Thanks for the found error and also the quick fix

Very nice tool, I am impressed!

I am trying to download from viki.com.
But I got 2 fails messages in 2 diferrent points

Error in lines 141~157

Its appear the script didn't not fecth cookies. How can I get sure about that?

I did some testing and deleted lines 141~157 to proceed to the next steps.
Windows 10, firefox, logged in viki.com, video is playing fine.

Yep. They changed something recently. A quick fix is editing the original service file in these places
- line 32, change

    APP_ID, APP_VER = None, None

to

    APP_ID, APP_VER = None, '1.1.1'

and replace/overwrite these functions with the new code

    @staticmethod
    def get_app_info():
        response = requests.get(viki_com.BASE_URL).content.decode()
        app_id = re.findall(r'"appID":"(.*?)"', response)[0]
        return app_id

    @staticmethod
    def initialize_service():
        if viki_com.LOGIN_COOKIES is None:
            viki_com.LOGIN_COOKIES = viki_com.get_login_cookies()
        if viki_com.APP_ID is None:
            viki_com.APP_ID = viki_com.get_app_info()
        return viki_com

Careful with the tab indentation since it's python and now it works.

Hi, I tried to download from tf1.fr tonight (both v2.11 and v3.0), and I got

[APP_ERROR] Failed to download: ... Reason: Failed to initialize the tf1_fr service.

So I debugged the service, and it looks like the values retrieved by the get_tf1_info() method are now inside escaped JSON (with \\" instead of ").
My working fix was quite simple: add .replace('\\"', '"') at the end of the 1st line:

Thanks very much for this. I think this must be a very recent change on TF1 as I used it some point last week.
I hit the problem today, and your fix worked perfectly. You've saved me having to investigate further myself.

Let me also take the opportunity to thank the you, the author, for this fantastic tool which has saved me so much effort.

Very nice! Thanks for fast reply

Tested and working
Only 2 points to be perfect
1. Subtitle is not downloading
2. Audio name is "english" but should be "korean"

No pass given, cookie is get automatically,
I can download 1080p!

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

1. The subtitles are downloading automatically if the n_m3u8dl-re parameters in the config file contain -ss all . Also they're muxed in the final mkv file. You can select the subtitle you want using the video player
2. That happens cause the korean audio is interpreted as "en" by N_m3u8DL-RE. Not really something I can do or care that much to fix.

Please select what you want to download:

[ ] Basic
[X] Vid *CENC 852x480 | 484 Kbps | 3 | avc1.640028 | 1 Segment | ~01h01m54s

Notice the "en"

Also thanks for confirming regarding the cookies

It seems that something is wrong when I try to download the subtitles.
The settings are ok "-ss all"

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

I think this happens cause you did too many requests at once (even if its 404 error). Wait 5-10 minutes, then test manually for a random video using stream detector on browser to see if you can download subtitles. If it works, set in the config file: "MEDIA_DOWNLOADER": 1

That way you'll use only one thread for downloading so it shouldn't raise any "429 too many requests" issues that quickly.

Also removing -mt from parameters might help to stop n_m3u8dl-re from downloading multiple tracks in parallel at once. Viki is kinda picky when it comes to lots of requests

Sadly I don't add sites by request. I just add them randomly from time to time. Plus, that site gave me troubles in the past even with VPN.

[Dafalgan]

Thanks for adding Goplay! You are amazing!

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

v3.1.0:

- tf1.fr (thanks @gibolin for the fix)
- viki.com

[kalemvar1]

Hello,

Thanks for sharing such a wonderful scrips like widefrog. I'm using it with TF1 since a moment without any problem, but some series have 2 audio track (original and tranlated one), is there a way on widefrog to select which one we can get ? I've checked all the thread and used the option

python widefrog.py --usage

without a clue on how to find a solution. If anyone has encounter this situation before, a hand would be welcome.

Thanks

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

Hello. In app_files/config.json file you have tool parameters. There you can edit what N_m3u8DL-RE parameters receives. You need to know about N_m3u8DL-RE parameters from github or by typing N_m3u8DL-RE --help

Or you can simply remove

-sv best -sa best -da id=audio_div -ss all

And you'll select manually everytime N_m3u8DL-RE is launched.

Hello pepe.

