Hello! Started from this topic - https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/402507-how-to-get-m3u8-from-this-video - installed user-agent-switcher for Mozilla, now I can switch to mobile iOS and then I see link to m3u8 through installed in browser VideoDownloadHelper. But the maximum resolution of the movie changes to 720p from 1080p or even 4K on source! How can I bypass that?

Movie i try to download is here - https://www.iq.com/play/the-forbidden-depths-2021-ikqcat3fq8?lang=en_us although I don't know if you see it right - I'm a VIP-member and 1080p is playable only to VIPs.

Don't understand what you desire. Without membership, a person can only get 6:02 mins at 1280x526

Movie is not encrypted so you should be able to download without any challenges (provided you have done your share of reading).

Did you expect someone here to sign up and get the movie for you?

[Losthost]

I have membership, I can view full movie in browser but I can't download it.

[jack_666]

I reiterate, movie is not encrypted so you should be able to download without any challenges (provided you have done your share of reading).

I have membership, I can view full movie in browser That's nice

I can't download it What efforts have you made?

[Losthost]

Once again.

Step 1. I'm logged into my iqiyi account, I can view full movie in 1080p or 2160p. But Video Download Helper doesn't see anything and I can't seem to sniff anyhow m3u8 file.
Step 2. I use user-agent switcher, switch to some mobile version - iOS with chrome/Firefox anything (I tried almost every combination).
Step 3. Video Download Helper immediately sees video but the video itself plays maximum 720p - and I'm still logged into my account.

For reference, m3u8 files it sniffes out look like this

https://cache-m.iq.com/mus/7005815702623900/95d3eb0623a8f2a883f095592f48c8e7/afbe8fd3d...28a68ad578196f

So my question is how to download movie in full resolution? 1080p or 4K? Because now the moment I switch user-agent I get resolution cap to 720p

Oh i've done my share of reading all right
I tried downloading it through iqiyi app - it downloads it in qsv but right now none of converters work correctly with it (i've tried a lot)
So then I found this program - https://github.com/nilaoda/N_m3u8DL-CLI - and it requires m3u8-link. As I wrote in first comment i've read about user-change way and it works just like I wrote - capping the resolution to 720p.

[Losthost]

Please-please-please, how did you get it? I need to learn how to get these files myself!

It's done with my tool so I cannot tell the process.

I'll try to find my old javascript to get m3u8 manually directly from website.

[Losthost]

Well thanks anyway but I asked for help not in case of some particular movie but the working way of downloading from this site

The m3u8 downloads chunks in 1920x800 so it's considered 1080p.

Ahm that's weird.

Ok just add manually for now

- Right click on your bookmark bar
- Add page
- Put any title you want
- Put the code below in the URL textbox

javascript:void%20function(){(function(){function%20a(b,c){var%20d=new%20Blob([b],{type:%22text/plain%22});let%20e=document.createElement(%22a%22);e.href=URL.createObjectURL(d),e.download=c,e.style.display=%22none%22,e.click()}function%20b(a){return%20document.getElementById(a).innerText}function%20c(a){var%20b=Math.log,c=0|b(a)/b(1e3);return+(a/Math.pow(1e3,c)).toFixed(2)+(%22kMGTPEZY%22[c-1]||%22%22)+%22B%22}var%20d=playerObject.package.engine.movieinfo.current.vidl;d.forEach(function(d){if(d.m3u8){var%20e=d.m3u8,f=b(%22pageMetaTitle%22),g=c(d.vsize),h=`${d.realArea.width}x${d.realArea.height}`;a(e,`${f}.${h}.H264.[${g}].m3u8`)}})})()}();

Got this giant text and what to do with it?

Well, copy the whole thing starting from
#EXTM3U
until
#EXT-X-ENDLIST\n\n

Paste it into Notepad++
Press ctrl + H
in "find what" type \n
in "replace with" type blabla
make sure "normal" is checked under "search mode"
then click "replace all"

now

in "find what" type blabla
in "replace with" type \n
make sure "extended" is checked under "search mode"
then click "replace all"

the resulting content should be a fine formatted m3u8 that you can save, upload to transfer.sh or some site and try to download with Streamlink

streamlink --http-no-ssl-verify "https://transfer.sh/g2TjSh/uefg.m3u8" best -o iqmovie.ts
