  1. Following a recent overhaul of the france.tv "replay" streaming platform, I just tested a patched youtube-dl repository – it works.

    Question is, there are two distinct sets of streams, even though there is now only one link on the corresponding JSON page (there used to be two), ending with .../manifest.mpd. (I can get the JSON page from the "videoid" code contained in the HTML web page, through this URL.) How come ? I'm still confused as to what exactly DASH and HLS are, and what either of those protocols should look like in practice. In this case, if I get the actual / complete / working stream link through this URL, and run youtube-dl -F with it, it is recognized as DASH :
    Code:
    youtube-dl -F "https://cloudreplay.ftven.fr/61a1a2a088416/1038281316_monde_TA.ism/manifest.mpd?hdnea=exp=1632849649~acl=%2f61a1a2a088416%2f1038

    Then if that is DASH, how can the HLS stream be retrieved from there ?
    And is there any reason to choose one over the other ? One thing I noticed is that the download in DASH seems quite slow, especially for the audio part ; normally it should be very quick to download, but it seems to get throttled somehow (for the above video it took about 6min to download a 37MB audio stream, even though the displayed download rate seemed to max out the connection at about 1MB/s).
    And with youtube-dl (regardless of the fact that it now seems to be a dead project), is there a way to auto select the best available stream in either DASH or HLS, even if the specific identification code changes ?

    Another question : even though the patched youtube-dl works through Python, it is not as convenient as a standalone EXE file ; how can I compile the Python directory as a single EXE file ? I managed to do it earlier with yt-dlp (which is still actively developped but hasn't had a recent update for the france.tv platform) with a simple "py pyinst.py" command, but that other directory doesn't have a similar pyinst.py file and I couldn't find specific instructions for a Windows install.

  2. HLS & DASH:

    Both are separate Video+ Audio streams and different bitrates automatically adapt (thats the A(daptive) in DASH) to your internet speed to only allow a bitrate of a quality that your bandwidth can cope with for viewing - not ripping.

    HLS predates DASH by many years and is not recognised as any sort of standard and doesn't have to comply with anything. Its just a file split up into many pieces thrown at you normally via an .m3u8, piecemeal, from a server usually in H.264 format as a combined .ts (transportable stream) format container for the V+A. Filter url in DevTools for m3u8 and DL as.ts with Streamlink.

    DASH is an industry compliant format (the first one to gain that status in fact) and is also able to be encrypted by Widevine or Playready. HLS isn't. More usually thrown at you thru via an .mpd in mp4 format for the video, and m4a format for the audio.

    (There are many other variations of course).

    The reason the france.tv will supply both is to be backward compliant with as many different hardware devices as possible for its subscribers.

    So in conclusion if its best quality you want - for example in your first format listing - the 720p HLS stream Video hls-2218 (2218k) is actually higher bitrate than the DASH Video (dash-video=2000000) which is 2000k.

    yt-dlp -f hls-2218+m4a --external-downloader aria2c --no-check-certificate --cookies-from-browser firefox --merge-output-formats mkv "mpd-url"
    aria2c for windows
    https://github.com/aria2/aria2/releases

    and ffmpeg (full 106mb version) in same folder as yt-dlp
    https://www.mediafire.com/file/mv3ffex88q6z3ef/ffmpeg.exe/file

    substitute your browser name for firefox if using a different one (lowercase)

  3. Thanks for the concise yet thorough explanation regarding those protocols.
    One part of the question was : how does one (person of software) get the HLS content from the single provided link, ending with .../manifest.mpd, which appears to be a DASH link ? When downloading with youtube-dl and the option --dump-pages, I get these files :
    Code:
    6d5fa392-6959-48a5-8362-c7d0143dc8a6_https_-_hdfauthftv-a.akamaihd.net_esi_TAurl=https%3A%2F%2Fcloudreplay.ftven.fr%2F61a1a2a088416%2F1038281316_monde_TA.ism%2Fmanifest.mpd.dump
    6d5fa392-6959-48a5-8362-c7d0143dc8a6_https_-_hdfauthftv-a.akamaihd.net_esi_TAurl=https%3A%2F%2Fcloudreplay.ftven.fr%2F61a1a2a088416%2F1038281316_monde_TA.ism%2Fmaster.m3u8.dump
    So the HLS link would be obtained simply by replacing "manifest.mpd" by "master.m3u8", is that right ? How is one (person or software) supposed to know that, based on the information available in the JSON page ?

