    Hi,

    I used to download from D*ZN regularly with no issue but recently something has changed.

    I can get all info from WidevineProxy2 but it fails after around 5 mins which I am lead to believe is due to the token having a short life.

    For example..

    https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/home/8u6siylpztnw1arw575mx0er6

    Previously I would have used..

    Code:
    N_m3u8DL-RE "https://dcb-ac-vod.cdn.indazn.com/gws1a7fv7e4m1cyghzt30ixgu/web/stream.mpd?channel=3937&outlet=dazn-row&plang=en&dazn-token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCIsImtpZCI6InV1aWRfMSJ9.eyJwYXRocyI6WyIvZ3dzMWE3ZnY3ZTRtMWN5Z2h6dDMwaXhndSJdLCJleGMiOltdLCJoZWFkZXJzIjpbInVzZXItYWdlbnQiXSwiY28iOnRydWUsImlwIjpmYWxzZSwiYXNuIjpbIjUzNzgiXSwiaW50c2lnIjoib3hZOEpLX3Nvbk1HTWdtLXphNlRjSWRYQUFkdEpxbHNpMlYzU0pmU21tdyIsImlhdCI6MTc4MDkyMzk0MSwiZXhwIjoxNzgwOTI0MjQxfQ.UwKPrOeJa6ZWCHiziDqbyOUFY1PnX_SChMfa5R8dwWA" -H "Accept: */*" -H "DNT: 1" -H "Origin: https://www.dazn.com" -H "Referer: https://www.dazn.com/" -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/148.0.0.0 Safari/537.36" --append-url-params --key cfb5e2b73bef4f3c878f25ab86a7451f:0d6712bf2a84edcc93d001a9613f6fec -M format=mkv
    But as mentioned it fails after around 5 mins with a "Response status code does not indicate success: 401 (Forbidden 683)" error.

    Any help greatly appreciated

    You have to add --append-url-params to your command to download DAZN videos. If you dont add, you will have a 401 error.

    If you bothered to look at his command, he is already using --append-url-params

    He is asking about how to solve the short lived token issue.

    That link seems to be a live event that has already finished. Do you have the VOD link?

    I'm pretty sure that that is a VOD event, in the code is has 'https://dcb-ac-vod.cdn.indazn.com/' which I presume is Video On Demand..

    Here's another from a week or so ago..

    To me, appears the same message, explaining that is a live video and has ended already, so it is not viewable anymore.

    Can you watch the video? could you upload a screenshoot watching it?

    They play fine for me, but only after disabling WidevineProxy2..

  9. Then is a geo-located or under subscription video. I cannot view it, it appears the message i told before.

    EDIT: that is a premium content video, i cannot help you. Searching it through google, i can access to the dazn page, but i cannot see the video

    I noticed while playing around with this I get a different manifest for the same video depending on browser, for example with..

    https://www.dazn.com/en-US/home/iwpkvcuar36y1mvpdd5z7j3se

    Firefox I get..
    /dcb-fs-vod-dazn-cdn.dazn.com/1fe0b69v3mcr11hbapmxqxu4yz/web/stream.mpd...

    Edge I get..
    pubads.g.doubleclick.net/ondemand/dash/content/2538524/vid/804880a010c7a8da8a3449c0f32b4519/CHS/streams/36a7832a-40ce-4e74-a347-1a5244b99160/manifest.mpd..

    Does this have any bearing on it?

    Both give me the same "Response status code does not indicate success: 401 (Forbidden 683)" error after 5 mins or so into the download.

    Use an ad blocker and you wont get this type manifest url
    e.g. uBlock Origin by Raymond Hill

    In Firefox you should get something like this:

    Code:
    https://dcb-fs-vod-dazn-cdn.dazn.com/1fe0b69v3mcr11hbapmxqxu4yz/web/stream.mpd?channel=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    And the reason it 401's is because - as already discussed - the token lasts 300 seconds

    Have you tried to restart the download using a fresh token? You have to rename the file using --save-name "NameYouSelectHere". When the 401 error appears, close the download using ctrl+c. Then, go to dazn, reload the video to get a fresh token, come back to N_m3u8-RE and use the same name that used before to continue the download.

    Many thanks Asdfgf, that worked!

    Would be great if the process could be automated as it can take some time and refreshes to complete a 10GB+ DL.

    Again, thanks for everyone's help.
