Is there a way to get these without having a Premium account? I can download the 720p videos fine, but I can't upgrade to Premium because my bank card doesn't have a CA billing address. If being actually logged in/sending Premium credentials is necessary, then I'm dead in the water, but if it's just a question of a different link structure...
Or, alternatively, does anyone know of a solution for the card billing address issue?
EDIT: It seems that with CBC GEM, all you have to do is literally enter the url of the episode/movie into yt-dlp as input and it grabs the 1080p stream.
EDIT2: A different problem - the above mentioned method grabs only stereo 192k audio, but there are 5.1 384k streams, like in BTN's rip of Dragon's Den S15E01 which aren't available through this method. Any ideas on how to get that one? Or is it a premium-only feature?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays!

Seems as though CBC has made a change overnight. I no longer can get the 1080p streams. The player video quality cog shows 'Low' and 'Average' but the 'High/1080p' is greyed out.

Follow this issue on the yt-dlp github regarding cbc gem changes, no fix yet - https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/6395

good, somebody found a fix: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/6395#issuecomment-1462442492
Just add /media/ after https://gem.cbc.ca/ -
Please for dummies such as myself please give instructions on how to download from CBC Gem. I do remember I tried that media trick at one point and it worked but either it doesn't work now or I have forgotten exactly how to get it. I usually go for 640 x 360 quality with English audio.
Thank you in advance and if it is really complex I probably won't be able to accomplish it but I will try. -

I am happy with 540p any higher the files take up too much hard drive space. But it is good for those who desire 1080p can get it if they want.

I just use mkvtoolnix to mux them into a mkv container. Takes a few seconds.
I'm sure the fix will be included in the next release of yt-dlp.
