Freevine - A downloader for free streaming services (discontinued) - Page 47

Note that aria2c can reach the highest speeds as it utilizes threading and more connections than the other downloaders. However, aria2c can also be one of the more unstable downloaders. It will work one day, then not another day. It also does not support HTTP(S) proxies while the other downloaders do.

This shows up in Google search via Reddit:

aria2c.exe or aria2 is legitimate software, it seems. Unfortunately for you, it can be used to download files and can be remote controlled.

Then there seems to be something about it reads what you are downloading and puts that up to a bit torrent swarm. So it just makes me uncomfortable and I just don't want to take chances on such intrusions just to gain some speed.

Just wanted to let any Channel 5 / MY5 users know that the script will most likely stop working within a week or so. There are other options that will continue to work, like Diazole's original script and perhaps Angela's downloader, so there are still alternatives. I just figured I'd give a notice in case some of you still use this one.

The reason for it stopping is that the automatic hmac retriever that ran daily so that users wouldn't need to do it themselves, is dead. And I won't be fixing it. If you don't know what the hell I'm talking about, the hmac keys were basically needed to decrypt API responses. Without them, you won't get a license or manifest from this script. And I think each pair is valid for about a week.

I've written a functional Devine service for MY5 without the need for any hmac at all, which is why I won't be fixing the old method. It's instead using the android API with certification to access the license, which makes things a lot smoother. I'll probably put it up online soon, when the bug with the broken progress bar in Devine has been fixed.

Brilliant, thanks for the advance notice Stabby. Look forward to the Devine service, thanks in advance for that!

Nah, most of the services should continue to work for a while yet. Although, if you could learn Freevine, you can definitely learn Devine as well. People around the forum seemingly made it a mission to mess up at every stage and make it sound as difficult as possible, but the process is just like most other similar projects: clone, install, set up the config file. Done.

Although the procedure is all in this thread, scattered about, I will outline my interpretation in hopefully layman's terms to help those that are struggling. I cannot say it is all my own work, another member gave me a lot of useful input. Also, member iamghost provided a huge amount of help with his posts.

The actual github page for devine is here: https://github.com/devine-dl/devine
It describes which dependencies are required, ie. CCExtractor, ffmpeg (and ffprobe), mkvtoolnix (the actual important file is mkvmerge.exe), shaka-packager and aria2c. Although you can put them in the devine folder that you will have, I personally have them in a separate folder on my C:\ drive (I've called mine download_tools), I've put them all in there and I've setup my Windows Environmental PATH to point to them.

1. You need to install the Python module 'poetry' as a global entity. So, open up a CMD terminal (anywhere) and
Code:
pip install poetry
FYI: poetry is an alternative to 'venv' but better. Also, normally, a requirements.txt would contain the list of packages required. poetry will use the pyproject.toml file instead to do the same.

2. Download and unzip devine: https://files.videohelp.com/u/301156/devine.zip
Put the devine folder somewhere convenient (I wouldn't recommend having too deep a folder structure).

3. clone stabbedbybrick's excellent devine-services: https://cdm-project.com/stabbedbybrick/devine-services into your .\devine\devine folder to replace the existing 'services' folder in there.

4. Copy/paste your .wvd file from your freevine to .\WVDs folder.
If you don't have a working wvd, see Angela's excellent instructions: https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/411862-Beyond-WKS-KEYS#post2708046

5. In .\devine\devine folder, open devine.yaml in Notepad++ or similar. You need to change settings/paths to suit youir setup. Here's mine:
Code:
directories:
    services: D:\devine\devine\services
    temp: D:\devine\temp
    downloads: D:\devine\downloads
    cookies: D:\devine\cookies
    cache: D:\devine\cache
    logs: D:\devine\Logs
    WVDs: D:\devine\WVDs\ANDROID_1111_l3.wvd
cdm: 
  default: ANDROID_1111_l3
  
credentials: 
  ALL4: email:password
#  ROKU: email:password
  
key_vaults:
  - type: SQLite
    name: Local Vault
    path: D:\devine\devine\key_store.db

tag: ''
  
downloader: aria2c
         
profiles:
  default: default
services:
    iP:
        cert: D:\devine\devine\certs\bbciplayer.pem
Where yours may differ: I have put my devine folder in D:\. Swap that to your path setup.
My WVDs number is made up, but at least you can get the gist.
Note, where is says
'cdm:
default: ANDROID_1111_l3'
It's important to not include the extension '.wvd'.
I've #'d out ROKU. I don't use it.
Also, I've not given you my All4 email & p/w lol.

6. Go to C:\Users\your_pc_name\AppData\Local\
or, just enter %localappdata% in Windows search box
Create a folder called 'devine'
Copy/paste your WVDs folder and your 'device.yaml' to there, so that you end up with an actual folder WVDs and file devine.yaml in there.

7. Now let's create your venv. Go back to your (outer) devine folder.
Code:
poetry config virtualenvs.in-project true
FYI that will ensure the venv to be created is within your cwd (ie. devine folder)

8.
Code:
poetry install
FYI this will create your venv, complete with correct packages (from pyproject.toml). You should notice a new folder '.venv'

That's you all set up (unless I've missed something out lol.

To activate your venv:
Code:
poetry shell
Your command line will now start with (devine-py3.10)
You're in.
Let's try a few things
Code:
devine env info
That will list your working directories
Code:
devine dl -?
gives you all the download commands, including what channels are setup.
Code:
devine dl ALL4 -?
a bit of stabby's help regarding All4

Instead of ALL4 above, put in the channel that you're interested in, eg.
Code:
devine dl iP -?
for iplayer.

