download from VRT MAX

[ErikDB]

I couldn't wait, and figured out how to use 'Tampermonkey', the 'EME Logger', 'HTTP Toolkit' and the python script vrt.py (uploaded earlier in this thread).

I was able to download the first episode, hooray!

I wish I had taken notes...

Anyway, I now re-learned how to get the PSSH and the payload token. But there seems to be something wrong...
URL = https://www.vrt.be/vrtmax/a-z/het-eiland/1/het-eiland-s1a2/

Enter PSSH : AAAAXXBzc2gAAAAA7e+LqXnWSs6jyCfc1R0h7QAAAD0iNXZpZC1kaXMtMTA2Mzc0MGItMDBjMC00OTFiLTlkOWQtZWQyOWEwMDJmMDU0XzVfSEQyMDIySOPclZsG

Enter payload token : vrt|2025-04-09T11:52:18Z|v2|dQFHF/DFb0NkoM4OM9W9Ri7LdGA4u5RgckmZh0NM4xwSrVVAx2cHP3A0vuQK3eNGpCCjKdwUclYA4edgEE05AHp9a4X+VzVhUSM2K3mWJDPqcGPyDckdfkbMA1RiW3Tv|bc5d076c53ff312e02b74190592123a6e1c5c715da37f9eba740e01be90afd5b

And then the script stops.

Give this a go:

https://files.videohelp.com/u/303646/vrt.py

Get your API key from https://keysdb.net
Login with Discord
Go to your profile page
Copy your API key

It looks like that URL is dead. Could that have anything to do with why the script doesn't work anymore?

If anyone has any idea what I'm doing wrong, or what I should be doing instead?

Thanks in advance!

Why don't you use Widevineproxy2 to get Keys and command....

It takes 2 minutes to install the extension and load L3 cdm available and offer by generous people in sticky thread

Does that work for VRT? I just tried it, but alas:

(It worked on https://bitmovin.com/demos/drm...)

[ErikDB]

there is script for this, you will need your WVD to get it work
cmd would be like

VRTMAX-DL.py --wvd "C:/wvd.wvd "vrt video url"

https://files.videohelp.com/u/301156/vrt.zip

used firefox browser only

If I use this on my Linux Mint machine, I get this:

$ python VRTMAX-DL.py --wvd device_wvd_file.wvd https://www.vrt.be/vrtmax/a-z/het-eiland/1/het-eiland-s1a2/

Looks like the same error...?

You're right... Firefox did the trick. Why didn't I try that...?

Anyway, thanks!
