Need help for download with yt-dlp

[sibhus]

Hello,

I am new to this forum, i discovered it a while ago.
Usually I download either with 4K Video downloader (for youtube videos) or with jdownloader.
I had a project this summer to record the stream of the Olympic games and discovert how ffmpeg work in command line.
I try actually to take the paralympics but have little problem, the download is really slow.
I would try to use the yt-dlp with external downloader aria2c for see if speed is fast, but i don't know how to use because all i try send me 403 error (forbidden).
I try to put option request and other but dosen't work.

I try any post ont this forum or other with command for yt-dlp and when try exemple send on forum it work, but with my link doesn't work.

This is one link : https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/en/paralympics/watch/dac546ba-1bdc-4199-95b2-7451c0d09...doubles-finals

If any have solution for help me i thank him very much

You need aria2c for windows.

https://github.com/aria2/aria2/releases/download/release-1.36.0/aria2-1.36.0-win-64bit-build1.zip

Put the executable in same folder as yt-dlp

Call it with:

yt-dlp --external-downloader aria2c "url"

On my cell phone currently so cannot properly investigate your link with a VPN. I will do later unless someone else helps first (?) Maybe the forbidden error just needs referer or cookies.

Hello codehound,

Thanks for anwser, i have this, i think my explain is not clean is my fault.

My problem is when try to download the .m3u8 (with or without the aria2 downloader) i have this on screen :

[generic] master_1: Requesting header
WARNING: [generic] Could not send HEAD request to https://vodocstparatoka.ovpobs.tv/out/vod/valias/tok2000086/u/ch10/hdntl=ip=45.9.249.6...?m=1629277144: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden
[generic] master_1: Downloading webpage
ERROR: [generic] Unable to download webpage: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden (caused by <HTTPError 403: 'Forbidden'>); please report this issue on https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp . Make sure you are using the latest version; see https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp on how to update. Be sure to call yt-dlp with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.


I try to add user-agent and referer (like i do on ffmpeg) but here doesn't work.

[codehound]

Referer and User Agent add like this:

yt-dlp --allow-unplayable-formats --no-check-certificate --cookies-from-browser BROWSERNAME --allow-unplayable-formats --external-downloader aria2c --referer "https://olympics.com/" --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/90.0.4430.93 Safari/537.36 Edg/90.0.818.51" "URL"

BROWSERNAME = substitute with your browser name = edge firefox chrome etc (whichever one you use)

Hello, i find post with code posted by lomero, adapt it and look work perfectly, little different from your.
I try your code to and work perfectly, many thanks to the help codehound.
I will look at the two code in detail tomorrow for see and try to understand all the options because i have removed option on two command and it still works.
Many thanks because download look more fast with aria2 than ffmpeg . . .
aria2 look like use multiple connection and ffmpeg take one-by-one.

Hello lomero,

This is the big interesting question, i try many many for know how it work and for me is mysterious !

Here https://www.paralympic.org/tokyo-2020/broadcast you have the official broadcaster country by country, when you have "IPC" or this "https://www.paralympic.org/" normally you can watch the replay on the official website.
But this doesn't work and i don't know why.
When i use VPN with IP on accedited country, i can see the olympics channel on youtube without any problem (the problem and why don't whant youtube is because on this olympics the broadcast is 1 video track and 2 audio track (one is ambiant sound, and other is Commentry), and on youtube have no this choise, commentary is the only audio track. I would take the two track and create MP4 with it like i do for the olympics.

But with the same IP i can't acces on the video, i see the summary with all video (he recognizes that I am in an authorized country (the summary is here : https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/en/paralympics/watch/, when your IP is not good you can't see the video)) but when try to start the video, it does not work, say have little problem you can refresh etc....)

