Help downloading from VTM GO please (I get the wrong video)

[oopargentina]

Hi:
Well I managed to do almost everything right except some step, and for that reason I'm getting a wrong/shorter video. BTW, I use a free account. I can stream the complete actual video with it.

Could someone please tell me why I'm getting the wrong video?

I actually need to learn what I'm doing wrong to correct it, because I'd love to get many of those episodes to cut clips of artists I love, instead of having to screen capture them (something that actually works with Firefox + Movavi Screen Recorder), but I'd really love to get the source files, not screen capture quality.

Thanks so much in advance!

Need access.

all right.

from ffmpeg shot you have:
video
Duration: 00:49:04.56, start: 1906.560000, bitrate: 1678 kb/s
audio
Duration: 00:49:04.59, start: 1906.567256, bitrate: 69 kb/s

so, it seem your video and audio have the right length
have you tried to play with VLC only decryption video and decryption audio? the length is right?
then is ffmpeg issue when join audio+video

[oopargentina]

Mmm... I didn't try playing the individual decrypted files.
Let me try that

'yt-dlp' doesn't work here. Use other tools.

Decrypted audio lasts 17:18 --> https://we.tl/t-pwr0XPymmj
Decrypted video lasts 49:02 (yet not the correct video...) --> https://we.tl/t-UabR9U6cns

I know no other.
Could you please name one?
Thanks!

N_m3u8DL-RE (search on github)

put all keys on txt file (rename as key.txt) then run:
N_m3u8DL-RE -M format=mp4 --key-text-file key.txt "https://mpd_link"

or -M format=mkv
if you prefer mkv video final file

[lomero]

or also use clever to join video+audio (an amazing ffmpeg GUI, thanks to ProWo)
but you have incorrect audio file, so need to download again the right audio file only

[oopargentina]

thanks so much, @lomero.
No idea how to download the correct audio, but I'll give this a try.

N_m3u8DL-RE "mpd_link"
download audio only (use arrow key to select audio only)

then merge audio/video with ffmpeg or clever

Thanks so much !!!!!!!
