I have no clue since i have no experience with this...

And can you explain how you created that code?
Because I would like to download a lot more episodes.

Thanks for your help!

[lomero]

[iamghost]

i tried yt-dl but it doesnt work

used N_m3u8DL-RE not yt-dl

https://github.com/nilaoda/N_m3u8DL-RE/releases
make sure all in one folder with ffmpeg and mp4decrypt

it work fine with me

[demoens]

I downloaded N_m3u8DL-RE and ffmpeg and put everything in the same folder.

Where can i download mp4decrypt?
I googled it but can't really find the download page.

[lomero]

don't search on google but simply search on this forum ....

anyway is here: https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/406642-mp4decrypt-for-32-bit-windows#post2664763

[demoens]

Downloaded everything, extracted and put in same folder.
Open CMD in that folder and pasted the code to download, but get an error:

[lomero]

but can you read ?

ffmpeg not found ... missing ... download and put on same folder with N_m3u8DL-RE

[demoens]

as you can see in the screenshot:
i downloaded ffmpeg, extracted the zip and placed the extracted data in the same folder as N_m3u8DL-RE.exe (same for mp4decrypt).
so i don't know why i get that error...

[lomero]

as you can see in the screenshot

what screenshot ??

[demoens]

the screenshot attached in post #16

Ok, this did the trick. Download succesfull! Thanks a lot. ��
Sorry for my ignorance, i have no experience with these things.

Could you also teach me how to generate the download code?
As i would like to get a lot more episodes (50+) from the site.

Thanks in advance.

[lomero]

my code above consists on 2 parts: the key and the mpd link

for the mpd link it's easy to find: open dev tool, play your video, amd from network tab search "mpd" and you can find it
the key for your site it's very hard to get by yourself
read some page on this forum, and maybe over 1 month you will have clearer ideas

happy reading

[demoens]

Well, the problem is that these episodes are only available till the end of this year.
So i'm afraid that i wont have time to figure this out by then.

Is there any other possible solution?
I would really like to download these episodes.

Following. I tried searching the forum but being on a linux pc doesn't help here. Most tooling I found was specific for Windows :'(

[demoens]

Getting the .mpd link is indeed easy, i'm able to get these.

The keys however are something else...
I have been reading the forum, but can't really get a grip on it.

Start here: https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/404994-Decryption-and-the-Temple-of-Doom

That has all you need to know to get started with finding the keys yourself, combined with the stuff that was already shared in this thread, that should be enough.
Little word of warning, the fact that it took you this long to just get a copy and paste example working, and you claim yourself that this is all "new" for you, the learning curve will be pretty steep. There is just that much hand holding people can do, you need to be pretty tech-savvy to get started with this stuff. If it was easy, everyone would do it

[rogerke]

Haha, I guess it ends here for me. No android box lying around. I wonder if it would work with an emulator in android studio...

[gnodde]

It does, but you are on your own getting it from there You can still use the Guide for reference as the steps are mostly identical, some things will be a bit different.

many users here use Linux. you might want to open a new thread for help request
anyway many tools we use here are also in Linux version too (yt-dlp - N_m3u8DL-RE - ffmpeg)
