Hi,

Seems to be a DRM protected file here : https://www.france.tv/enfants/trois-cinq-ans/mac-pat-le-chat-chanteur/6757819-emission...mbre-2024.html
MPD is here : https://cloudingest.ftven.fr/ftv/f/9e/f9e5ead9b3776/1be38a68-88d4-473b-809d-2023648633...m/manifest.mpd

Could anyone provide me the key, please ?

I did try Internet Download Manager too, which indeed worked with a VPN) - however I am as yet unable to get the French subtitles (with either approach) - which is a big part of the point - need the spoken language and French to go with it ideally!

if you have fresh nightly yt-dlp
and vpn with FR server this lines need to be working for subtitle

(with basic commands)

bestvideo + bestaudio + subtitles:

yt-dlp --no-warning --sub-langs "all" --write-subs --convert-subs "srt" -N "16" "LINK_HERE"

just subtitles:

yt-dlp --skip-download --no-warning --sub-langs "all" --write-subs --convert-subs "srt" -N "16" "LINK_HERE"

I'm trying to extract the subtitles from here: https://www.france.tv/france-4/belfort-lupin/saison-1/6985810-un-royal-mal-de-chien.html BUT when I do it gives me a separate .mp4 file I can't do anything with and if I try the above command I get a [ERROR: Preprocessing: Error opening output file: Invalid argument] message. I've tried to figure out this issue for far too long and have gone nowhere so far.

yt-dlp "https://www.france.tv/france-4/belfort-lupin/saison-1/6985810-un-royal-mal-de-chien.html" --write-sub --skip-download

This doesn't work. I have to link the .mpd for it to work.

[Attachment 85906 - Click to enlarge]
But even when I use the .mpd link it gives me errors.

[Attachment 85907 - Click to enlarge]
If I don't try to convert to .srt it gives me a broken .mp4 file I can't do anything with.

[amarok94]

This is what it gives me when I list all subtitles too
