Complex DL

[mitrixhimself]

Brand new user, self educating. Glad to have found VideoHelp

Trying to DL https://www.peacocktv.com/watch/asset/tv/wheres-waldo/6145373121237940112 from Australia (unavailable in region).
(Note these are available via free tier, so account required but not a subscription)

I have tried yt-dlp, but not yet successful with US proxy.
I have not yet tried with NordVPN
Error is - unsupported URL:

I am working with many variables which is not ideal for troubleshooting.
I suspect the first issue is the URL itself may actually be unsupported or incorrect (looking to get 20 eps of season 2).
The next issue is likely an unsuccessful proxy (https://spys.one/free-proxy-list/US/).
The last issue I expect is the DRM, and have only read about potential chrome version issues with extensions identifying keys.

If someone is happy to help troubleshoot / teach via DM, I would appreciate it as 20 eps is too much to ask.

I am currently running the following code

yt-dlp.exe --proxy "102.129.249.120:1080" -F --allow-unplayable-formats http://www.peacocktv.com/watch/asset/tv/wheres-waldo/6145373121237940112

I have not yet tried with NordVPN

Well, what are you waiting for?

Hmm interesting, tried a few Nord servers with no luck but will try some more.

No Widevine Guesser required?

I noticed I used a different URL than you, but managed to get the master_cmaf.mpd?c3.ri url from firefox inspect - network tab
https://g003-vod-us-cmaf-prd-ak.cdn.peacocktv.com/pub/global/tx0/uJg/PCK_1623976795426...84055056725164

Will try some more vpn servers.

Thanks for the screenshot and upload.

I used NordVPN default, didn't even choose specific server, just clicked USA.
Do you have NordVPN DNS servers set? If not, that might be preventing your access to Peacock.

Guesser is of course required to get keys for decrypting with mp4decrypt afterwards.
I don't know what difference in URL happened, but I clicked your link and chosen another episode.

HOLD FIRE ON THE BELOW - troubleshooting VPN issue.


I am getting the following output.

I don't know if my url is wrong or if the VPN server is still the issue?

I have tried both urls
1. https://www.peacocktv.com/watch/playback/vod/GMO_00000000144086_02/4d17e9fc-8cd6-32bc-...0-435eb0ca187e

I have even tried exporting firefox cookies into cookies.txt in same path.
Shall I continue to try different VPN servers?

try using the firefox addon called the stream detector, set it to use yt-dlp
and see if it'll download the show.

[mitrixhimself]

Thanks for pointing me towards 'the stream detector' i was previously getting normal links as posted above.

Now I can only get links as per the below stream detector output.
After adding an output template so the file is saved I am still having difficulty.
Starting to think i should give up or take a break.

I am sure NORD is stuffing me up.

@notaghost - you have DL the Spanish audio version, actually could it be that the best quality (highest version number) version on this audio stream is actually Spanish rather than English?

So far I have been able to implement aria2c to speed up download of English audio.
I have been able to verify the keys provided by notaghost and decrypt both the audio and video.
Last step is for me to merge audio and video via Mkvmerge.

In summary Have I got the process correct?
1. Identify URL of stream 'The Stream Detector' has helped. (I am still not 100% on where to locate the g00... url via inspect/developer tools in Firefox.

https://www.peacocktv.com/watch/playback/vod/GMO_00000000144086_02/4d17e9fc-8cd6-32bc-...0-435eb0ca187e

2. Identify keys via browser inspect/developer console using guesser extension

3. Export browser cookies for websites that need a login to PATH cookies.txt

4. yt-dlp with -F to ensure best audio is English version.
5. select preferred video and audio in command
example cmd ---> yt-dlp --allow-un -f video_7182894+audio_0_en_102830 --external-downloader aria2c.exe "https://g003-vod-us-cmaf-prd-cl.cdn.peacocktv.com/pub/global/cAZ/CtQ/PCK_1615750257854.9292_01/cmaf/mpeg_cenc_2sec/master_cmaf.mpd?c3.ri=3779949495906012671"

6. Decrypt with key via mp4decrypt

7. Merge audio and video with Mkvmerge


Please correct / optimize the above summary if you have the time.

Kindest Regards

[codehound]

No need to mess about exporting cookies anywhere with yt-dlp.

Just use:

--cookies-from-browser chrome

...as part of your syntax. Substitute the name of your browser for chrome if its something different. (Lower case.)
