[starzplay] I have everything yet video doesn't work

hi

This issue frequently occurs with videos that begin with advertisements

I face this issue
Code:
Non-monotonic DTS; This may result in incorrect timestamps in the output file
Tried with widevineproxy2 and failed, but with videos that doesn't start with ads works fine

Here is the link
https://starzplay.com/en/watch/movies/king-kong/740203048112

This site is partially paid, the content I need is FREE for everyone (no need of an account)

Appreciate any help guys

I use this application to download, but it's up to you to configure the format to use in the command.

Check if you have the latest ffmpeg update, N_m3u8DL-RE ...ETC and try again, you should no longer have this message regarding audio & video conversion.

Here's the Python code to get the latest ffmpeg update:

Code:

import requests
import zipfile
import os
import shutil
import sys

url = "https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/releases/latest/download/ffmpeg-master-latest-win64-gpl.zip"

tools_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
zip_path = os.path.join(tools_path, "ffmpeg.zip")

# --- Download with progress ---
print("Downloading FFmpeg...")

response = requests.get(url, stream=True)
response.raise_for_status()

total_size = int(response.headers.get('content-length', 0))
chunk_size = 8192
downloaded = 0

with open(zip_path, "wb") as f:
    for chunk in response.iter_content(chunk_size=chunk_size):
        if chunk:
            f.write(chunk)
            downloaded += len(chunk)
            if total_size > 0:
                percent = downloaded * 100 // total_size
                # Overwrite line in console
                sys.stdout.write(f"\rProgress: {percent}%")
                sys.stdout.flush()

print("\nDownload completed.")

# --- Extract ffmpeg.exe ---
print("Extracting ffmpeg.exe...")
with zipfile.ZipFile(zip_path) as z:
    ffmpeg_zip_path = None
    for name in z.namelist():
        if name.endswith("bin/ffmpeg.exe"):
            z.extract(name, tools_path)
            ffmpeg_zip_path = name
            break

if not ffmpeg_zip_path:
    raise RuntimeError("ffmpeg.exe not found in the ZIP")

src = os.path.join(tools_path, ffmpeg_zip_path)
dst = os.path.join(tools_path, "ffmpeg.exe")
os.replace(src, dst)

print("Extraction completed.")

# --- Cleanup ---
top_folder = ffmpeg_zip_path.split("/")[0]
shutil.rmtree(os.path.join(tools_path, top_folder), ignore_errors=True)
os.remove(zip_path)

print("Cleanup completed.")
print(f"FFmpeg is ready: {dst}")

After z1269925944’s help, I looked into the network traffic for that MPD and found it inside the streamingurls link, which was hidden in the response,
once you have that link, you can extract its JSON and find the MPD URL using a script like z1269925944, or any other method you prefer
BTW this approach is especially useful for videos with ads and for non-ad videos the correct MPD link is usually visible directly in the network traffic,
I learned a lot from both z1269925944 (how to dig deeper in the Network tab) and sesamap159 (how to update certain binaries easily with scripts)
Thanks to everyone and I hope this helps someone else as well

I only got these 3 urls and tried them all & failed
Code:
url1: https://licensing.bitmovin.com/licensing
url2: https://analytics-ingress-global.bitmovin.com/licensing
url3: https://licensing.bitmovin.com/impression
Would you please let me know what's the correct license url!
I tried https://widevine-license.vudrm.tech/proxy as well but no keys yet

thanks for your time

can you please have a look at the url

it would be really helpful if you could find that license url wiith x-vudrm-token