    Then : I downloaded both versions of the same video (the one mentioned above as an example) at the highest available resolution (by the way, as of now it doesn't require cookies / login, but there may be some kind of geo-blocking protection), it turns out that the video bitrate is actually almost identical, even though the individual video-only files have significantly different sizes, most likely due to a significantly different container overhead. But there's a problem in the final MP4 file generated from the HLS download, with ffmpeg doing the video+audio merging : the audio is cut short at 6min48s. I had already noticed that issue earlier when those videos were available in two versions named "m3u8-download" and "hls_v5_os", and by default youtube-dl picked the latter (since its default selection is equivalent to "-f bestvideo+bestaudio", which corresponds to separated video and audio streams, whereas the "m3u8-download" version was a single video+audio stream) : the resulting file would always have the audio cut at 6min48s, regardless of the total duration of the video. Does this ring a bell, is this a known issue with either youtube-dl, ffmpeg, or the HLS protocol ? Apparently youtube-dl doesn't allow TS among the possible output formats (although when downloading the "m3u8-download" version of a video, it would record to a temporary file with a .mp4 extension that was actually a TS file – I checked with WinHex and MediaInfo – then at the end automatically remux it to an actual MP4 file).
    Also there are inconsistencies with regards to the average / maximum bitrates. From MediaInfo : dash-video=2000000 : 729MB, global average bitrate 1967kbps, average video bitrate 1966kbps, max video bitrate 4189kbps identified as "iso6/dash", duration misidentified as 9min0s ; hls-2218 : 753MB, global bitrate 2034kbps, average video bitrate 1934kbps, max video bitrate 1965kbps, identified as "MPEG-TS", duration correctly identified as 51min48s ; MP4 merged from DASH download : 766MB, average video bitrate 1966kbps, complete audio stream ; MP4 merged from HLS download : 734MB, average video bitrate 1967kbps, audio stream truncated at 6min48s (see below for MediaInfo details if needed). This, even though the actual video / audio content is virtually identical (if, using xdelta, I compress the 729MB file from the merged HLS download with the 766MB file from the DASH download as reference, the resulting .diff file has a size of 721KB, meaning that very little data is required to re-create the former from the latter).
    If I merge the DASH streams with mp4box, I get a 765MB MP4 file with : average bitrate 1966kbps, max video bitrate 3914kbps, audio bitrate identified as "variable" (for both files generated with ffmpeg the audio bitrate is identified as "constant"). If I try to merge the HLS streams with mp4box, I get a gazillion of error lines and it FAILS MISEBARLY. What gives ?

    Then why are you suggesting aria2c ? What can it do that youtube-dl or yt-dlp can't ? What about Streamlink ? (Based on the description it is primarily meant to "pipe video streams from various services into a video player", so downloading doesn't seem to be its raison d'être.) Currently with the patched youtube-dl all I have to provide is the base web page URL, and it automatically retrieves the video links, which is much more convenient than having to dig the required information through the browser, or by dumping 1) the web page 2) the JSON page 3) the complete manifest.mpd link.

    Another question was : with youtube-dl or yt-dlp, are there ways to automatically select the best available stream from a specific protocol, or with a specific keyword in its identification code ? In this case for instance, the best quality HLS video stream is named "hls-2218", but for another video it might be "hls-2224" or "hls-2215" – can I tell it to select the best HLS version, or the best DASH version, without having to list all available formats with -F and then type the specific identification code for the one I want ?

    And yet another question regarding the subtitles : before the subtitles were available as standalone VTT or TTML files. Now the corresponding links have disappeared from the JSON pages, and it would seem like the subtitles are embedded within the video streams. The patched youtube-dl manages to retrieve the subtitles, but it takes much longer to parse all the fragments and whatnot. Yet the software Captvty still manages to download the subtitles in a split second from that same platform. How come ?

  4. Then why are you suggesting aria2c ? What can it do that youtube-dl or yt-dlp can't ?
    It works in conjunction with the mother program and speeds downloads up 10 fold. If you want to spend an hour downloading something that can be downloaded in less than 10 minutes - lose the aria2c code. Your decision.