Just to get you going
Code:
devine dl -w s17e01 ALL4 taskmaster
or, for a 4K show:
Code:
devine dl -v H.265 -w S01E02 iP m001xxn5
To exit your venv, quote oficial poetry documentation:
To deactivate the virtual environment and exit this new shell type 'exit'. To deactivate the virtual environment without leaving the shell use 'deactivate'.
Probably just closing the terminal does the same lol.

Hope all that helps and I haven't missed anything out.
Thanks, this has been very useful. I wanted to ask you if the cert still works. I'm getting the following error, possibly due to using NordVPN.
Code:
SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='securegate.iplayer.bbc.co.uk', port=443): 
Max retries exceeded with url: 
/mediaselector/6/select/version/2.0/vpid/p0d0tn54/format/json/mediaset/iptv-uhd/
proto/https (Caused by SSLError(SSLError(524297, '[SSL] PEM lib 
(_ssl.c:3905)')))
Also, are any other files needed in the cert folder? I only have the pem file.

Thanks!

I am looking at stabby's releases pre hmac/aes being automatically fetched (in particular v0.5.5-beta). But I cannot for the life of me remember how we updated the ./keys/retrieve-keys.html file when those keys (hmac/aes) were no longer valid. stabby's --help is suggesting using Diazole's my5-dl script, but that's not how we did it since Diazole's script uses the pywidevine module and both myself and stabby were still with the pywidevine solution from WKS-KEYs. For me to have been able to have used Diazole's script I would have had to work it within a venv, and I most certainly wasn't using venvs then.

So, can somebody remind me. when using freevine v0.5.0-beta to v0.5.5-beta, how did we update that ./keys/retrieve-keys.html file to be able to copy/paste the new hmac/aes?

The .html file is its own thing and not tied to any script or environment. You run it in a browser and it gives you the keys, that's all. In the early stages of the Freevine My5 script, this was done manually by the user and then put into the service config. But I quickly dropped that and started using a remote server for the keys so the user wouldn't have to think twice about it. Back then the updates came in every other day, so it's very possible that this change was done before the initial hmac keys even became invalid and you just never had to do anything about it.

@stabbedbybrick. Ah, I'm with it. doh. It still works for My5. OK, we don't have as many parameters to choose from as later versions of freevine, but it'll do me (and there's more parameters than devine anyway lol).

Thanks.

Thank you for looking into this and testing it out. It should be working for me as well. I just tested it with my free Windscribe and it does the same thing so it isn't a VPN issue.

I wouldn't assume that. It's entirely possible for a streaming service to block one or more Windscribe IPs.

Hello, forgive my ignorance but there are things that I don't know and I don't understand much, is there a more detailed video or tutorial to install and make Freevine work step by step?

With Freevine I seem to be able to get series but not movies. I decided to try Pluto TV Canada to see if I would have success with that. I have NordVPN and tried all three Canadian servers plus deactivated Nord VPN and went with my own IP and a failure each time on movies but series seems to work. On another sad note CBC has stopped working for me all together but I will expand on that another day. Here is a log:

For me it took me a while to figure out how to get Freevine up and running. For me it was gathering the programs that it needs and I downloaded the zip version of Freevine and unzipped that and put that in C: Drive. You have to have python installed and there are better methods than what I used to get Freevine working but it was what I understood. You have to pay attention to what stabbedbybrick wrote on his webpage.

Thank you and I did some experimenting and was able to get "Dr. Cabby" thanks to you pointing out that about the url. I would like to learn more about the search function in freevine.

Some good news I was able to get a couple of movies from Pluto TV United States via Freevine. Then I took a chance and moved my CBC Profile file which had expired and placed it on an external hard drive just in case then I ran the line of code with my login and password and it updated via Freevine and now CBC is working again. Then I went and deleted the old profile file. It is certainly nice to have these two services working again. Maybe one of these days I will have the gumption to give Devine another go.

I don't know if anyone is interested (or its allowed) but i've managed to get channel 5 working again.
ive changed the script slightly and added parts of A_n_g_e_l_a update script.

Its uses firefox backend so that must be installed and selenium (pip install selenium)

You just use freevine as usual, but it takes 3 seconds to get the hmac and aes and continues downloading, without anything extra.

Oh that would be great news! I do intend to get Devine working but last time I tried it wasn't quite there and I have a lot of problems with my eyes these days so wading through walls of text on websites to learn new stuff needs to be balanced with using them to read walls of text for work (copy editor)

I appreciate that, but anyone is welcome to post fixes and additions to Freevine in here.

What I'm mostly curious about is how you manage to use the slow horribleness that is selenium to fetch the keys in 3 seconds?

Takes me about 7 seconds. As I suggest elsewhere setting a cron job to do it once or twice a week might be a good idea; then you could forget it. I've published the stand-alone python script somewhere.

I don't think you need to bother with Firefox being installed, I might be wrong, but I thought the modern version of selenium included all the needed bits.

I'm just saying it feels about 3 seconds extra. I didn't actually time it.
It was still quicker than running the retrieve keys manually and copy and pasting them.
It was just more important to me, that I kept your excellent program going.
Devine was giving me a headache, so was wondering how to fix c5.
A_n_g_e_l_a script saves it to a file and loads on config startup, whilst this saves in memory when c5 script is called.

If it helps anyone, great. But have a play with it like I did.
If it takes to long for anyone, they don't like it or it doesn't work, just replace my channel5.py with the original one.
