Download from 6play or rtlplay

[Night18]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to download videos from 6play (France) or RTLplay (Belgium), with yt-dlp, without success. I know they are protected by DRM, but with an add-on like VeeVee Downloader, I manage to access the .dash files.
Surely there must be a solution?
Of course, I've already done the update.
The video (only available in Belgium): https://www.rtlplay.be/septante-et-un-p_8533/emission-du-14-08-23-c_13023600
Site requires login.

your video is drm encrypted.

To download and decrypt your video

For your learning and your serching on the forum.

you need :

PSSH
Licence Url
Headers with just "x-dt-auth-token"

a valid L3 Cdm.

Same things to decrypt videos on 6play.

Read the sticky threads.

Thank you very much. I didn't know about the N_m3u8DL-RE tool, I'll take a look at it.
I'm surprised that the quality is so low, I see that in 2023 not everyone is not up to par.

Many thanks again!

To get the higher quality, you need an L1 CDM, and use some trickery on the MPD to download the 1080 versions.

You'll have to find the 1080p MPD yourself though

Is there some way to see what resolutions need L1 for a video (obviously without downloading and attempting to decrypt) just by looking at a manifest? Rtlplay uses both L3 for lower resolutions and L1 for higher ones.

For DRMToday you can usually look at the auth-token you need to pass in the headers

For VTMGo and Streamz (also DRMToday) I usually look at:

op.config.HD.WidevineM.requireHDCP

If that value is HDCP_NONE then it's L3, any other value is L1 in my experience.

It might be different for other video providers using DRMToday, I'm not 100% sure.

Edit: I just checked for RTLPlay and it has a different JWT layout so that same check does not work.

Top of my head the easiest way to see if something is L1 is this:
Perform key request (usually even when it's L1, you'll still get the L3 keys, right?)
Check the KIDs from the MPD and see if you have the key for the 1080p (or higher) stream.
If it's there: L3, if it's not: L1 (or something else is wrong)

I think this is the best approach that can be used generally just by using the MPD content. Thanks a lot @karoolus
