share login trough PM

I selected the link number 2 and 3.
With the link 3, CDRM-Project answered me one error.
The same with the link 2. It was because of my bad headers entries (tested 2 times in CDRM-Project, with theirs curl links converted in JSON in the first time and in Python form in the second time).
To conclude, what is the correct Windows headers entry (the correct form)that CDRM-Project need ? We have already the correct PSSH and the link 2 (license) to use on.

[iamghost]

maybe geo lock, you will need add france proxy on CDRM-Project
