Downloading from France.tv

[roelsmaarten]

This summer, France.tv is airing another season of Fort Boyard. Is there any way to download these streams?

Thanks.

The videos from france.tv are no drm protected.

You just have to use yt-dlp to download the mpd.file

for example on this page :

https://www.france.tv/france-2/fort-boyard/fort-boyard-saison-31/1861611-equipe-ecole-...rraneenne.html

yt-dlp https://cloudreplay.ftven.fr/eb6127cbc3a26/1126856253_france-domtom_TA.ism/ZXhwPTE2NTU1NTIzODV+YWNsPSUyZmViNjEyN2NiYzNhMjYlMmYxMTI2ODU2MjUzX2ZyYW5jZS1kb210b21fVEEuaXNtKn5obWFjPTA2MDlmM2Y3ZmYzMTRiY2ExNjdiYzRmZjMzMGM0MDNiZWEwM2M0ZGVmMzY5ODM5NzY2MGQ4NDE2YzhlOGE1MmM=/manifest.mpd

This works also for complete episodes?

For example https://www.france.tv/france-2/un-si-grand-soleil/un-si-grand-soleil-saison-4/3414796-...-mai-2022.html

How do I get the complete yt-dlp code for an episode?

You just have to find the mpd file (via developer tools of your browser)

yt-dlp https://cloudreplay.ftven.fr/de79c39221926/1120122492_france-domtom_TA.ism/ZXhwPTE2NTU2NjkyMzJ+YWNsPSUyZmRlNzljMzkyMjE5MjYlMmYxMTIwMTIyNDkyX2ZyYW5jZS1kb210b21fVEEuaXNtKn5obWFjPTQxMjlmNTNjNjU1N2RjZWM3MDRjZTNkNGFkYTIyNzg0ZTEwMzE1NDQ2ZjRkYzFhYTIyN2QwN2ZjYjlmOGRjYjQ=/manifest.mpd

You can also use CaptvTy for all french Replay without Drm.

I think you need to sign up for an account first.
If you don't live in France then you might need a French IP otherwise it is most probably geoblocked.
