Does anybody have the links to the MPDs for the following URLs:

https://plus.rtl.de/video-tv/shows/schlefaz-die-schlechtesten-filme-aller-zeiten-98885...mbiber-1025166
https://plus.rtl.de/video-tv/shows/schlefaz-die-schlechtesten-filme-aller-zeiten-98885...xpress-1025167

I would be interested in the CBR versions with the highest bitrate

Thanks in advance, and have a nice weekend!

CBR 1080p:

VBR (from premium with no url hacks) 1080p:

For whatever reason RTL gives you the /sd/ url for premium but doesnt matter its all the same mpd. Same for android/tv/tizen and so on.

VBR is 99 % trash. So have fun with the CBR Playlist

Hi all,

I also need a little help getting the keys.

I try to go step by step through what I've done so far:

1) The file I want to download: https://plus.rtl.de/video-tv/serien/alles-was-zaehlt-146430/2025-8-1039293/episode-476...bedroht-971749
2) --> mpd: https://vodnowusoawsdash-cf.tvnow.de/pgrn/streaming/watch/971749/3-10000-1-1-1-X.ism/rtlplus.mpd
3) --> licence url: https://rtlplus-widevine.streamingtech.de/index/rtlplus

Then I edited the headers.py with the x-auth-token show in the headers of the POST https://rtlplus-widevine.streamingtech.de/index/rtlplus:

[Attachment 88706 - Click to enlarge]
(scolling down a little to the x-auth-token:

@Obo
@larley

Thank you very much for the links and for the keys, respectively. However, due to random, I have tried the links from @lostion first, and they worked at once, so I didn't try yours in addition.

@Lostion
As always, thank you very much! Your links and keys worked like a charm - no fiddling around. Next weekend I'll probably ask for the next two Schlefaz episodes

[Lostion]

np just write me a PM and I can send you the links

Hi Marcel,

I really can't tell you what the problem is. Nevertheless, I perhaps have a solution for you:

Personally, my motivation to play around with Python code is quite limited; I just want the stuff to be on my disk. Therefore, a while ago, I have searched for a more usable solution and have found something that is called `hellyes`. Watch out out for version 5 (hellyes5). It is a ZIP archive that (among a lot of other stuff) contains a python script with "...gui..." in its name.

This is what you may be after . If you execute it, a minimal GUI appears where you enter the MPD URL in the first field and the license request URI in the second field, and it does the rest automatically. I always had success with it as long as I had the correct MPD and license URI. I didn't test it with anything else than RTL plus so far, though, because I am only interested in the Schlefaz show.

Two things to note:

1. Before you start the script mentioned above, you must activate the correct virtual environment that's in the helleys5 directory. Otherwise, the script may throw errors and may not start at all (depending on your Python installation).

2. I believe that your license URI is wrong. I haven't used all that stuff for a longer time now, but I eventually remember that the license URI usually contains a lot of parameters and thus is several hundreds of characters long. In contrast, your URI is just a URL without any parameters. I may be wrong, so it would probably a good idea to learn how to extract the license URI the correct way.

Have fun, and a nice Sunday!

[Marcel]

Hi 4L7zHhiyQO3Thui6,

thanks for the hint, it's working now. You were right, the problem was the url of the licence.

I will play around with it a little more and then come back and give an update.

Thanks again and have a nice rest of the sunday

[Lostion]

https://rtlplus-widevine.streamingtech.de/index/rtlplus

Is the right url for widevine.

No idea about the python code above.

you only need to pass x-auth-token in pywidevine script

Hello, when I follow the instructions below, I get an mkv file with a size of 1.648 GB if I want the highest resolution (7154 Kbps). I found the same episode available for download in a forum with a size of 2.359 GB. What do I need to change to get the larger file?

There is barley a difference in quality, that you would notice.
They usually use StreamFab or another paid service.

may be, premium subscription offers better quality or 5.1 audio
btw, your KID:KEY is wrong

No 5.1 on RTL+ also 7800 is the CBR version which you don't get mostly on browsers.

@ListyDoM: The KID Key is: 6d06654db43724723bd7063e2cb626c9 and this is exactly correct in my first posting.

I have included the properties of both video files in the appendix.

Bigger file: codec High@L4 codec id: V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC, Overall bit rate : 7 364 kb/s

From the bitrates offered, it looks to me as if the version “Vid *CENC 1920x1080 | 7154 Kbps | video=7154000 | avc1.4D4028” is selected, but the "Vid * CENC 1920x1080 | 4467 Kbps | video=4467000 | avc1.4D4028" is ultimately stored on the disk.