    What about Streamlink ? (Based on the description it is primarily meant to "pipe video streams from various services into a video player", so downloading doesn't seem to be its raison d'être.)
    The original intention was to pipe to a player - now the primary usage is to download to an output format. Its an excellent program but similar to yt-dl it will not download DRM.

    But yt-dlp will.

    Another question was : with youtube-dl or yt-dlp, are there ways to automatically select the best available stream from a specific protocol
    There is yes, but both programs differ wildly in their default selection criteria for 'best'. They are not similar in this respect whatsoever. Read the docs.

    https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp#differences-in-default-behavior

    Personally I never use this method and leave selection to chance - I nominate / name my video+audio selection formats.

    Apparently youtube-dl doesn't allow TS among the possible output formats
    It does:

    Code:
    --hls-use-mpegts

    Alright, alright ! Didn't say I didn't want to use it, only asked for a valid reason to use it, no need to be harsh...

    Personally I never use this method and leave selection to chance - I nominate / name my video+audio selection formats.
    For YouTube videos for instance I do the same, as every video has different formats available and the outcome of an automatic selection is rather unpredictable, but in a case like this, when regularly downloading the same broadcasts from the same platform proposing consistently the same formats, I figure that it can be safe to automate and do the download with a script.
    The integrated guide with youtube-dl is rather sparse on that aspect, and barely mentions advanced tricks which I've seen suggested on this forum (here for instance), it's quite difficult to come up with a working syntax based on the provided information.
    Code:
        --match-filter FILTER            Generic video filter. Specify any key (see
                                         the "OUTPUT TEMPLATE" for a list of
                                         available keys) to match if the key is
                                         present, !key to check if the key is not
                                         present, key > NUMBER (like "comment_count
                                         > 12", also works with >=, <, <=, !=, =) to
                                         compare against a number, key = 'LITERAL'
                                         (like "uploader = 'Mike Smith'", also works
                                         with !=) to match against a string literal
                                         and & to require multiple matches. Values
                                         which are not known are excluded unless you
                                         put a question mark (?) after the operator.
                                         For example, to only match videos that have
                                         been liked more than 100 times and disliked
                                         less than 50 times (or the dislike
                                         functionality is not available at the given
                                         service), but who also have a description,
                                         use --match-filter "like_count > 100 &
                                         dislike_count <? 50 & description" .
    It does: / --hls-use-mpegts
    Well then the integrated guide is confusing :
    Code:
        --merge-output-format FORMAT     If a merge is required (e.g.
                                         bestvideo+bestaudio), output to given
                                         container format. One of mkv, mp4, ogg,
                                         webm, flv. Ignored if no merge is required

    Sorry if that came over as harsh. I have no idea how saying 'your decision' could be interpreted as harsh, though. Its personal preference whether you want to use it or not.

    Have you any issues with this france.tv still ? If so, which video ? And what format do you want it in ? I'll be glad to help.

  7. Well, I tried to get aria2(c), but got stuck right there :
    Cross-compiling Windows binary

    In this section, we describe how to build a Windows binary using a mingw-w64 (http://mingw-w64.org/doku.php) cross-compiler on Debian Linux. The MinGW (http://www.mingw.org/) may not be able to build aria2.

    The easiest way to build Windows binary is use Dockerfile.mingw. See Dockerfile.mingw how to build binary. If you cannot use Dockerfile, then continue to read following paragraphs.

    Basically, after compiling and installing depended libraries, you can do cross-compile just passing appropriate --host option and specifying CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS and PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR variables to configure. For convenience and lowering our own development cost, we provide easier way to configure the build settings.

    mingw-config script is a configure script wrapper for mingw-w64. We use it to create official Windows build. This script assumes following libraries have been built for cross-compile:

    c-ares
    expat
    sqlite3
    zlib
    libssh2
    cppunit

    Some environment variables can be adjusted to change build settings:

    HOST
    cross-compile to build programs to run on HOST. It defaults to i686-w64-mingw32. To build 64bit binary, specify x86_64-w64-mingw32.
    PREFIX
    Prefix to the directory where dependent libraries are installed. It defaults to /usr/local/$HOST. -I$PREFIX/include will be added to CPPFLAGS. -L$PREFIX/lib will be added to LDFLAGS. $PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig will be set to PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR.

