Downloading from France.tv

[roelsmaarten]

This summer, France.tv is airing another season of Fort Boyard. Is there any way to download these streams?

Thanks.

The videos from france.tv are no drm protected.

You just have to use yt-dlp to download the mpd.file

for example on this page :

https://www.france.tv/france-2/fort-boyard/fort-boyard-saison-31/1861611-equipe-ecole-...rraneenne.html

yt-dlp https://cloudreplay.ftven.fr/eb6127cbc3a26/1126856253_france-domtom_TA.ism/ZXhwPTE2NTU1NTIzODV+YWNsPSUyZmViNjEyN2NiYzNhMjYlMmYxMTI2ODU2MjUzX2ZyYW5jZS1kb210b21fVEEuaXNtKn5obWFjPTA2MDlmM2Y3ZmYzMTRiY2ExNjdiYzRmZjMzMGM0MDNiZWEwM2M0ZGVmMzY5ODM5NzY2MGQ4NDE2YzhlOGE1MmM=/manifest.mpd

This works also for complete episodes?

For example https://www.france.tv/france-2/un-si-grand-soleil/un-si-grand-soleil-saison-4/3414796-...-mai-2022.html

How do I get the complete yt-dlp code for an episode?

[cedric8528]

You just have to find the mpd file (via developer tools of your browser)

yt-dlp https://cloudreplay.ftven.fr/de79c39221926/1120122492_france-domtom_TA.ism/ZXhwPTE2NTU2NjkyMzJ+YWNsPSUyZmRlNzljMzkyMjE5MjYlMmYxMTIwMTIyNDkyX2ZyYW5jZS1kb210b21fVEEuaXNtKn5obWFjPTQxMjlmNTNjNjU1N2RjZWM3MDRjZTNkNGFkYTIyNzg0ZTEwMzE1NDQ2ZjRkYzFhYTIyN2QwN2ZjYjlmOGRjYjQ=/manifest.mpd

You can also use CaptvTy for all french Replay without Drm.

I think you need to sign up for an account first.
If you don't live in France then you might need a French IP otherwise it is most probably geoblocked.

Having a play with the Python above.

Goal is to rip Bluey, in French (to help my daughter learn French)

Url of an example episode:
https://www.france.tv/france-5/bluey/bluey-saison-1/2453695-le-xylophone-magique.html

I have to change a line above:

        # get_mpd_p1 = response2['streamroot']['content_id']
        get_mpd_p1 = response2['video']['url']

This then gives an output of:

https://cloudreplay.ftven.fr/ZXhwPTE3MTg0MzYzMTJ+YWNsPSUyZip+aG1hYz0xNjIyNWE5Mjg0ZDUwMDg3M2JiZmY4ZjllNjFhMmI0YTc5MjRmNWUzNTMzYzlhMmZlZWQ4ZmU4ZGUwYjc5N2Vj/666fba1e68566/1390441958-1717071596_france-domtom_TA.ism/manifest.mpd?hdnea=exp=1718415312~acl=%2f*~hmac=96ebef80ecea051e56b91734889c11e54b077b46bc36d33bf2a2bcc8424fecd0

...however I keep hitting 403 Forbidden on that when trying to get it with yt_dlp (or N_m3u8DL-RE for that matter).

I have tried yt-dlp with cookies from a logged in account for French TV 5...but still no go.

Perhaps it's a geo-block issue?

Any help would be appreciated!

[Obo]

Yes, seems to be geo-blocked, and you probably need the nightly version of yt-dlp as well; using a vpn I can at least query the formats of that video:

This episode is not encrypted. I was able to download it with IDM. I had to use a VPN first.

f.tv do not use any kind of encryption like the Beeb

The only problem is very aggressive IP blocking to .FR IP ranges

[pssh]

Goal is to rip Bluey, in French (to help my daughter learn French)

I have found that the NEW Once Upon a time series has much better educational value then Bluey

Yes it looks like a good series. Thank you.

[bossanova808]

Thanks folks, I have managed now to rip an episode using a VPN, albeit with PIA it's painfully slow and seems a bit of hit and miss, with still some forbidden errors.

But getting there, and thanks for show tip too!

[bossanova808]

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!

Here is the subtitles for this episode

[bossanova808]

Thanks, I an trying to set up to download a bunch of these though. How did you manage to get them - I tied adding qsm and srt to the options in IDM but they still didn't come up for me?

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"

Using IDM, select the highest resolution then copy the Download File Info > URL.
Then use cmd with where N_m3u8DL-RE.exe is installed.

N_m3u8DL-RE.exe "URL"

You get to choose video, audio and subtitles.

There might be an easier way, but I like to use IDM

[bossanova808]

Thankyou, will try soon!

Ok a final follow-up -

VPN not needed for this first bit:
I used the script from the Once Upon A Time... thread linked above to generate all the episode URLs from the 'All Videos' page
Then used the script above (with the change I listed above) to get all the manifest URLs, and from those generate a batch file of theseN_m3u8DL-RE.exe commands to do the actual ripping:

N_m3u8DL-RE.exe --ffmpeg-binary-path . -M mkv -sv best -sa best -ss all --save-name "Bluey (FR) - S1 E44 - Le mont Papamaman" "https://cloudreplay.ftven.fr/ZXhwPTE3MTg3ODM1MDZ+YWNsPSUyZip+aG1hYz03NTNiYzY5MTc3M2I2ODIxZTcxNTExNGM4MTg3OWI3MjdkM2VlOWE3YzFkYzM2MGU3ZDZlNjlmZGZkMjg4ZDEw/22d696ccb8666/1396538942-1718140301_france-domtom_TA.ism/manifest.mpd?hdnea=exp=1718762506~acl=%2f*~hmac=ccc4b2bcd2848fb8d39ffd8be265d3c753dc437ecf9418f5af4fc6b3853733d8&selected_id=video=5000000"

VPN _was_ required for actual ripping:
Turned on the VPN connected to France and then ran that batch file, and let it run a few hours...


Result: I could rip all available episodes (and then I followed up with the Once Upon show...also worked perfectly)

Thanks everyone for the help, much appreciated!

(note I just could not get yt-dlp to work consistently with the same manifest URLs...)