Hi all,

I also need a little help getting the keys.

I try to go step by step through what I've done so far:

1) The file I want to download: https://plus.rtl.de/video-tv/serien/alles-was-zaehlt-146430/2025-8-1039293/episode-476...bedroht-971749
2) --> mpd: https://vodnowusoawsdash-cf.tvnow.de/pgrn/streaming/watch/971749/3-10000-1-1-1-X.ism/rtlplus.mpd
3) --> licence url: https://rtlplus-widevine.streamingtech.de/index/rtlplus

Then I edited the headers.py with the x-auth-token show in the headers of the POST https://rtlplus-widevine.streamingtech.de/index/rtlplus:

[Attachment 88706 - Click to enlarge]
(scolling down a little to the x-auth-token:

[Attachment 88707 - Click to enlarge]

4) My headers.py:

import requests

headers = {
    'x-auth-token': 'eyJhbGciO...',
}
params = (
    ('platform', 'BROWSER'),
    ('type', 'MOVIE'),
)
# params inserted below will be passed to data-raw 

token = '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'

response = requests.post('https://rtlplus-widevine.streamingtech.de/index/rtlplus', headers=headers)

# print(f'{chr(10)}widevine_license: {response.content}')

Is this correct?

In the requests.post I removed the cookies=cookies and data=data as later on the l3.py crashed.
With the cookies I get this error:

5) Execute the l3.py using "python.exe .\l3.py"

I get this error:

server did not issue license, make sure you have correctly pasted all the required headers in the headers.py. Also check json/raw params of POST request.

Any idea what could be the problem?

you only need to pass x-auth-token in pywidevine script

 def decrypt_content(pssh, license_url, token):

    try:
        pssh_obj = PSSH(pssh)
        device = Device.load(DEVICE_PATH)
        cdm = Cdm.from_device(device)
        session_id = cdm.open()
        
        challenge = cdm.get_license_challenge(session_id, pssh_obj)
        
        headers = {
            'x-auth-token': token,
        }
        
        session = requests.Session()
        licence_response = session.post(
            license_url,
            data=challenge,
            headers=headers
        )
        licence_response.raise_for_status()
        
        licence = licence_response.content
        cdm.parse_license(session_id, licence)

        returned_keys = []
        print("\nKeys :")
        for key in cdm.get_keys(session_id):
            if key.type != "SIGNING":
                key_string = f"{key.kid.hex}:{key.key.hex()}"
                returned_keys.append(key_string)
                print(f"   --key {key_string}")

        cdm.close(session_id)

To obtain the video keys, you can proceed as follows (in simplified form):

import os

CYAN = "\x1b[38;5;14m"
YELLOW = "\x1b[38;5;226m"
END = "\x1b[0m"

def print_title():
    title = pyfiglet.figlet_format("Widevine Decryptor Keys", font="slant", width=150)
    print(f"{CYAN}{title}{END}")

def validate_pssh(pssh: str) -> bool:
    if len(pssh) >= 150:
        print(f"{RED}❌ PSSH invalide{END}")
        return False
    return True

def get_widevine_keys(pssh: str, headers: str, LICENCE_URL: str):
    wvdecrypt = WvDecrypt(init_data_b64=pssh, device=deviceconfig.device_android_generic)
    try:
        response = requests.post(LICENCE_URL, data=wvdecrypt.get_challenge(), headers=headers, timeout=10)
        response.raise_for_status()
    except requests.RequestException as e:
        print(f"{RED}Erreur licence Widevine : {e}{END}")
        return []

    wvdecrypt.update_license(b64encode(response.content))
    success, keys = wvdecrypt.start_process()
    return keys if success else []


def main():
    print_title()
    pssh = input(f"{RED}PSSH:{END} {YELLOW}").strip()
    if not validate_pssh(pssh):
        return

    token = input(f"{RED}x-Auth-Token:{END} {YELLOW}").strip()
    if not token:
        print(f"{RED}❌ Le token ne peut pas être vide{END}")
        return
    headers = {"x-Auth-Token": token}
    licence_url = "https://rtlplus-widevine.streamingtech.de/index/rtlplus"
    keys = get_widevine_keys(pssh, headers, licence_url)
    if not keys:
        print(f"{RED}❌ Aucune clé trouvée{END}")
        return

    for key in keys:
        print(f"{GREEN}--key{END} {RED}{key}{END}")

    input("\nAppuyez sur Entrée pour quitter...")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Sorry if it's in French, you'll have to translate it into English.