    For example, to build 64bit binary do this:

    $ HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32 ./mingw-config

    If you want libaria2 dll with --enable-libaria2, then don't use ARIA2_STATIC=yes and prepare the DLL version of external libraries.
    Sorry but this seems awfully complicated, and I have already more than enough complicated things to think about.
    Is there a pre-compliled Windows executable available somewhere ?


    The original intention was to pipe to a player - now the primary usage is to download to an output format. Its an excellent program but similar to yt-dl it will not download DRM.
    Then perhaps it would be time to update the description on the dedicated page in VideoHelp's download section.


    Have you any issues with this france.tv still ? If so, which video ? And what format do you want it in ? I'll be glad to help.
    I still have issues with any video from this platform because 1) there is a working extractor patch for youtube-dl but youtube-dl itself is no longer developped so it's a dead end ; 2) the patch is currently being adapted for yt-dlp but hasn't yet been merged with the main repository (if that's the correct terminology) ; downloading videos in DASH is slow (I'm definitely eager to try aria2c, but as I said above, merely getting it to work adds yet another layer of complexity to the whole thing), downloading videos in HLS is unreliable because of that truncated audio issue ; downloading subtitles is slow no matter what (Captvty manages to retrieve properly formatted subtitles in a split second, don't know how, I asked here, got no satisfying reply).
    The goal is merely to get regular MP4 files + subtitles, as before, as reliably as possible (as I already mentioned I've had reliability issues when downloading from this platform, had to download every video at least twice and usually at least three times until I got two identical non corrupted files ; at least one person confirmed having the same issue ; Captvty doesn't seem to have that problem, but the problem with Captvty is that it downloads to TS container, and for some reason those TS files can't be converted properly to MP4 in one step, if using ffmpeg there's always a glitch at the end, and mp4box chokes on them, no such issues when merging the elementary streams downloaded in DASH with youtube-dl / yt-dlp).

    You need aria2c for Windows, already compiled. Scroll down the page a little way and you will see the 2 Windows flavours for the latest release 1.36.0, x86 and x64, select the correct one for your windows version.
    https://github.com/aria2/aria2/releases

    Unzip, and put the .exe. in the same folder as yt-dlp.exe and ffmpeg.exe

    Is your ffmpeg a cropped down version ? It needs to be the full version ~107 mb

    Post back a VOD you require (or PM me). Lets get this sorted out.

    Sorry I missed that... (But the full-blown instructions for compiling on the main page are a bit confusing and a bit off-putting as a nearly newbie.)

    Regarding ffmpeg, I do have the full build of the most recent version I could find (2021/04/09) which is indeed about 107MB{1} in a folder called “CLI” which I put in Windows' PATH (so I can put all CLI utilities I use regularly in that one folder and avoid doing it all over again for each new one), but since there are many other versions scattered all over the place, it's rather unpredictable which one will actually be called into action. Recently I found out that when I type “ffmpeg” the version being executed is not the one in “CLI”, but a 2019 version (v. 4.2.3 as can be seen in the logs below) located in “C:\Program Files\ImageMagick\” — yet another SNAFU to take into account. So I renamed that newer version as “ffmpeg64.exe”, and normally that's the one executed when I type “ffmpeg64”, but this might not be what youtube-dl or yt-dlp expects — and since I'm currently using the patched youtube-dl through a Python command (with the complete path to the “__main__.py” file — see the full command below), I'm not even sure what “putting it in the same folder” means.
    What specific component does the full version have which is required here and is missing in “cropped down” builds ?
    Generally speaking, how does Windows (or whichever specific component of Windows managing the operation of command line utilities) decide which of several versions of the same executable with the same name all present in the “PATH” will get executed when the complete path is not specified in the command ? Are there rules like “by alphabetic order”, or “by path depth”, or is there a specific sorting order, with for instance “Windows” or “Program files” folders being parsed first, or does it depend upon the order in which folders are listed in the “PATH” settings, with system variables superseding user defined variables ?

    {1} Precisely : size = 112424960 / MD5 = 544FF37775A43DAAF30A7731FEC87BFE.


