[monsterbubble]

I just tested my original CDM on a differet website and i was able to get keys


[Attachment 72918 - Click to enlarge]

Just not with CBS. I'll try out those CDMs and see. Thank you!

[monsterbubble]

UPDATE: So i try one of the other CDM and i was able to get the key from cbs. So, it was basically my CDM version.

Many thanks to all who helped.

[Attachment 72909 - Click to enlarge]

YES iamghost, THANK YOU!! The "Authorization:Bearer ..." string added to the HEADERS was the final missing piece I needed! I never would have known to add that. [That's why you're the expert and I'm the noob.] BTW, I did not need the PROXY. This worked at "https://keysdb.net" and "http://172.106.17.134:8080". Have not yet verified "https://getwvkeys.cc" as I'm still waiting for approval.

I know I'm being lazy -- just wanted the quickest solution for now. But I guess you guys are telling me I really need to setup my own L3 CDM so I can stop relying on these other sites. THANKS TO ALL for your clues/help in getting to the solution!

[zimmerma379]

Down another rabbit hole here. Decided to see if I could set up a CDM. Since "cdrm-project.com" is now gone, could not get WKS-Keys. Snooped around for quite awhile looking for it or something else, but was unsuccessful. ;-(

UPDATE #1: Finally got WKS-Keys from "cdm-project.com/CDM-Tools/WKS-Keys" via Wayback Machine from 2023-01-11 capture. Copied CDM from Karoolus's post #44 above [tried all 4 sets]. Updated "headers.py" with "authorization" string. Tried protobuf v3.19.5 & v3.20.3. Every invocation gives "unable to parse license - check protobufs" error. ;-( User "monsterbubble", starting in post #47 above, had same problem. Maybe I don't understand the setup properly?

UPDATE #2: DOH! It's WORKING! I had a stale "Authorization" string value in my headers!

Thanks AGAIN for all your help guys!

Thank you so much!

Do you mind to briefly explain how you did this?
I tried reading some post and managed to find the manifest.mpd and the getlicense request with Chrome Dev Tools. After this I tried using wks-keys, modified the headers.py with all headers from the getlicense request, ran l3.py, input the PSSH from the manifest.mpd (the first, short one from "<Period id="0"...") and the getlicense request url.
But I always ended up with an error: "TypeError: 'body' must be a bytes-like object, file-like object, or iterable. Instead was 1"

ah right, my downloader does this automatically so I forgot to mention that

Have you posted that downloader publicly?
Care to share how the downloader handles the ads?

Also, I swear to God, when I opened the first link, Stream Detector gave me 2 mpds*... and seems like the one was without the ads. And that one wasn't present in network tab. Really weird.
It was really weird to me because I was deleting the lines of the mpd with ads, saved it, and accidentally saw that it has the same size now, like the one without ads (I actually had no idea that the other mpd was one without ads, thought it was a separate mpd with only ads or something).

I manually edit my .mpd files to get rid of the ads. If someone has an automated way, I would love to hear it
I open the .mpd into notepad++
Got to View -> Fold Level -> 2
Now everything is "closed"/"folded"
Highlight each section that looks similar to:

  <Period id="mid-roll-4-ad-1" duration="PT30.03S">

Shift+Right arrow then delete the line/lines all with mid or pre-roll ads.

Thanks for this.

Oh my God... if I turn off the VPN, the video doesn't play, but mpd without ads actually shows up.
ROFL!

There's some lucky star I was born under... I think I'm one of the few people on earth that accidentally finds "bugs" like this.
Also I'm really exhausted and can't wait to go to bed so I might be missing something here, will check again tomorrow when I'll be fresh.

