Trying (and failing) to download this show

[seanadl]

I'm trying to download an ep of the Ellen show (series 19, episode 49 with Meghan Markle).

As i'm based in the UK, i thought i'd give the ITV hub a try:
https://www.itv.com/hub/the-ellen-degeneres-show/2a4350a1027

But its proving impossible to download with youtube-dl - plus its drm protected.

Any ideas or pointers?

ytdlp not youtube-dl
also --allow-u

might need other tweaks, send user/pass via private message

Just sent you a PM.

When using ytdlp i get this error:

ITVHub is an odd one... sometimes it gives one mpd which won't work (Policy=)... sometimes it gives another that does (hdnea=)
Many refreshes can get the correct one

So for that show in particular... Most of the time it gives this one (which will fail to download).

However, sometimes it will give this one (which will download fine - remember --allow-u)

and to save you some time if you don't already have them...

Yes, this different mpd was discussed before on this forum.
I already got the video for him.
However, we can't get 1080p... itv doesn't seem to provide.

No ITVHub is not HD... For HD ITV you need to use the ITV addon subscription for Amazon I believe
