YoutubeVideoDownloader: download video and audio from +900 sites

[Quint]

I use YT-dlp successfully, and because also can receive keys again, I am quite happy.
But there are TV-LIVEstreams that are also DRMed, and YT-dlp doesn't get these, only a few seconds. Does anyone have experience with these kind of DRM-Livestreams? Maybe with N_m3uDL or some other downloader?

Thank you, yes: But this is a never ending live stream of a tv channel. The above 281 MB are only a few minutes. The Default-MPD is updated every few seconds. Is there a tool for downloading such live streams?

[jschrooyen]

Thanks for the update!

[lomero]

the size changes constantly, it is not fixed. increases over time. being a live.
try and see.

[Quint]

Dear @lomero, please believe me... Of course, I did try...
The size changes, that's true, but stops finally at about 300 MB. This is and was my only problem.
Technically: The mpd is updated every few seconds. You can make a batch that calls yt-dlp 10 or 20 times, so that you get more than one chunk. The problem is that these chunks overlap because of the interferring updates. So the handling has to be made inside yt-dlp or another downloader.
I repeat my question: Does anybody know if such a tool exists or has another idea to get chunks that do not overlap by providing a start and end time?
You can do so with ffmpeg - maybe it might work to use ffmpeg as external downloader, but ffmpeg doesn't download DRM streams at all. Or is there some fork that can?

I too have just tried ytdlp to download a Widevine DRM protected livestream that has a mpd that changes/refreshes and it just grabs 30 megabytes of 8 fragments.

the biggest mistake of the program is that it downloads the subtitles in vtt format

Omg that's so terrible, if there was only a way to convert them...

[xplorr]

This is actually not correct.
TVDownloader tries to download subtitles in all formats available and secondly tries to convert them to srt (currently supported conversions: srt | ass | vtt | lrc )

Thanks for the update!

Yes, very much second that !

Good morning, how can I download this video from vk.com: https://vk.com/video536128688_456239785 ??
Thanks a lot to all people

[lomero]

if you have vk login data put it on TVDownloader
or also signup on vk and download with IDM (work, i've try).

if you don't have vk login go to https://9xbuddy.com put your link and download (tested, work)

Hi, I'm trying to download some video's from VRT.nu, but I'm stuck... I'm using youtube-dl in command, and I tried to test it by using a link provided by someone earlier: youtube-dl --hls-prefer-native --no-part https://ondemand-cf-vrt.akamaized.net/content/vod/vid-b17477d4-ff5a-4bb7-aff0-3fadfda1..._aes.ism/.m3u8

That one works, but if I try to construe a link on my own, by pressing F12 and going to network, I don't find .m3u8 links, only DASH, which doesn't seem to work. Can anybody help me to try to figure out how to find the correct link? Thanks in advance.

The show I'm trying to download is: https://www.vrt.be/vrtnu/a-z/het-scheldepeloton/1/het-scheldepeloton-s1a4/

Download latest version of TVDownloader (with custom youtube-dl included) and your video will download.

Thanks! I had tried it but didn't work that's why I asked, but then I tried again and it did work. Don't know what I did wrong the first time.

I tried a quick poke at it and noticed it is GEO locked and I am in the US. But after searching a little and using a VPN I noticed that you must login to watch. After logging in use an addon called Export Cookies for Firefox and then use the --cookies option with YTDLP (if youtube-dl doesn't work) and it should fix the issue.

Also you will not have to grab the M3U8 link or MPD, just the link in the top of the browser typically works, especially for YTDLP.

Hi, could someone please confirm that TVDownloader is still working with france.tv ? Youtube-dl is not working anymore (needs a patch to retrieve JSON) and I get the same error with TVDownloader . URL https://www.france.tv/series-et-fictions/telefilms/2743743-les-heritiers.html

Thanks

Edit: TVDownloader is working if you put the movie URL manifest (https://..../manifest.mpd) but it's not working if you input the movie URL which is the way the program was/is intended to be used.

Another option is to use my custom StreamDetector extension for Chrome to detect the streamurl (download on first page of this thread) and use that url instead.

Use ytdlp with --allow-u
This mpd gives only 38s video. Probably there's another mpd when you are logged in.
Send credentials via private message system if you can't figure it out.

[STRiCK3R]

Yes, that's it, he only downloads 30 seconds of the video. I obtained this mpd while being logged into the site. I will try what you advise me thank you

[STRiCK3R]

I tried with yt-dlp but it downloads the same thing to me only 38 seconds

Send me username/password via private message so I can see what's going on.
In the browser you can actually watch the whole 1h30m or something video, right?

[STRiCK3R]

Yes absolutely in the browser the video is fully read, I send you the IDs in MP, thank you for your help
