Delete your cookies, it'll work fine without them

Thanks, that worked. No idea why they were there in the first place but we carry on.

[klorgbane]

Anyone else having problems with ITV? It just sits there authenticating...

I tried replacing cookies, clearing the env cache, temp folder etc. Same issue on other computers.

@ImSp4rky

Delete your cookies, it'll work fine without them

No, it doesn't, I get the following message:
"- Error: This service requires cookies for authentication."

[iamghost]

update itv service to fixed it

https://github.com/stabbedbybrick/services/tree/main/services

Yes, I have, I'm still getting the same error message.

However, now that I have updated the ITV service, I now get this error message when using it with cookies:

  ─────────────────────────────── Service: ITV ───────────────────────────────

     Service is not Geoblocked in your region

      + Cookies for 'default' profile found, authenticating...

[Tom Saurus]

Since I updated to the newest version I am getting this:

C:\Unshackle>uv run unshackle env info
ERROR: The 'scene_naming' option has been removed.
Please configure 'output_template' in your unshackle.yaml instead.
See unshackle-example.yaml for examples.

So I tried putting this in my main.yaml:

# Set file naming convention
# Plex movies: 'The Matrix (1999) 1080p'
# Plex series: 'Breaking Bad S01E01 Pilot'
scene_naming: true

Any help is appreciated and thank you in advance. It doesn't matter what command I use I get the above and can't get any further.

Update I have now tried this and I am still not getting anywhere:

# Set terminal background color (custom option not in CONFIG.md)
set_terminal_bg: false

# Set file naming convention
# Plex movies: 'The Matrix (1999) 1080p'
# Plex series: 'Breaking Bad S01E01 Pilot'
scene_naming: true
output_template:
# Plex-friendly naming (space-separated, clean format)
# movies: '{title} ({year}) {quality}'
# series: '{title} {season_episode} {episode_name?}'
# songs: '{track_number}. {title}'

Update I got it fixed I copied and replaced what I had with that whole output template section. Now to back up this main.yaml

[sipho]

What isn't obvious is how to format the folder names for Series and Movies. I certainly don't want the whole file naming format repeated for the folder name.

I'm sure there was an edit for this but I can't remember.

[A_n_g_e_l_a]

Scene naming as an option has been removed and the following settings have been added in its place.

If you belong to a 'scene' group and download stuff you have all the bells and whistles to ring or blow.
If you just want simple name, you may choose that too. The following is the preset used in envied-working-example.yaml from TwinVine.

If you use TwinVine just git pull and then copy the section inside packages/envied/src/envied/envied-working-example (as below) to your envied.yaml. Don't copy the whole envied-working-example file as you will overwrite your sites settings, login and other details - just edit it.

 output-template:
  # Plex-friendly naming (space-separated, clean format)
    movies: '{title} ({year})'
    series: '{title} {season_episode} {episode_name?}'
    songs: '{track_number}. {title}'

I now prefer spaces in filenames, but in the template above spaces may be replaced by . or underscore if that is your preference.


The whole template should you wish

# Custom output templates for filenames
# Configure output_template in your envied.yaml to control filename format.
# If not configured, default scene-style templates are used and a warning is shown.
# Available variables: {title}, {year}, {season}, {episode}, {season_episode}, {episode_name},
#                     {quality}, {resolution}, {source}, {audio}, {audio_channels}, {audio_full},
#                     {video}, {hdr}, {hfr}, {atmos}, {dual}, {multi}, {tag}, {edition}, {repack},
#                     {lang_tag}
# Conditional variables (included only if present): Add ? suffix like {year?}, {episode_name?}, {hdr?}
# Customize the templates below:
#
# Example outputs:
# Scene movies: 'The.Matrix.1999.1080p.SERVICE.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.264-EXAMPLE'
# Scene movies (HDR): 'Dune.2021.2160p.SERVICE.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.HDR10.H.265-EXAMPLE'
# Scene movies (REPACK): 'Dune.2021.REPACK.2160p.SERVICE.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.265-EXAMPLE'
# Scene series: 'Breaking.Bad.2008.S01E01.Pilot.1080p.SERVICE.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.264-EXAMPLE'
# Plex movies: 'The Matrix (1999)'
# Plex series: 'Breaking Bad S01E01 Pilot'
output_template:
  # Scene-style naming (dot-separated)
  #movies: '{title}.{year}.{repack?}.{edition?}.{quality}.{source}.WEB-DL.{dual?}.{multi?}.{audio_full}.{atmos?}.{hdr?}.{hfr?}.{video}-{tag}'
  #series: '{title}.{year?}.{season_episode}.{episode_name?}.{repack?}.{edition?}.{quality}.{source}.WEB-DL.{dual?}.{multi?}.{audio_full}.{atmos?}.{hdr?}.{hfr?}.{video}-{tag}'
  #songs: '{track_number}.{title}.{repack?}.{edition?}.{source?}.WEB-DL.{audio_full}.{atmos?}-{tag}'
  #
  # Plex-friendly naming (space-separated, clean format)
  movies: '{title} ({year})'
  series: '{title} {season_episode} {episode_name?}'
  songs: '{track_number}. {title}'
  #
  # Minimal naming (basic info only)
  # movies: '{title}.{year}.{quality}'
  # series: '{title}.{season_episode}.{episode_name?}'
  #
  # Custom scene-style with specific elements
  # movies: '{title}.{year}.{quality}.{hdr?}.{source}.WEB-DL.{audio_full}.{video}-{tag}'
  # series: '{title}.{year?}.{season_episode}.{episode_name?}.{quality}.{hdr?}.{source}.WEB-DL.{audio_full}.{atmos?}.{video}-{tag}'

