You can find instructions in the DSCP script on how to convert. It's very easy, you basically just have to replace a few words.Originally Posted by kev043

As for CBS, the incomplete videos is mostly an Unshackle issue. You can work around it for now by using n_m3u8dl_re as downloader, or pulling the feature branch called "unified-downloader" from the official github repo. The possible downside by doing that is other services might break due to core changes having been made. It's getting pretty hard to keep up with all the updates, so I haven't personally tested anything yet.

Hi Stabby, thanks for the info, I did follow your instructions to change DSCP to MAX and did have some success but when I used the command to download a series it game me a mix of 720p and 1080p I'll try it again tomorrow and double check I changed all the code correctly.Originally Posted by stabbedbybrick

Thank you! My wife will be happy to have these episodesOriginally Posted by ListyDoM
Thank you as well! I'll give that "unified-downloader" a try, since CBS is really the only service I use this for.Originally Posted by stabbedbybrick

That is correct depending on the show they only have 720p for h.264 if you look at h.265 they have 1080Originally Posted by kev043

Cheers for the info PSXman, is there a specific command to download a series in 1080p h265 please? I'm about bit rusty on the command for that.
Thanks I appreciate the help. -
Hi. I've a few questions:
- What're hydration tracks on netflix ?
- What are the factors that make it possible to obtain it ?, vice versa.
- Could you give an example of how to obtain it ?, i.e. nf id: 82157128 (vt & unshackle).

# downloader:
# CBS: n_m3u8dl_re
I am not sure Unshackle accepted that. Should I do something in the CBS config file? I got several episodes downloaded file with the full time length and on the newest aired episode it was only ten minutes or so long. Thank you in advance for any guidance.

Thank you for your kindness. That line of code I wrote about is that one puts in the .yaml to make sure it used N_m3u8DL-RE as the downloader?Originally Posted by ListyDoM

I took a look at my Envied main.yaml and I noticed that when it comes to downloader for data that it had n_m3u8dl_re. Maybe that is why it is getting the CBS videos in their entirety. This using my brain stuff is exhausting but who knows with practice?

So from this your default is aria2c because you have everything else commented out with the "#" as sipho pointed out.Originally Posted by Tom Saurus

Just remove the "#" each time you need to switch between n_m3u8dl_re or aria2c as your downloader

Has anyone have issues downloading some miniseries documentary titles off from CBC Gem?
For example I can't grab Bad Nanny (2-episode miniseries) which CBC only says "Parts" instead of "Episodes", which is why it can't be downloaded plus Bad Nanny seems to be DRM protected (for selected titles only) according to yt-dlp.
I do hope stabbedbybrick would update this.Code:uv run unshackle dl -w s01e01 CBC https://gem.cbc.ca/bad-nanny/s01e01 ▄ ▄▌ ▐ ▄ .▄▄ · ▄ .▄ ▄▄▄· ▄▄· ▄ ▄ ▄▄▌ ▄▄▄ . █▪██▌█▌▐█▐█ ▀. ██▪▐█▐█ ▀█ ▐█ ▌▪█▌▄▌▪██ ▀▄.▀· █▌▐█▌▐█▐▐▌▄▀▀▀█▄██▀▐█▄█▀▀█ ██ ▄▄▐▀▀▄·██▪ ▐▀▀▪▄ ▐█▄█▌██▐█▌▐█▄▪▐███▌▐▀▐█ ▪▐▌▐███▌▐█.█▌▐█▌▐▌▐█▄▄▌ ▀▀▀ ▀▀ █▪ ▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀ · ▀ ▀ ·▀▀▀ ·▀ ▀.▀▀▀ ▀▀▀ v 4.0.0 - © 2025-2026 - github.com/unshackle-dl/unshackle Service Config loaded Loaded 0/0 Vaults Loaded Widevine CDM: 22589 (L3) ─────────────────────────────── Service: CBC ─────────────────────────────── Service is not Geoblocked in your region + Using cached tokens Authenticated with Service No episodes found for: Bad Nanny No titles returned, nothing to download...

Edit services/CBC/__init__.py
Add
to line 156 as in the image below. and save the file.Code:, "parts"
[Attachment 91884 - Click to enlarge]
The files are then treated as a Movie and downloaded using episode names as the "movie' titles. Not perfect but minimal coding to get a fix.Last edited by A_n_g_e_l_a; 10th Apr 2026 at 15:07.

I've pushed a proper CBC update for envied users.
[Attachment 91886 - Click to enlarge]
to the TwinVine suite on github https://github.com/vinefeeder/TwinVine
Now the CBC episode title is written and downloaded correctly for media that announce 'parts' rather than episodes.
I imagine SBB will do similar for unshackle.Noob Starter Pack. Just download any Widevine media! Over 25,000 downloads for V6!.
