    Hi all

    I'm trying to create a personal backup of a file located at NowTV.com
    This platform only allows playback through its own NowTV Player. No playback at all through any other application or browser. Not supported. UK VPN Required.

    I have the following link
    http://vod004-gb-hls1-prd-ak.cdn.skycdp.com/016a/skyplayer/VCD/VGC/BSKY_ATLANTIC/TITL0..._3-3000_v.m3u8

    Trying to backup using N_m3u8DL-CTI, however I get as far as this in the log:
    19:31:06.199 / (NORMAL) Start Parsing http://vod004-gb-hls1-prd-ak.cdn.skycdp.com/016a/skyplayer/VCD/VGC/BSKY_ATLANTIC/TITL0..._3-3000_v.m3u8
    19:31:07.655 / (NORMAL) Parsing M3u8 Content
    19:31:07.659 / (NORMAL) Downloading M3u8 Key... 81701500000810e14f3d8c7cca90d5f7b17b9073aac91000

    Downloads 4MB then closes.

    Can I pretty please have some assistance.

    They're using a drm system called VideoGuard Connect. The key 81701500000810e14f3d8c7cca90d5f7b17b9073aac91000 is something that only VideoGuard Connect (VGC) can understand. It is not the real key, so you cannot download it.

    If you had the key, you could've set it in N_m3u8DL. Perhaps it could've worked but you don't have the key. So..

    This is a video I've been trying to test backup.

    From here I've had to use a URL Sniffer to locate the m3u8 link.

    He means that you need to send him a private message containing username and password for an already registered account.
    People helping here aren't just gonna register on every platform requested.
