Hi,

Seems to be a DRM protected file here : https://www.france.tv/enfants/trois-cinq-ans/mac-pat-le-chat-chanteur/6757819-emission...mbre-2024.html
MPD is here : https://cloudingest.ftven.fr/ftv/f/9e/f9e5ead9b3776/1be38a68-88d4-473b-809d-2023648633...m/manifest.mpd

Could anyone provide me the key, please ?

I did try Internet Download Manager too, which indeed worked with a VPN) - however I am as yet unable to get the French subtitles (with either approach) - which is a big part of the point - need the spoken language and French to go with it ideally!

if you have fresh nightly yt-dlp
and vpn with FR server this lines need to be working for subtitle

(with basic commands)

bestvideo + bestaudio + subtitles:

yt-dlp --no-warning --sub-langs "all" --write-subs --convert-subs "srt" -N "16" "LINK_HERE"

just subtitles:

yt-dlp --skip-download --no-warning --sub-langs "all" --write-subs --convert-subs "srt" -N "16" "LINK_HERE"

I'm trying to extract the subtitles from here: https://www.france.tv/france-4/belfort-lupin/saison-1/6985810-un-royal-mal-de-chien.html BUT when I do it gives me a separate .mp4 file I can't do anything with and if I try the above command I get a [ERROR: Preprocessing: Error opening output file: Invalid argument] message. I've tried to figure out this issue for far too long and have gone nowhere so far.

yt-dlp "https://www.france.tv/france-4/belfort-lupin/saison-1/6985810-un-royal-mal-de-chien.html" --write-sub --skip-download

[amarok94]

This doesn't work. I have to link the .mpd for it to work.

[Attachment 85906 - Click to enlarge]
But even when I use the .mpd link it gives me errors.

[Attachment 85907 - Click to enlarge]
If I don't try to convert to .srt it gives me a broken .mp4 file I can't do anything with.

[amarok94]

This is what it gives me when I list all subtitles too

Hello,
I'm a big fan of wildlife documentaries and I'd like to watch "Royaumes d'Asie" on my computer in MP4 format.
If anyone could help me by converting it and then sending me the MP4 HD file via Transfers, I would be incredibly grateful.
Here's the link: https://www.france.tv/documentaires/documentaires-animaliers/8169156-royaumes-d-asie.html
I'm not comfortable with code, though.
