Can I download this .mpd video or is DRM preventing me?

[Joélle]

I've been trying to download this video here:

https://www.virginmediatelevision.ie/player/show/1541/148752/0/Ireland's-Jihadis:-True-Lives

Used a Firefox addon called The Stream Detector to get the HLS link.
It detected this:

https://secure-cf-c.ooyala.com/0wamhhZzE66_8IaX_g83IiI2DlmZqkD9/1/dash/1.mpd

It also provides you with the code to download the file.

youtube-dl --no-part --restrict-filenames "https://secure-cf-c.ooyala.com/0wamhhZzE66_8IaX_g83IiI2DlmZqkD9/1/dash/1.mpd"

The result I get is:

[generic] 1: Requesting header
WARNING: Falling back on generic information extractor.
[generic] 1: Downloading webpage
[generic] 1: Extracting information
ERROR: No video formats found; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Make sure you are using the latest version; type  youtube-dl -U  to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.

I also just tried

youtube-dl -F https://secure-cf-c.ooyala.com/0wamhhZzE66_8IaX_g83IiI2DlmZqkD9/1/dash/1.mpd

I got the same result.
Do you think there is some copy protection preventing the download?
Thanks.

Nah, youtube-dl is preventing you DL it, it DL's fine with Streamlink; but you are correct in the assumption its copy protected.

Edit: You can set 'The Stream Detector' FF addon to create either a Streamlink, ffmpeg or a youtube-dl syntax for you via the dropdown box in the Settings.

Thanks, Tried Steamlink. I just got a 740MB .ts file that looks like 45 minutes of this.



Is that DRM? Is there anything I can do about it?

Content is encrypted.

Do you just need the one video?

People want to understand this download, as such.

Well, I'd like to be able to get videos from that website when ever I like.
It's the only non-tax payer funded tv channel in Ireland.
I stick up small clips on youtube sometimes of political/news shows for commentary.
Currently I am screen-recording them so the quality isn't as good and it takes longer.
But why do you ask?

Content is encrypted.

Any way around it?

I was going to make a new thread bt it seems better to continue this one

I want to download https://www.virginmediatelevision.ie/player/show/1058/0/0/Coronation-Street

The Stream Detector give me https://secure-cf-c.ooyala.com/tleHg0aTE6iqQjYmqf19edMx1D3Mmh1n/1/dash/1.mpd

Streamlink download is 366 MB but just blank black in VLC I tried with youtube-dl updated to latest. Would not work. Said no video formats found

I presume the encryption still exists

That MPD is encrypted, you can easily download and open it in notepad and see ContentProtection

thanks i did not know that

maybe it is decryptable, but is manifest.mpd or other downloaded file or the firefox memory, streaming site leaking the decryption key anyhow, How to discover the key?

Hi,

I'm new here. I want to learn how to download things from Mubi, Kanopy and Filmin.

For example, I want to get this: https://lapl.kanopy.com/video/george-story-george-maciunas-and-fluxus

I got this mpd: https://kcms.kanopy.com/api/v1/playback/2f0ed75e-0085-4fbf-a8e7-10b858db5966/dash_nohd...=backblaze_001

youtube-dl doesn't do the trick.

So far I found this KID:
17477b55c62041d4b8f298909fc5752
17477b55c62041d4b8f298909fc57525

And this KEY:
bb0f83a278307cf2e32a0e574fc60b89

What Chrome version should I use with Widevine L3?

Does this syntax make sense: mp4decrypt.exe --key (17477b55c62041d4b8f298909fc5752)bb0f83a278307cf2e32a0e574fc60b89)? What should I put as sourcefile and destinationfile?

[lomero]

kid is only one, not 2.
and chrome version it's not decisive.
and correct string is:

mp4decrypt --key <id>:<k> <input> <output>
