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 or ytdlp or something

And this one works too!
Guys you're the best. Yesterday I was desperate, today I have not one but two ways to be happy!

There is actually recent Pull Request on ydlp

https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/pull/2354

[Losthost]

And one more question that doesn't quite belong here but maybe you can point me in right direction.
I have iQiyi app on my tv and in my browser on PC, in both of them I'm logged in same account. But TV lets me watch the movie in 4K and on PC I can run it in only 1080p. So there is 4K resolution hidden somewhere. Any ideas how can I get it on PC?

I'm talking about this movie - https://www.iq.com/play/beauty-of-tang-men-2021-1g18je1p98g?lang=en_us
Right now I started it in chrome and have only 1080p resolution and on my TV it's running in 4K. Can that be because I run Windows in 1920 resolution (but Youtube lets me choose 4K) and if you think this can be the problem is there any way to trick iq into thinking I have 4K resolution windows?

There was 4k actually, but they removed it already so max 1080p only available.

[Losthost]

But it's still available through android app on tv

Oh that's good. But it's very different process with browser.
I could do it (on my tool not js script etc). But I don't have 4k TV =D

you have try with "Memu and Fiddler" for PC?
Memu App Player (Android Emulator for PC)
Fiddler - Capture Android Traffic

https://www.telerik.com/blogs/how-to-capture-android-traffic-with-fiddler

Maybe it working because Hevc-h265 (2k-4K resolution) only for android app

Hello again!
That's me once more with continuation of my question.
I installed iQiyi app for PC - not iq.com but full iQiyi.com cause it has more options for resolution, like 4K and tried to sniff up m3u8 through HTTPS debugger. That's what I got when ran desired movie in 4K through their app (screen - https://c2n.me/4eNDHkT.png).
I copied the code, run all these /n options and got this file (in attachment)
But I can't seem to download anything through it. What may be the problem?

[Losthost]

Nope, got update. Ran debugger second time, got another m3u8 link, now it works (attached). But it downloads file that runs ok only for first 6 minutes - then video goes missing, like it doesn't let me watch the movie if I'm not logged into account. But I logged into account and can watch the movie in full in app. Does anyone has any ideas what can I do in this case?

What is the error when you try to download the m3u8?
Looks like this is your problem the first line has many spaces.

               #EXTM3U
#EXT-X-KEY:METHOD=NONE
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:10
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXTINF:9.000000,

Could you send also the json response of that cache.video.iqiyi.com?

[Losthost]

Maybe there is some problem because of these red notices on the screenshot?

[Losthost]

I don't know where to look?

Just copy the whole response details from your screenshot to notepad and save as json

[zackmark29]

Ahm don't know that error. But maybe because of the spaces on the first line

[Losthost]

Like that?

[zackmark29]

Like that?

Yup thanks. Also the cache link (I forgot to tell)

Did you solve already?

No, don't mind the first file with spaces, I made another one (in next comment), this one downloads the movie but there are still errors and the movie runs ok only for first 6 minutes, then video goes missing.

[Losthost]

Yup thanks. Also the cache link (I forgot to tell)

Like that?
http://cache.video.iqiyi.com/dash?tvid=6367291687831500&uid=2412484609&ut=1&ps=0&d=1&p...1b0f4711274d60

Did you solve already?

Right now i can download the movie but get red notices and the file that I get plays ok only for first six minutes like I wrote before.

[zackmark29]

Ah just ignore that error.
It's just from this line:
#EXT-X-KEY:METHOD=NONE

[zackmark29]

yes because it's trailer/preview only.

[Losthost]

The file i get is .ts if it's matters - first six minutes are playable and then it's like corrupted. Well if you download it through this m3u8 link, you'll see.

[Losthost]

yes because it's trailer/preview only.

[Attachment 63153 - Click to enlarge]

So is there a way to get full one? Right now I'm in app and play it further on timer but still get this line in JSON

I see it's DRM protected. Haven't encounter DRM from iq

[zackmark29]

Try to find the license url and the full content. I cannot help much since I don't see it in actual.
Try to see if there's another cache url when you start playing the video

Hi, I try a app to grab url on my phone, but it seems also can only play the first 6min. So I want to take a try on PC. I wonder did you install IQIYI into the Android Emulator for PC? And use fiddler to grab the m3u8 url? Look forward to your reply.

[luvmichelle]

I'm not able to download from iq.com anymore. I think they change the system or something?

[LZAA]

Url?

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

Can I save the file into mp4 directly? Just change to iqmovie.mp4?

I'm not sure. But you can use ffmpeg to do that.

ffmpeg -i iqmovie.ts -c copy iqmovie.mp4
