Raiplay and Olympic Games

[diavolo80]

Hi everybody,
I am a beginner with all these powerful tools and I tried with success to download some videos (both with N_m3u8DL-RE and yt-dlp)... but I actually have problems with Raiplay videos from Olympic Games events. Some are downloadable (with N_m3u8DL-RE), some aren't.

In particular, I would need help with this one: https://www.raiplay.it/video/2026/02/Olimpiadi-Invernali-Milano-Cortina-2026---Hockey-...d87c6a8a7.html
I don't understand if DRM protection is sometimes stronger, or if I do something wrong.
Thanks a lot!

That's what I tried, but it gives me an error

no matter if I add or not the string you suggested. Same error, which is:
Unhandled exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: mp4decrypt not found, please download at: https://www.bento4.com/downloads/

Actually it got worse now than my previous attempts in the last days..... when at least download started, and in the end a message "failed" appeared.

I am on Windows 10. My successful attempts on other links were through Command Prompt and not Powershell (if that matters).
Just as a test, no problem with Mediaset Infinity (just to cite another italian platform).
Should I have to install that "mp4decrypt" indicated?

Thanks! I finally managed!
I missed installing ffmpeg.exe, mp4decrypt.exe and mkvmerge.exe in the same folder of N_m3u8DL-RE (I previously followed a youtube tutorial which did not mention the last two).
After doing that, I was able to download the .mkv file.
Thank you again!