# Language-based tagging for output filenames
# Automatically adds language identifiers (e.g., DANiSH, NORDiC, DKsubs) based on
# audio and subtitle track languages. Rules are evaluated in order; first match wins.
# Use {lang_tag?} in your output_template to place the tag in the filename.
#
# Conditions (all conditions in a rule must match):
#   audio: <lang>                  - any audio track matches this language
#   subs_contain: <lang>           - any subtitle matches this language
#   subs_contain_all: [lang, ...]  - subtitles include ALL listed languages
#
# language_tags:
#   rules:
#     - audio: da
#       tag: DANiSH
#     - audio: sv
#       tag: SWEDiSH
#     - audio: nb
#       tag: NORWEGiAN
#     - audio: en
#       subs_contain_all: [da, sv, nb]
#       tag: NORDiC
#     - audio: en
#       subs_contain: da
#       tag: DKsubs

[the-equalizer]

It's also in the unshackle-example.yaml like the info says:

https://github.com/unshackle-dl/unshackle/blob/main/unshackle/unshackle-example.yaml

All you have to do if you are updating a current yaml is:

Copy and paste this from unshackle-example.yaml

output_template:
  # Scene-style naming (dot-separated)
  movies: '{title}.{year}.{repack?}.{edition?}.{quality}.{source}.WEB-DL.{dual?}.{multi?}.{audio_full}.{atmos?}.{hdr?}.{hfr?}.{video}-{tag}'
  series: '{title}.{year?}.{season_episode}.{episode_name?}.{repack?}.{edition?}.{quality}.{source}.WEB-DL.{dual?}.{multi?}.{audio_full}.{atmos?}.{hdr?}.{hfr?}.{video}-{tag}'
  songs: '{track_number}.{title}.{repack?}.{edition?}.{source?}.WEB-DL.{audio_full}.{atmos?}-{tag}'

And remove the -{tag} if you don't use them.

Or for plex:

output_template:
  # Scene-style naming (dot-separated)
  # Plex-friendly naming (space-separated, clean format)
   movies: '{title} ({year}) {quality}'
   series: '{title} {season_episode} {episode_name?}'
   songs: '{track_number}. {title}'

Then find in you current yaml:

# Set file naming convention
#  true for style - Prime.Suspect.S07E01.The.Final.Act.Part.One.1080p.ITV.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.H.264
#  false for style - Prime Suspect S07E01 The Final Act - Part One
scene_naming: true

Then either put a # before 'scene_naming: true' or delete the entire 4 lines.

It's pretty self-explanatory

[Tom Saurus]

What I prefer when it comes to naming of series is:

series name two spaces S01E01 two spaces then episode name

To me it looks better with two spaces as it is all globbed together so

The Blacklist S01E01 Pilot

That to me looks better than:

The Blacklist S01E01 Pilot

[timi]

What's going on here? Does anyone know how to fix this?

[deccavox]

I am concerned that we are getting into the realms of discussing premium subscription sites, like the above post (if I'm wrong then I do apologise). At the top of every page: 'Please don't discuss paid subscription services!'. If this is not adhered to, there is a danger we could lose what we have here and that affects everybody. If you have such a query, discuss it in private with a member who may be able to help you.
Thank you.

[iamghost]

What's going on here? Does anyone know how to fix this?

ask dev from other site(look like you already ask vetran?), paid service is never post on vh only free to air services

That is interesting; thanks for your response. I probably won't bother with the show I played a little bit of one episode and it is probably going to be too brutal for me. It reminds me of "Luther", I only watched one episode and it was so violent I was too squemish to watch the rest. I guess that explains why I don't watch Slasher movies. I had nightmares watching some Edge of Night episodes when I was growing up. Hopefully whatever this issue it is gets corrected as the program evolves and doesn't effect many other TV series or movies.

Thank you for this information.

Anyone having a problem with CBS. It seems to be getting just the first eight minutes or so of an episode not the entire thing. It shows it is succeeding but when you check the video you are not getting an entire episode.

I got it with Envied and watched the episode and no problems. However the incomplete video issue may spread to Envied and Angela wrote that Envied will no longer be updated. Thank you on behalf of those who need to get that episode.

The same issue when using devine)
Unshackle downloaded the whole video, but I'm using an old version—2.1.0—I'm too lazy to update))

[kev043]

Hi Stabby, HBO MAX releases today in the UK, would it be possible to make a service for that? I do remember you saying it's pretty much identical to the latest DSCP service and you can edit some of the code to make it work so I might have a go at doing that.

Cheers Stabby for you continued support to keep the services up to date.

I'm also having this problem with CBS, but on a different show. Tried it with Unshackle and Envied. Same result both times. Ended up with a ~3 minute video instead of the full episode.

One of us needs to raise this issue over at at stabbedbybrick's website and if it is a service issue he may be able remedy it; in regard to CBS.

As for HBO/Max that is a premium service and stabbedbybrick does not address those services and it is against the rules so please don't openly ask about such services going forward. Perhaps you can private message someone or maybe there is another forum somewhere that can help with that issue.

I want to write once again thank you all for the help you give me here at VideoHelp. I appreciate it very much. I hope I help others along the way as well.

ok for you to download, what about playing video? playing full or cut to 8 mins

[SomeDingus]

I'm trying to download the 5 most recent episodes of The Young & The Restless from CBS. Of the 5 freely available episodes, only s53e116 downloads complete. The other 4 all end up as partial videos.

I suspect I must have something configured wrong, or installed wrong, but I don't understand why it works for 1 out of 5 videos.

Here's an example output from Unshackle and from Envied. Both produce the same video, which is about 3 and a half minutes long. (*edit:* just realized this is when the first commercial break happens, at 3 and a half minutes. Not sure if that's relevant.)