I'm NordVPN user, i try many configuration (openvpn etc etc..) but nothing work, always video have problem and don't lunch . . .
I take account on ExpressVPN and Vyprvpn and exactly the same, the video don't lunch.
The only method i have for see is use my NordVPN with configuration like this : disable automatic connection and use protocol OpenVPN (TCP), active Obfuscated Servers and choose UAE server.
Actually only this work for me, try many vpn service, many server but only this work and i d'ont know exactly why.


I am unfortunately not as gifted and knowledgeable as you guys on this forums, so I wouldn't be able to explain or understand why it doesn't work.
I just read articles that seem to say there was a lot of way to block a VPN : detect the port used by the vpn, IP blocking of the VPN service (it seems that the IPs of the VPN provider are often blocked).

I don't have enough knowledge.

i have nord VPN also, follow your step but no work for me.
country? japan?
post here screenshot about your working nord configuration, if work for you.

[lomero]

another: search same video that you want on https://sports.nhk.or.jp/paralympic/
if your video is available here, it's more simple to play video

Hi lomero,

I send in MP the screen and description for the nord VPN for you try if is work for you.

Yes i know this website but he only purpose 1280x720 stream and don't purpose always the two audio track (ambient and commentary, i will take the two).

And i don't know how this website work, i don't find any .m3u8 file for download, i see the manifest file but i don't know how to see what stream definition and soundtrack is available with this protocole.
Don't know how to download this with ffmpeg, and with yt-dlp i don't know how take the video in specific resolution, and don't know if is possible to download two audio track and how chose. I try any command but doesn't work.

The Olympics dot com website doesn't need a VPN, at least not on my country. Try using something like The Stream Detector (Firefox extension) to automatically generate the yt-dlp command for you. Take a look at this topic: https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/402785-olympics-com-tokyo-2020-replays

[lomero]

The Olympics dot com website doesn't need a VPN, at least not on my country

which country?
and you have try to download? work?

[lfer94]

I am from Argentina and I can also play those videos without using a VPN. For example, if I enter here or here, I'll be able to watch all the replays.

And I can to download them with Streamlink (yt-dlp doesn't work for me), but only one stream at a time.

I'm in Brazil, and yes it started downloading. But it's a 6 hour broadcast so I didn't downloaded it all, but seemed fine.

[lomero]

if work for you, share here your code for download

[sibhus]

.

[lomero]

video play also with express VPN set on Brazil (tanxs to Namekuseijin suggestion).

streamlink --http-header "User-Agent=xxx" --http-header "Referer=https://olympics.com" --http-query-param "hdnts=xxx" --hls-segment-threads 5 "master_x.m3u8" best -o olympics.ts

Hdnts works like a token. You can find it on dev tools or simply at the end of the master.m3u8 link.
To download the video at 1080p, you must to use the master_1.m3u8 link. To download the audio, you must to use the master_7_0.m3u8 (with commentaries) and/or master_7_1.m3u8 (ambient).

can you help me ?

[cedric8528]

you can't use the direct video link with this site.

You must find the mpd url and you can use"Stream Detector Addon" for Firefox or Chrome to get it

yt-dlp --allow-u https://c9851ec-az-westeurope-fsly.cdn.redbee.live/rtbf/auvio/assets/3121854_6BA97Bb/materials/nAZfcJ7jre_6BA97Bb/vod-idx.ism/.mpd

anyway your file is encrypted...

you must find the key using PSSH and Licence Url

https://cdrm-project.com/


[Attachment 77104 - Click to enlarge]

key

5ade6a1ec0d443c692f22d36862ba8dd:98e51d8b25ebaee30f3dd5475454ee51

the best way is using N_m3u8DL-RE to download and decrypt your video

N_m3u8DL-RE --key 5ade6a1ec0d443c692f22d36862ba8dd:98e51d8b25ebaee30f3dd5475454ee51 "https://c9851ec-az-westeurope-fsly.cdn.redbee.live/rtbf/auvio/assets/3121854_6BA97Bb/materials/nAZfcJ7jre_6BA97Bb/vod-idx.ism/.mpd" -M format=mp4

there is multiple threads on this forum about Auvio site.

your file
