Any way to download content from this site?

[Sviests]

Is there any way to download content from this site?
Some firefox plugins used to work but not anymore. It uses AES-128 decryption and i've tried various methods,but nothing so far.
Plugin gives .m3u8 url,but it's unplayable.
The key file is this (from .m3u8)
(i've tried FFMPEG, streamlink, hlsdl, youtube-dl so far). Closest i got was with streamlink,but got error:

    raise ValueError("Incorrect AES key length (%d bytes)" % len(key))
ValueError: Incorrect AES key length (7 bytes)

I really hope i won't have to use a screen recorder for this.

Thanks.

I was able to download from that site using Tubedigger. I choose:
https://www.filmas.lv/movie/3904/
and downloaded a 5 minute 19 second video. I'm not sure if this is just a short preview. I know when I played it in the browser, it also showed 5 minute 19 seconds. Probably can also use youtube-dl or livestreamer.

Weird, i already tried all 3 of those,none of them worked

I am using Windows 7. For that filmas site, I needed to choose "Chromium3" in the Tubedigger settings (see below screenshot). If I chose the default setting, which is IExplorer, I couldn't download the video. I have a question for you: Can you give me an exact link that will play (in the browser) a full length movie (like over an hour) from that site? I was curious why the video I chose only was 5 minutes. The website doesn't seem to list the length of the videos.

The films are only viewable using an IP within Latvia. IPs from other locations just get a trailer, or no video at all.

The key url that you supplied:

https://www.filmas.lv/lmdb/hls/key/server/72529B84A28644D7DB6923E83CA0AB40

is not the key for the m3u8 url that you supplied:

https://as2.filmas.lv/FilmasLV/86A6F43BC636B08174239F8E2E092F78/index-f4-v1-a1.m3u8

and that m3u8 url is not for the webpage url that you supplied:

https://www.filmas.lv/movie/3903

    raise ValueError("Incorrect AES key length (%d bytes)" % len(key))
ValueError: Incorrect AES key length (7 bytes)

The reason that you're getting an incorrect length for the key is because in order to download the actual key, cookies and other various header data is required. It could be done manually, or you could ask the tubdigger guy to add this site.

Thanks @TubeDigger, will try this out.

Edit: Wonderful! I was able to recreate youtube-dl line with cookies from my browser,worked like a charm.

Question for Tubedigger,
I know Tubedigger can be used with a vpn , but I don't have any free vpn that will do Latvia. Is it possible to use Tubedigger in conjunction with those manual free proxies like those found on www.spys.ru ?
If so, how to put those proxy numbers into Tubedigger? For example, spys.ru shows several Latvia proxies like:
85.15.216.56:53540
How would I put this number into Tubedigger so that I can download the video? Presently, I can't even play the video (listed in post#1) in the browser.
(https://www.filmas.lv/movie/3903/#)
I didn't yet try to use one of those manual free proxies to play the video in the browser, but in the past, I have been usually able to get the manual free proxies to work to play intermittently in the browser.
EDIT: I FIGURED IT OUT MYSELF (RARE FOR ME) AND IT WAS EXTREMELY EASY TO DO.
I went to above proxy site (www.spys.ru) and choose a Latvia proxy (thank you Ponens for that tip) . The proxy I chose was:
85.15.216.56:53540
I put this proxy into IE on my Windows 7 computer (tools>internet options>connections>LAN settings>tick "Proxy server" and put in 85.15.216.56:53540 in the boxes and clicked "OK". See screenshot 1, red circles.
Then I tried to play the video with IE:
(https://www.filmas.lv/movie/3903/#)
Before, there was no play arrow, now there was a play arrow, and when I clicked it, the video started to play with a running time shown as 1hour 41minutes. I closed out IE, opened up Tubedigger and put in the video url. (See screenshot 2)
Again, the play arrow appeared, (before, there was no play arrow) I clicked it and was able to start the download. I downloaded a 780MB ts file, however it won't play in any media player. When I try to use Tubedigger to convert the ts to mp4, I get error message that the file is not a media file. QUESTION: How can I get the video to play? Here is a mega link:
https://mega.nz/#!IG4EzQQT!uFBiRW70KLc8tyHtRNlPsVIQMRgKrfteQidElaaV0X8
SEVERAL OTHER QUESTIONS, CAN SOMEBODY HELP: If I want to download this with youtube-dl, I looked at the above code from Mr Tubedigger.
How did he get the cookie value (--add-header "Cookie:PHPSESSID...)?
How did he get the m3u8 (https://www.filmas.lv/lmdb/hls/playlist/7383FD32AF7B5446CEE5B26BB028FDF5.m3u8)
Is the m3u8 gotten by simply playing the video in the IE browser (with proxy) and using network developer tool?
Are there any other special considerations (like using --proxy "85.15.216.56:53540") in the final youtube-dl code because of needing a proxy?

If so, how to put those proxy numbers into Tubedigger?
I put this proxy into IE on my Windows 7 computer (tools>internet options>connections>LAN settings>tick "Proxy server" and put in 85.15.216.56:53540 in the boxes

Yes, you did everything correct. TubeDigger and all its embedded browsers use system (IE) proxy settings.
Just click in TubeDigger: Settings -> Proxy config --> LAN Settings and enter proxy IP:Port (or Advanced for SOCKS proxy).

Again, the play arrow appeared, (before, there was no play arrow) I clicked it and was able to start the download. I downloaded a 780MB ts file, however it won't play in any media player.

Sorry, but I do not want to download 800MB file, probably there was some glitch during retrieving HLS-AES key and therefore media content was not properly decrypted and video must be redownloaded, please see screenshot. Normally such downloads with failed key will be also failed, but this media site responds 200 OK with "error" in key payload. To avoid such situations - put mouse over download when its size will be few MBytes and if you will see media information in tooltip about video and/or audio - then such video is downloading properly.

Is the m3u8 gotten by simply playing the video in the IE browser (with proxy) and using network developer tool?

Yes, developer tools from IE or Firefox.

Are there any other special considerations (like using --proxy "85.15.216.56:53540") in the final youtube-dl code because of needing a proxy?

Only if your system settings are without proxy.

OK, I was able to download the 780MB video with Tubedigger and play it with vlc no problem. I'm not sure what fixed the problem, but I did this:
First I updated to the latest Tubedigger (my version was about 10 months old). Then I tried to download the video
(https://www.filmas.lv/movie/3903/#) with Tubedigger using the default setting (IExplorer). I downloaded a 780MB ts file, but again I could not play the file with any media player and also could not convert the ts file to mp4 with the Tubedigger tool. I then changed the Tubedigger setting to Chromium3. (Before, I used the Chromium 3 setting on the 10 month old version of Tubedigger and could not play the downloaded video). So I used the Chromium 3 setting on the latest version of Tubedigger (see screenshot), downloaded the 780MB ts file. This time, I was able to convert the ts file to mp4 with the Tubedigger tool, and I was able to play the resulting file no problem with vlc. The most useful thing I learned from all this is: Putting those free proxy numbers into IE will allow Tubedigger to download from geo-restricted sites. Before, I thought you had to use a vpn with Tubedigger to download from geo-restricted sites. And nobody has a free vpn for Latvia.
EDIT:
Tubedigger,
Can you tell me how you got the cookie value (--add-header "Cookie:PHPSESSID...) in your above code? I assume I need to get my own cookie value if I want to try to download the video with youtube-dl using your above script.

[Tortle]

Better to teach people how to do it manually, and not just suggesting Tubedigger all the time


I do like Tubedigger though