    For testing purposes, this one should be suitable — short duration, should be available about a month :
    https://www.france.tv/france-5/la-p-tite-librairie/2781809-kim-par-rudyard-kilpling.html
    Another one which should also be available about a month, with a longer duration, to investigate that truncated audio issue :
    https://www.france.tv/france-5/c-dans-l-air/2781807-emission-du-vendredi-1-octobre-2021.html


    Another weirdness I discovered : when the HLS stream gets downloaded automatically by youtube-dl (with the patched extractor), the audio is truncated after 6min48s as I already reported. But when the same HLS stream is downloaded manually (with youtube-dl's last official release from 2021/06/06), the audio track is complete. Apparently, when fed directly with a HLS link, youtube-dl downloads the elementary streams through ffmpeg, as MP4, and those streams can then be merged with no issue. When youtube-dl does the fetching / extraction process by itself, it downloads the elementary streams through another method, as TS / ADTS, and then the merged file has this issue with the audio track.

    – download with .html link, using youtube-dl patched extractor (with “-f bestvideo+bestaudio” setting which selects the HLS stream rather than the DASH stream most likely because the apparent bitrate is slightly higher as I reported above) :

    [EDIT]
    I made another test with a HLS link, adding the option --hls-prefer-native : this time the files (V & A streams and merged MP4) are strictly identical to the ones obtained with the automated download (with the .html link) using the patched extractor (audio is truncated at 6min48s), which means that this is the default setting in that case. Conversely, using --hls-prefer-ffmpeg should fix the truncated audio issue with automated HLS downloads (as it is mentioned here).

  10. I have given my advice in a post above. But you are still persisting with an abandoned project in youtube-dl and not only that but a hacked version too.

    yt-dlp is not youtube-dl

    As for ffmpeg I wouldn't know what has been left out, you had better ask the person you got it off.

    And it seems you are calling all sorts of outdated versions of apps from all over the place.

    Do you really need help making a folder? You need to call your cmd prompt from within the new folder you have all the required apps in by clearing the address bar and typing cmd into the address bar and hitting Enter (return key). Then you know you are working directly with all the correct apps in one place.

    I am out tonight so answering on cell phone. I can look at the vod tomorrow. Plus if this is basic HLS it may even be better with streamlink.

    As I said, the france.tv extractor is being adapted for yt-dlp but hasn't been merged yet, so for now I make do with what's available.
    Part of the issue (before the actual download) is to retrieve the video links — I know how to do it manually, but it's very tedious to do it on a regular basis, so an automated method is much preferred. Right now, the france.tv extractor in yt-dlp is as broken as the one in youtube-dl, that's why I'm temporarily using this “hacked” version. (In a way all these tools can be considered as “hacks”, so I don't get that criticism.)

    And it seems you are calling all sorts of outdated versions of apps from all over the place.
    Not so long ago youtube-dl was considered a state-of-the-art application with an extremely active development community. Everything gets outdated so quickly these days...
    As for ffmpeg : nothing intentional, I recently installed ImageShack, which included its own copy of ffmpeg, which happens to be version 4.2.3 from 2019, and I later found out that, when typing a command with “ffmpeg” (no complete path), this version was executed instead of the more recent one I intentionally put in the “PATH”.

    Do you really need help making a folder? You need to call your cmd prompt from within the new folder you have all the required apps in by clearing the address bar and typing cmd into the address bar and hitting Enter (return key).

    No, what I meant here was : since currently (for lack of a compiled executable) I run youtube-dl through a Python command pointing to the “__main__.py” file in the “hacked” youtube-dl folder, and since that folder is a quite complex structure with 24 folders and 1762 files, I'm not sure where in that hierarchy the ffmpeg.exe file should be put for it to work properly with both youtube-dl and aria2c. Another option would be to compile a patched youtube-dl.exe (or yt-dlp.exe) myself, but I don't know how to do that without clear instructions (which I requested but didn't get).
    (By the way I didn't know about the “typing cmd in the adress bar” trick. I knew an equivalent trick which is : from the parent folder, right-click on the target folder's icon while pressing SHIFT, then click on the extra contextual menu item “open a command prompt window here”. A “CD” command works as well. Another method is to create a script and put it in the target folder.)

    Plus if this is basic HLS it may even be better with streamlink.
    Again, what would be the advantage in using Streamlink over youtube-dl / yt-dlp ? I just tested it with one of the base HTML links above : apparently it does have a specific extractor for this platform (which used to be called “Pluzz”), but as for the other two, it's currently outdated.
    Code:
    streamlink https://www.france.tv/france-5/la-p-tite-librairie/2781809-kim-par-rudyard-kilpling.html
