i'm too using Nordvpn but keep getting HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

[johns0]

Are logging into a Canadian server on nordvpn and then loading up the web page?Sometimes you gotta try a few time going to that web page.

i'm too using Nordvpn but keep getting HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

When are you getting the 403?
Can you play the video in your browser?
If you can, DownloadHelper will get it.
I was getting 403 when I was using the other tools you mentioned.

Try different NordVPN servers (with bigger numbers), make sure you have set NordVPN DNS in your network. Contact NordVPN support if you cant play the videos in your browser.

yt-dl work fine
VPN canada needed

Doesn't work on my end.
NordVPN.
It plays fine in the browser but doesn't let me download through cmd.

Perhaps it needs some headers?

[lomero]

bro, see your link....
you have copied and paste https://www.cbc.ca/player/sports/olympics/replays
this is generic link.... not video link!

Yes, that was a mistake but see below that.

youtube-dl --hls-prefer-native --no-part https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/1916120131606

NordVPN.

I tried expressvpn and it works just fine in CMD by entering the CBC url.

Oh well, this is the 2nd time I encounter something that works with ExpressVPN and not with NordVPN.

[lomero]

problem is not nordVPN or ExpressVPN...
you have put on yt-dl a generic url, not url to one video file....
this is generic page which you used with yt-dl -----> https://www.cbc.ca/player/sports/olympics/replays
this is link to one video (first video) ----> https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/1916120131606

Dude... please look at the screenshot once again, I already explained you.
1st try I put generic link (wrong)
2nd try I put one video specific link, I even copy pasted from you, 403 forbidden.

[lomero]

ok 1st is wrong and this is clear.
about 2nd point maybe your VPN not work fine for this test.
anyway i have not used neither nordVPN nor ExpressVPN (but another VPN)

[[ss]vegeta]

maybe your VPN not work fine for this test.

Well, that is obvious, we concluded that

i can play stream. no problem there. just not downloading any, same 403 error using direct link or url.

[lomero]

look my post #12....
if doesn't work for you, you need to switch VPN

[kpt21]

look my post #12....
if doesn't work for you, you need to switch VPN

yeah still doesn't work with that command

[lomero]

kpt21 if you're out of Canada, you need a better VPN, better than the one you have now...
if you are in canada, then you get something wrong because the command works. update yt-dl to latest version 2021.06.06

The cmd works, just not with NordVPN, tried ExpressVPN the most videos are good to download.

However, this particular one doesn't seem to be the case: https://www.cbc.ca/979f034e-fd5f-425b-80ac-0b9a18a436a6. I tried with different expressVPN server but not working, would someone please try if it works on their end?

Oops I paste the wrong one, here is the one I was talking about: https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/1918346307611

Do you know if it's even playable? It was a live stream,and easily could've just been removed or moved to VOD section

It is playable in my browser with VPN.
Other videos were live stream too and I was able to download the them, so I was wondering..
