N_m3u8dl-RE not working under linux

[nstuffed]

hello, i can't understand why the following command:

N_m3u8DL-RE <amzn-mpd-url> -H <various-headers> --key <key1> --key <key2> --key <key3> --use-shaka-packager -M format=mkv

works perfectly under windows, but gives me 403 error under linux (obviously tools are same versions).
note: command is generated by WidevineProxy2 firefox addon.
thanks for help.

Did you copy the command from Windows to your Linux console? Or did you generate the command on the same Linux machine where you used it? I guess it's a mismatch in headers and ip address used (just a guess).

thank you for reply.
tried in several ways: 1) generate on windows and paste it into wsl does not work; 2) generate on linux and paste into terminal does not work; 3) generate on windows and paste into command prompt does work.

Personal experience: when I download from WidevineProxy2 addon firefox, in the Linux terminal i add "./" so the command becomes "./N_m3u8DL-RE ......." otherwise it won't download. Try it...

can you show the generated command from both OS?

[nstuffed]

sure.
following is linux generated (gives 403 forbidden error):

N_m3u8DL-RE "https://***file.mpd?parameters" -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:152.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/152.0" -H "Accept: */*" -H "Referer: https://www.p****video.com/" -H "Origin: https://www.p****video.com" --key ***:*** --key ***:*** --key ***:*** --use-shaka-packager -M format=mkv

and the following is windows generated (working):

N_m3u8DL-RE "https://***file.mpd?parameters" -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:153.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/153.0" -H "Accept: */*" -H "Referer: https://www.p****video.com/" -H "Origin: https://www.p****video.com" --key ***:*** --key ***:*** --key ***:*** --use-shaka-packager -M format=mkv

SOLVED.
in linux MUST use single quote (') instead of double (") in main url, as:

N_m3u8DL-RE 'https://***file.mpd?parameters' -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0...

I guess it's because special chars like & and ?

[Obo]

Yes, but & and ? don't have a special meaning within double quotes. It's more likely the $ that changed your command.
