it not just you, we have same thing.

Many thanks so there is no way to get past this episode and download the rest ?

I get a different error with that Moonlighting S02E14 episode:

OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument:
'temp\\Chapters_Moonlighting.S02E14.14.\tEvery.Daughters.Father.is.a.Virgin_0x16
8c13d4.txt'

Basically, all streams download but it's during the final muxing stage the error occurs. All other episodes seem to download fine.
You'll find the separately downloaded video and audio streams in .\temp folder called 'Video_f69d8aba_repack.mp4' and 'Audio_5ae1055c.mp4'

Open cmd box in .\temp
you may have to put a copy of ffmpeg into the .\temp if it's not been set in PATH
do

ffmpeg -i Video_f69d8aba_repack.mp4 -i Audio_5ae1055c.mp4 -c copy output.mp4

where output.mp4 is your final file.
If you prefer mkv

ffmpeg -i Video_f69d8aba_repack.mp4 -i Audio_5ae1055c.mp4 -c copy output.mkv

I'll make an effort to fix any service issues once Unshackle v2.0.0 is released. I've submitted a couple of pull requests that'll make it easier to maintain and add services in the future, so I'll wait for those before I start messing around.

And as a heads-up, I'll be dropping Devine support in the next updates. So those of you still using it with my services, now is the time to switch.

The episode has been downloaded but it failed to mux. However you were given instructions on how to get that file muxed. What you would do then is write down something like:

uv run unshackle dl -w S02E15-S02? STV then the url
? mark is replaced by whatever the last episode of season two is. Then you can do another line when you get season two completed such as:

uv run unshackle dl -w S03,S04,S05,? STV then the url
? represents whatever other seasons are left

-w is your download range

It is handy to learn how to work with -w as you never know what might halt a download and knowing how to continue on is important to know.

Also there are times when you should go to the temp folder and delete what is in it then start a fresh but that is something you learn as you go along. I am sure others will describe all this better than me.

Thank you for all that you do. If Ozvine services at some point don't work anymore will consider adding them in to your service repository. I know you already have AUBC and TVNZ. Ozinvine is no longer updated and perhaps at some point services such as 7plus, 9now, 10play, sbs and threenow will no longer work.

I have been using Unshackle most of the time and rarely use Devine anymore and you can tell by how there are more posts in this thread now that it may be that way for a lot of people.

Thanks for all the info though trying what you said re downloading the rest of season 2 and getting the rest of the seasons doesn't work with me. Season 2 has another 3 episodes so this is what I put :-

uv run unshackle dl -w S02E15-S02E18 STV https://player.stv.tv/episode/4sou/disney-moonlighting

For trying to downloading the rest of the seasons I put :-

uv run unshackle dl -w S03,S04,S05,S08 STV https://player.stv.tv/episode/4sou/disney-moonlighting

Nothing started / happened just a retuern to the cmd prompt

Not tried the the mux problem fix yet

[Tom Saurus]

You might have to get that episode muxed that you have in the temp folder and then make sure the temp folder is empty after that. I find that if there is stuff in the temp folder it can block Unshackle from working but it might be different for other people. My Internet is a lot slower than what you have and sometimes my modem will go out so I have to reset and see if I can get the Internet back. So there has been quite a few times where I have ended up with incomplete downloads and have to delete what is in the temp and download that episode again and change the range with the -w command to pick up where I left off and get what is left.

I am waiting for Fibre Optic Internet and that could be next year sometime. My ISP is not giving me an exact time as to when they are going to bother with the area where I live.

The command lines you wrote I don't see a reason why they wouldn't work except on the second one perhaps S06,S07 should be added in. I hope someone else chimes in to explain things better. By not using -q you are getting the best quality by default which is good if you have lots of hard drive space for the episodes. It seems to me you have learned quite a bit and it is good that you didn't give up and that posters here gave you guidance. There are others who are better than me at explaining things.

I think it may be helpful to you write down certain hints and such as to how to update Unshackle and remember to make a back up copy of your Unshackle .yaml before you update in the event it overwrites what you have specialized for your specific usage. Of course I miss out on some things though and have to scour the thread and or ask for advice. That reminds me thank you to the other posters who have helped me.

Thanks for help, actually all credit goes to PSXman_uk who has helped greatly via PM he even sent me his unshackle folder. I'm just a total dunce with all this... I'm using the pre release of unshackle 2.0 maybe that's part of the problem ? I've had vodafone fibre for a few years, now on 910 mb download which is too fast for me really

Ozinvine is no longer updated and perhaps at some point services such as 7plus, 9now, 10play, sbs and threenow will no longer work.

I have a 10Play service ready to go, so that will at least be added in the near future. I'm open to adding more AU services if that's something people are interested in.

Yes he is a terrific guy and it was kind of him to help you. Sometimes a ISP at a certain point will throttle your speed. My ISP has that for the Fibre Optic from what I have read but there throttle speed once I have used up a certain number when it comes to bandwidth is still faster than what I have now so that isn't that bad. That speed you have is terrific as long as it is affordable.

