Crash course on downloading ITVx hub please?

[theoofoof]

I'm really not tech-y at all and am struggling to download from ITVx. Is there someone who would be able to do it for me? I need a clip from a longer show for a presentation I'm doing. I'd really appreciate the help.

Here is the link to the show on ITVx: https://www.itv.com/watch/this-morning/1a1960/2a6292a1101

Does anyone else have problems using yt-dlp or n_m3u8dl to download from ITVx? the download always fails with the SSLV3_ALERT_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE error.

That looks like a VPN issue to me.

I can watch the videos on their site fine, it's only when I fire up yt-dlp or n_m3u8dl that everything falls apart
EDIT: It is the VPN, Surfshark had problems with STV as well so I don't know why I'm surprised.

...so uh, any way to make this work w/ Surfshark at all?

[ampersand]

...so uh, any way to make this work w/ Surfshark at all?

haven't found any, but I got windscribe with 25 gb (I think) of free traffic per month and now I'm using that to DL from ITV

Thank you so much! Really appreciate this!

I'm trying to download
https://www.itv.com/watch/good-morning-britain/2a3211

I've downloaded the mp4 and m4a files just fine with yt-dlp and I know how to decrypt them with mp4decrypt. However I can't get the keys:

I found the KID in the MPD
A7BA890F-726E-49E7-AAB5-39E40E5A011D

but I don't know if I'm using the PSSH generator correctly
https://tools.axinom.com/generators/PsshBox

I got this PSSH
AAAAOHBzc2gAAAAA7e+LqXnWSs6jyCfc1R0h7QAAABgSEKe6iQ 9ybknnqrU55A5aAR1I49yVmwY=

But when I try it at CDRM-project I'm not sure if the problem is geo-restriction on ITVX.

Can anyone give me a clue?

[update - wow, this is nutty. I tried to screen-record and it somehow detects Quicktime being used to screen-record on my mac. Had no idea that was possible ]

how do you get 1080p on itv, do you need premium or what?

[LastResort]

I'm hoping someone could help me with what is probably an easy thing to do but I am at a loss.... Download encrypted itv progs is no problem,... finding the getlicence is not a problem,..
my only problem is trying to get tampermonkey to show me the Licencerequest.... Using chrome, i go to console tab, type in "get" without the quotes... click play on video,.... and nothing happens... I've tried clearing cookies,... refreshing the page and still nothing. all i have (which may or may not have anything to do with the problem I'm having, is that tampermonkey has a small red box with a number 2 in it)... Sorry I've forgotten what is called, maybe notifications. Sometimes during the refresh the console tab shows some items during a refresh but they only stay on screen within chrome for a few seconds then disappear. Any help with my stupidity would be gratefully received,... or at least put me out of my misery. lol

Update:

Decided to download the latest portable version of chrome from portableapps.com, added stream detector, tamper monkey, added eme logger script, and all seems to be working fine,...
I've no idea why it won't work correctly on my installed version, but hey,... as long as it's working.

Thanks for this - it's allowed me to update my batch script as below. Not looked at for 18 months. I believe that not all ITV programmes have licenses to view hence some problems to download. Cannot achieve all key/kid combos via CDMR-Project (but could be corrected on this..... )

Anyway my batch file for what it's worth....

No idea... I've not looked into it enough. I was just told early on that it was L1. You do have to be careful that the 'ITVX' 1080p content is actually from ITVX and not STV.

So your Tour de France one has tow 720p streams - no 1080p

video=2304000 mp4 1280x720    25 │ 2304k dash  │ avc1.640020 2304k video only         DRM DASH video, mp4_dash
video=3403968 mp4 1280x720    25 │ 3404k dash  │ avc1.640020 3404k video only         DRM DASH video, mp4_dash

The Agatha Christie's Marple one only has the one 720p stream - no 1080p

video=3361584 mp4 1280x720    25 │ 3362k dash  │ avc1.640028 3362k video only         DRM DASH video, mp4_dash

Yeah, soz, looking at it the wrong way round!

Is there any way to 'scrape' mpd's to find which, if any, have 1080p streams?

I'm hoping someone could help me with what is probably an easy thing to do but I am at a loss.... Download encrypted itv progs is no problem,... finding the getlicence is not a problem,..
my only problem is trying to get tampermonkey to show me the Licencerequest.... Using chrome, i go to console tab, type in "get" without the quotes... click play on video,.... and nothing happens... I've tried clearing cookies,... refreshing the page and still nothing. all i have (which may or may not have anything to do with the problem I'm having, is that tampermonkey has a small red box with a number 2 in it)... Sorry I've forgotten what is called, maybe notifications. Sometimes during the refresh the console tab shows some items during a refresh but they only stay on screen within chrome for a few seconds then disappear. Any help with my stupidity would be gratefully received,... or at least put me out of my misery. lol

Update:

Decided to download the latest portable version of chrome from portableapps.com, added stream detector, tamper monkey, added eme logger script, and all seems to be working fine,...
I've no idea why it won't work correctly on my installed version, but hey,... as long as it's working.

Thanks for this - it's allowed me to update my batch script as below. Not looked at for 18 months. I believe that not all ITV programmes have licenses to view hence some problems to download. Cannot achieve all key/kid combos via CDMR-Project (but could be corrected on this..... )

Anyway my batch file for what it's worth....

Thanks for this, it worked for me. I couldn't for the life of me get portable Chrome to install so I used portable Firefox instead. Then CDRM-project.com shut down so I used keysdb.net and now that seems to have gone the way of all things - just when I was getting to understand a little of what I was doing. Anyway, just wanted to says thanks for your contribution.

I personally have no idea whether ITVX produces 1080p streams on the various streaming platforms, whether they be L1 or L3 encrypted. Britbox (ITVX predecessor) was the same, only 720p. 1080p can be obtained by signing up to ITVX/ Britbox through an Amazon account. However, much of ITVX new content is not featured on there anymore, so that's become a waste of time and money.

STV indeed gives 1080p (on most new material), but that will only cover you for ITV1 channel. Not ITV2/3/4/Be/Citv.

I do have to laugh at what UK TV streaming webplayers define as 1080p though. 1080p is merely a resolution. 1080p containing crap visual quality streams is still crap visual quality. UK TV Webplayer 1080p's are so full of visual compression artefacts, they are a million miles away from true broadcast quality 1080p as obtained from DVB tuners (iplayer 1080p can be OK sometimes). Very much like modern TV programmes in general though: dumbed down programmes (as per ITVBe content), dumbed down visual quality. Oh, and dumbed down audio quality as well (even 128Kbps is shit). I guess to suit our dumbed down modern generations.

I will give the likes of Amazon and Netflix their due though, visual quality can be very good, as with the audio. But, you pay for that and is outside this site's remit in terms of any decryption advice.

1080p was possible from Britbox UK. 1080p is possible from ITVX (I believe L1 protected though)

I don't know what I am doing wrong. I am unable to get my yt-dlp to download. I am trying to get this: https://www.itv.com/watch/the-stand-up-sketch-show/2a5923/2a5923a0002
