Can I download from CBS.com?

[LuckyBold]

Hi everyone,

I'm creating a new thread as I didn't find a similar problem.

I've been trying to download a video from CBS (episodes are available to everyone a week after the TV premiere) with the methods extensively described throughout the forum, but now I'm stuck.
Video: https://www.cbs.com/shows/video/OcWFU93eHKOTNkyKx_t0Ip45ImQH3XHB/
Found PSSH:

AAAAWHBzc2gAAAAA7e+LqXnWSs6jyCfc1R0h7QAAADgIARIQBOQb6OSxQta5AivsyHJxZiIgT2NXRlU5M2VIS09UTmt5S3hfdDBJcDQ1SW1RSDNYSEI4AQ==

Found License:

https://cbsi.live.ott.irdeto.com/widevine/getlicense?CrmId=cbsi&AccountId=cbsi&SubContentType=Default&ContentId=OcWFU93eHKOTNkyKx_t0Ip45ImQH3XHB

Default headers on getwvkeys (I leave them as they are):

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:106.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/106.0

I get this error:

{ "code":400, "error":true, "message": "Failed to get license: 403 Forbidden"}.

I wonder whether I found the correct license or if I should change something with the headers or use a proxy? Videos on CBS.com are geo-blocked for me, but I had no problem getting the keys from eg. ctv.ca. Also, I didn't need a VPN to get a PSSH and URL license from CBS.

If anyone is sure that it is simply impossible to download from CBS, please let me know.
Thanks!

Huge thanks for the key, cedric8528 - it worked beautifully, but I ran into another problem. Everything merged correctly, but the mpd link downloaded only the last 5 minutes of the episode (I tried to use aria2c as well, same result).

I used this link:

Do you perhaps know what the problem is?

I wonder whether I found the correct license or if I should change something with the headers or use a proxy?

maybe you need to use in header request a parameter authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsImt...etc. but it's hard to figure it out.

Yes, you're absolutely right. I should've checked it as well.

Thank you all, I really appreciate your help.

I'm using a working US proxy with cdrm-project.com using the default headers but get the response:

I've tried adding bits to the headers such as referer & authorization but then get a different error.

I'd like to know if it's possible to get the keys with cdrm-project.com or WKS-KEYS.

WKS-KEYS:

--key 7c991b01c5f74df1af96ea98721564c0:105277d8d161018700dedd494559a7b3

edit: cdrm didn't work for me, but i notice that the headers contain "authorization" parameter, which is probably necessary

[synopeas]

Thanks ampersand, the keys worked. I tried to do this myself with WKS-KEYS but got "unable to parse license - check protobufs"

[cedric8528]

I need a Vpn usa to watch CBS video....and I need to keep it connected to get the keys.
Otherwise I have the same message as you.

I hope you have valid L3 cdm...

[synopeas]

Thanks cedric. The cdm is valid. You were right, I needed a VPN for WKS-KEYS as well. I also needed to weed out the unnecessary headers.

[ampersand]

Thanks cedric. The cdm is valid. You were right, I needed a VPN for WKS-KEYS as well. I also needed to weed out the unnecessary headers.

I didn't have to weed out any headers with WKS
Generally with WKS whatever site I've tried (and it isn't that many) the headers from what curl-converter gives me always seem to be fine
But yes, a VPN is a must-have

[codehound]

Thats not a bad generalization to be fair. Although many sites require literally none at all. Others only need just the 'token(s)' or unique variable value(s) passing.

Generally with WKS whatever site I've tried (and it isn't that many) the headers from what curl-converter gives me always seem to be fine

My experience ist just the opposite. With nearly each site that worked with WKS I had to delete at least some headers.

I, too, am having trouble downloading from CBS.com! I used to be able to download full episodes for years but it seems they have changed something. The only thing I can download now are ads. The video itself won't download. Does anyone have any help. Here's an example video:

You can download it with N_m3u8DL-RE and the good key to decrypt your video.