Ozivine is terrific but its Github page is gone and the maker of the program hasn't been around VideoHelp for awhile. But things change bit by bit over time and sooner or later services can be broken. The advantage of your service is that one would not be limited to just one download; one could get whole seasons and or series. 10Play is terrific for those VPNs it likes but it is very VPN sensitive akin; I know it doesn't work with Windscribe but I am sure there are VPNs that do work for it.

I am all but certain that others will like having the other AU services. Thank you BillyBanana where ever you are for Ozivine and I hope life is going well for you. I like to think he has gotten hold of Matilda and is waltzing all over Australia.

[Tom Saurus]

For those like me who's VPN is rejected by iP via Freevine, Devine and Unshackle I am testing out YTL-DP Interface and so far so good. It allows me to guenue and select quality and it is working well so far. It takes a bit of effort to get the links but it nice to set it up and let it go about the task and do something else. Thankfully it is not as VPN sensitive. getiplayer works well as but I am finding the GUI and such easier for me. I wouldn't say it is superior to getiplayer but I am becoming a fan. The only drawback is not getting subtitles but in most cases I don't need subtitles or chapters.

[Tom Saurus]

I am noticing something about the way that YT-DLP works with iP. It gets rejected eight times for the m3u8 and then it finally gets what is needs to work. What I am wondering can the iP service or Unshackle itself be amended so it doesn't give up on the first rejection if that is what happening? I don't know if it would make a difference or not. Also with YT-DLP I have not imputed my credentials at it is working and with Unshackle I have login in a password for iP. Maybe I shouldn't have login and password for iP in Unshackle. Maybe someone can message me to help me understand better. Well regardless thanks everyone anyway.

Can you check channel 4 is fully working ? I tried earlier with Paul merton the series and after one episode it just stopped

I am certainly interested if you are open to adding more AU services for sure! That would be much appreciated. If you can/if on your list.

Ok thanks but where do I add this in unshackle.yaml ?

[iamghost]

in yaml just add

credentials:
  ALL4: email:password
  CH4: email:password

CH4 folder add in services folder
thats all
cmd:

uv run unshackle dl -l en -sl en CH4 https://www.channel4.com/programmes/paul-merton-the-series

[Tom Saurus]

iamghost thank you fixing CH4 and also answering the question on how to implement it.

[tvdownloaderfan]

in yaml just add

credentials:
  ALL4: email:password
  CH4: email:password

CH4 folder add in services folder
thats all
cmd:

uv run unshackle dl -l en -sl en CH4 https://www.channel4.com/programmes/paul-merton-the-series

I've added CH4 to services from the zip file posted but still doesn't work with me
Error: "There is no Service added by the Tag 'CH4'".

[Tom Saurus]

in yaml just add

credentials:
  ALL4: email:password
  CH4: email:password

CH4 folder add in services folder
thats all

I've added CH4 to services from the zip file posted but still doesn't work with me
Error: "There is no Service added by the Tag 'CH4'".

Did you add CH4 and your credentials in your .yaml file and press save?

Did you unzip that file before adding it to services?

[iamghost]

Error: "There is no Service added by the Tag 'CH4'".

do you know how to unzip/extract CH4.zip
if so then put it in services folder and add your email and password in unshackle.yaml

[stabbedbybrick]

Unshackle v2.0.0 was released, so I've updated the services and fixed the bugs I was aware of. Make sure to uv sync Unshackle to install the latest version. As for the Channel4 error mentioned above, I can't reproduce it. It's working without any issues on my end, so might've been just a temporary problem.

I've also added 10Play and 7Plus. A lot of weird shit had to be done for these services, so there might be a few bugs here and there.

Some general notes:

• Use 'unshackle dl SERVICE --help' to get information about each service.
• Use github issues to report bugs and suggestions.
• When reporting a bug, please include title/URL and error output. I won't hunt down or guess whatever it is you're trying to download.
• VPN/proxy issues is not something I can do anything about.

Please also note that I'm not the dev of Unshackle, so I can't help with any issues. I'm not really using it myself on a regular basis, I'm just making these services for others to use since it's the only public and competently developed downloader out there at the moment. For any bugs and/or suggestions, I'd recommend checking their github or discord channel.

[iamghost]

nevermind i have sort out with cookies

[achilles]

I'm still using devine (with latest ALL4 service by SBB) and I can download Paul Merton no problem.

[deccavox]

I've also added 10Play and 7Plus. A lot of weird shit had to be done for these services, so there might be a few bugs here and there.

NZ's channel three (threenow) would be good to have. Ozivine can still handle that but who knows in the future?
Cheers

TwinVine has had an update to the GUI. I needed to branch the gui for Linux vs Windows unfortunately. Linux users get a slightly better deal.

An extra button has been added. Depending on OS, Linux will show a button called Envied - which when clicked will open another smaller gui to provide envied helpers. One button pre-populates a terminal window with "uv run envied dl --select-titles" and waits for completion with service and url. Two others run an env check and env info - for fast access to data. Config opens envied.yaml in your system's text editor.

Windows - the button is called 'Envied Config' and clicking opens the envied.yaml in notpad.

Thank you for all that you do. I would advocate for SBS Australia to be added as a service as it has some interesting shows. I apologize I mention VPN and Proxy issues.

Yes I did all that sure but it won't work with me