There are videos that have 4k quality but widefrog is not seeing that in the player_data

I checked and 'manifest' url is different than the one i have in my browser.

        "manifest": "https://vcze180.cda.pl/17625912vp9/17625912.mpd",
        "manifest_cast": "https://vcze191.cda.pl/17625912/17625912.mpd",

in widefrog:

'manifest': 'https://vcze191.cda.pl/17625912/17625912.mpd', 
'manifest_cast': 'https://vcze191.cda.pl/17625912/17625912.mpd',

What i came up with as a 'quick and dirty' workaround for this is

manifest = content.get("manifest", None)
        if manifest is None:
            return cda_pl.generate_master_m3u8(source_element, content), None, {}

        if content.get("height") == 2160:
            parts = manifest.rsplit("/", 2)  # Splits into 3 parts: base URL, folder, filename
            if len(parts) == 3:
                manifest = f"{parts[0]}/{parts[1]}vp9/{parts[2]}"
                manifest = manifest.replace('vcze191', 'vcze180')

        license_url = content["manifest_drm_proxy"]
        custom_data = content["manifest_drm_header"]

it's enough for me but i wanted to ask if you have any idea why it is like this?

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

Hello monk. To truly understand the issue, can you provide a publicly available video URL that offers 4k? Or at least you can share a HAR file in private as detailed in my signature guide.

sent you a PM

[damian66]

can you please add tod.tv

[Dafalgan]

Hi,

Vrt is not working anymore.
I get this error :
[USER_ERROR]/[APP_ERROR] Failed to download: "link". Reason: Failed to extract content data. Solution: Make sure you can play the content. If you can, then debug the vrt_be service.

Do you have a fix?
Thanks in advance!

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

Hello. Yes, they changed something recently. A temp fix is overwriting the service with this one
vrt_be.py

It will be added in the next version.

can you please add tod.tv

Unfortunately, no.

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

v3.2.0:
=> + joyn.de

Minor changes:
=> fixed some bugs for vrt.be
=> added livestream support for the following services: rtlplay.be, vrt.be, vtmgo.be

[portfolo]

Is it just me or is vtmgo broken right now? I'm getting this error Reason: This content is no longer available or refresh the site cookies or VPN issues (Belgium). Solution: Do not attempt to download it or sign into your account using Firefox and play a random video or fix your VPN. If it persists then debug the service.

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

Well, have you done what the message said? Works fine for me

Provide video URL if it still fails

[portfolo]

The video that you downloaded also fails for me for some reason. I can download from vrt just fine and I can download from vtmgo by using N_m3u8DL-RE manually. I'm logged into vtmgo on Firefox (dev edition if that matters) and did everything it said in the error.

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

Sorry, can't reproduce the issue. I am using "Firefox 136.0.3 (64-bit)". No dev or nightly version, only "normal" one.

Hello, i think Vix is not working anymore.
Bc always I get this error :
[WARNING] No download commands have been generated.
Do you have a fix? Thanks in advance!

Hello, i think Vix is not working anymore.

Do you have a fix? Thanks in advance!

I was reviewing the script's functionality regarding the issue with Vix, and I noticed that if you use the direct video link (without any queries or without using the general series link), it does work. This is likely because I think they internally changed the way they refer to seasons. For example, in the series: https://vix.com/es-es/detail/series-506, I believe it used to be something like https://vix.com/es-es/detail/series-506?seasonId=1 (I don’t remember exactly, but if it’s not like that, it’s similar), and now it’s: https://vix.com/es-es/detail/series-506?seasonId=season:mcp:506_1. Just so you’re aware in case you want to update it in future versions. Thanks so much for your work!
P.S. Also, after looking into it a bit more, I noticed that in the "novelas" section, the shows behave differently. For example: https://vix.com/es-es/detail/series-654. Note how the word "novela" is added before the third "season": https://vix.com/es-es/detail/series-654?seasonId=season:mcp:654_1:novelaSeasonId:1.
Lastly, I’d like to mention that the amazing widefrog is indeed capable of downloading movies from this site, but the link format needs to be like this: https://vix.com/video/video-4046157 or like this: https://vix.com/es-es/video/video-4046157, because the page initially gives you something like this: https://vix.com/es-es/detail/video-4046157.