Hi everyone,

I ran into a problem with the mpd link for the first time today. I'm trying to download this video: https://www.cbs.com/shows/video/3vqB7GPCccvxordyZGPaNDkkfA__V3Jx/

There was always one mpd link found by eme logger and it was quite simple (no ad info there), e.g.

https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/ondemand/dash/content/2497752/vid/3vqB7GPCccvxordyZGPaNDkkfA__V3Jx/TUL/streams/d828ea71-2a06-4e3d-9533-d90c0d11ba02/manifest.mpd?CMCD=ot%3Dm%2Csf%3Dd%2Csid%3D%222ab66ea5-fc02-4e70-84ac-f0f94fe86ef2%22%2Csu

But now, when trying to download, the timing of the video and audio does not match - only the subtitles download correctly and have the correct timing. The downloaded video is an ad instead of an episode, and not even the one that occurs before the episode and definitely shorter than the timing listed.


[Attachment 74647 - Click to enlarge]

Turning on/off adblock doesn't help, nor does switching between different IP addresses (I use vpn). CBS has made it harder to get links for a while now - previously it was possible to do it without vpn.

Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

[Mich79]

If someone could download this video for me, I'd sure appreciate it. Thank you in advance for any help!

Thanks for your replies iamghost & Karoolus! I was following a process I used some time ago for itvX videos. I would find the PSSH using a Tampermonkey "EME Logger" user-script. I would get the license & MPD URLs from Chrome DevTools. And then use "cdrm-project" to get the key.

But I think something is different here with this CBS URL? Are they not using MPDs? The "EME Logger" user-script does NOT find a PSSH. When I use "N_m3u8DL-RE" to process the MPD URL I did find [https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/<...>/manifest.mpd...], it was the COMMERCIAL that plays beforehand; NOT the actual video.

Another MPD URL then appears, which looks promising, but the MPD portion is the MPD for the ad again:
https://secure-dcr.imrworldwide.com/cgi-bin/gn?prd=dcr<...>&c66=mediaurl,https%253A%252F%252Fp ubads.g.doubleclick.net%252Fondemand%252Fdash%252F content%252F2497752%252Fvid%252FgPd2a68tmV_XuX3lBK KQFtrPTStW8Lxb%252FDLS%252Fstreams%252F8621e8e8-b8e5-4a86-a3c6-247d1a8b15ba%252Fmanifest.mpd

I also see some M3U8 URLs, but they are just a bunch of hex as text:
https://bakere97c485.airspace-a.cbsivideo.com/measurements/100KB.m3u8?rnd=14-1-10787-1...Iik-waQAQCYAQA

So I'm stuck. Any further tips would be appreciated.

UPDATE: OK, so I see now that the first MPD URL I see [https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/<...>/manifest.mpd...]] seems to be the one I want. But there are so many elements in it -- I'm not sure yet which are for the commercial(s) that I should delete. Also, I still can NOT find the PSSH.

https://www.cbs.com/shows/video/gPd2a68tmV_XuX3lBKKQFtrPTStW8Lxb

My process is pretty basic.
As everyone advised already; if you have WKS-Keys or one of the other solutions to get the keys......, this is my process:

Load your video of choice from cbs with Dev Tools open.
On Network Tab, search for .mpd and play video.

The one .mpd it loads, right click on it and save it somewhere.
Also with .mpd file selected in Network tab, view response.
If you scroll down a bit you'll see the PSSH, it's the shorter one.

You can use that as others pointed out with your preferred method to get keys.

I manually edit my .mpd files to get rid of the ads. If someone has an automated way, I would love to hear it
I open the .mpd into notepad++
Got to View -> Fold Level -> 2
Now everything is "closed"/"folded"
Highlight each section that looks similar to:

  <Period id="mid-roll-4-ad-1" duration="PT30.03S">

Shift+Right arrow then delete the line/lines all with mid or pre-roll ads.
re-save file.
Run through like imaghost showed above, you should get video file without ads.

How to remove all ads from this .mpd file please help ?

Thank you so much for the help iamghost.

The latest version of dash-mpd-cli has a pretty nifty feature for ignoring Periods which contain advertising. You give it an XPath expression that matches elements you want to drop/ignore when downloading. Here, something like

dash-mpd-cli -v --drop-elements "//mpd:Period[contains(@id, '-ad-')]" https://site/manifest.mpd

(Can't actually check because the manifest here has expired.)
