The hidive website has cartoons that can be watched free. For example:
https://www.hidive.com/stream/when-they-cry/s01e001
Tubedigger ($15) will download this. Probably a free way to download, but I couldn't figure it out.

jagabo ????

jimdagys@ u can download it with ffmpeg but i want someone to help

[jagabo]

For jimdagys' link I was able to find this m3u8 link with a MS Edge's developer tools:

https://www.hidive.com/manifest/master/WTC_s01e001_hv_or_na_ja_xx_HLS_16x9_00_i.m3u8

youtube-dl and ffmpeg were able to download an 854x480 video with that.

jagabo
can you please show me how u download it ?

[jagabo]

I used:

ffmpeg -i "https://www.hidive.com/manifest/master/WTC_s01e001_hv_or_na_ja_xx_HLS_16x9_00_i.m3u8" -c copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc output.mp4

[jimdagys]

OK, I see why when I typed
m3u8
in Chrome developer tools, I didn't get any entry. The reason was when I started the Chrome developer tool,
All
was not selected by default. See screenshot red circle. After I selected
All
then I was able to see the m3u8 that Jagabo got. I was able to download with the ffmpeg (same code a s Jagabo provided) and also youtube-dl. I'm used to using youtube-dl to first get available resolutions and then choose and download the resolution that I want. In this case I chose 640x360.

jagabo@ , jimdagys@ do guys have a way to Communiction cause it didnt work with me

[jagabo]

What do you mean "it didn't work" for you? What didn't work? The command line I gave for jimdagys' video? Your own command line for the video in your first post? What exactly did you do? Did you get an error message? What did it say? If you want help you need to provide details.

this is what i got https://imgur.com/GXXYkt3

[jagabo]

So you're using the command line I gave in post #8. Maybe you're geoblocked? From your browser, can you right click and download any of the following links?

https://www.hidive.com/manifest/master/WTC_s01e001_hv_or_na_ja_xx_HLS_16x9_00_i.m3u8
https://www.hidive.com/manifest/child/WTC_s01e001_hv_or_na_ja_xx_HLS480p_16x9_00_i.m3u8
https://d39tnrg4enpk6w.cloudfront.net/content/WTC/HLS/HLS480p/WTC_s01e001_hv_or_na_ja_...FUV66JZQCBHYXA

The first is the m3u8 link I gave earlier. The second is one of the m3u8 files listed within that m3u8 file. The third is the first part of the video listed in the second m3u8 file (it's encrypted so you won't be able to view it this way). I can access all of them from Firefox with Right Click -> Save Link As...

Can you view the video using the URL that jimdagys gave in post #3? If so, use your browser's developer tools to verify that the URL is the same from where you are.

jagabo@ yeah what u said
but when i tied to downlload it with youtube-dl and this is the result

[jagabo]

The command line I gave was for ffmpeg, not youtube-dl. With youtube-dl try:

youtube-dl https://www.hidive.com/manifest/master/WTC_s01e001_hv_or_na_ja_xx_HLS_16x9_00_i.m3u8

jagabo@ it works with 480p but if i have account and i want download subtitles what a command i have to use ?

[jagabo]

Use the browser's developer tools to view network streams. Look for a subtitle file. From jimdagys' link in post #3:

https://www.hidive.com/caption/vtt?id=WTC_s01e001_hv_or_na_ja_en_v00.vtt

You can download that with your browser.

[hideme]

Search it on google chrome tool and i didnt get it , could you please show me where u get tit with pictures ?

[hideme]

i got it , i just need to Search for 'vtt?id'
but how i will get it to work cause it download as HAR
theres a way to make it ass?

[jagabo]

You can convert to ass format with ffmpeg

ffmpeg -i input.ext output.ass

[hideme]

can you show me the way u did download the subtiles to you pc beacause the file zise is 7 mb

[jagabo]

I just copied the URL into the browsers address bar and opened it.

[hideme]

when i convert to ass the subs looks horrible
there is no command line to rip subtitles also like crunchyroll?

[jagabo]

What do you mean "looks horrible"? If you don't like the font/size/colors/etc. Edit the ASS file and change them. ASS is plain text that can be edited with Notepad. Or maybe convert to SRT instead.

Of course, you can download and convert with ffmpeg if you want:

ffmpeg -i https://www.hidive.com/caption/vtt?id=WTC_s01e001_hv_or_na_ja_en_v00.vtt output.srt

[hideme]

[jagabo]

one last thing , to download 720p or 1080p i do the same steps ?

If they're available, yes.

[hideme]

jagabo@ thank you again for helping me out

[leoat12]

I used:

ffmpeg -i "https://www.hidive.com/manifest/master/WTC_s01e001_hv_or_na_ja_xx_HLS_16x9_00_i.m3u8" -c copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc output.mp4

Hey there, this is a pretty old thread, but I was wondering if you were still able to use that command to get the video? Because I get errors now.
They have this key file, but the m3u8 seems more or less the same, so I'm not sure why the download won't initiate.

[jagabo]

That video has changed to "subscription only".

[leoat12]

It seems that all videos are now sub only, so if anyone also has a sub, is able to test things out, please give me a ping.
