Can someone help me to download a video from tvnow.de?

[elika]

I have tried to download this video with yt-dlp, but I'm always getting an error, even if I add options I found in other threads here.

It can only be watched with a premium account, but it's possible to get it for 1 month for free.
I just want to download this one video, so I would be really grateful, if someone can tell me how to download the video or can download it for me.

Now I was able to download the encrypted files with yt-dlp, but it's not working for me to get the keys. I have tried this approach https://cdm-project.com/cdm-tools/how-to with an emulated Android, but I don't get the client_id.bin and private_key.pem files. Can maybe someone help me with that?

Maybe ask there first?

Cdrm don't work to get the key...problem geo-loc

you have to dump your own L3 cdm from an android Device (virtual or physical) to get the key for your site.

Would you mind explaining how you dealt with the [Key] field in the license request? I keep getting this error:

license response status: <Response [200]>
server reports: {"status":"denied","message":"Field [key] is not set or null."}

I tried adding it to headers as key = 'xxxxxxx' but that did not work. Would really appreciate any help.

[cedric8528]

in the headers file, you just need "x-auth-token"

Many thanks for the file. But it's just the first 14:30 minutes. Is it maybe possible to download the full 43:31 minutes?

[scryclwn]

Damn, I curled the wrong license.

Thanks! Appreciate the response.

I have also tried to decrypt the video with the key and mp4decrypt, but it's still black. I have downloaded the video and audio like this: "yt-dlp --allow-unplayabl https://vodnowusoawsdash-a.akamaihd.net/x.ism/.mpd"
Is the key maybe different when I'm on a macOS using the Brave browser?

Try this one:

Yes, it works with this key Thank you!
Finally I was able to decrypt it, after sitting the whole day on this.

[cedric8528]

if you want you can do that in one step with N_m3u8DL-RE (with the good key from Larits )

https://github.com/nilaoda/N_m3u8DL-RE

N_m3u8DL-RE -M format=mp4 --key 951fd6bc3a447705f4a49bfa39e7350c:67e641381a466744af512909ff05e57d "https://vodnowusoawsdash-a.akamaihd.net/p11114/manifest/rtlplushd/5375577-2/10000.ism/.mpd"

Thanks, maybe another time.
I just put everything together with ffmpeg.

You're using incorrect decryption keys.

[machitza]

I guess that... so where can i get the key... ?
Thanks!

[stabbedbybrick]

You'll need access to a CDM, either your own or with a service like https://cdrm-project.com/. Read the sticky threads in the forum for more information,

Or you could post your video here and someone might get them for you. Just be aware that if premium/subscription is required, you need to share credentials.

[machitza]

wow nice script mate

wow nice script mate

thanks, I don't have a premium account, but from the way the site is set up
i think only need to change the top to add token and not request from "nothing"
then it will work with premium content too

[machitza]

thanks everybody ! it worked.... now can someone help for modules? i got No module named 'pywidevine.L3'. i did >pip install pywidevine...

[sk8ordi3]

thanks everybody ! it worked.... now can someone help for modules? i got No module named 'pywidevine.L3'. i did >pip install pywidevine...

this script is based on the old wks pywidevine, if you installed pywidevine via pip it will not work
you will have to modify the script or

pip uninstall pywidevine -y

and you have to get the old wks pywidevine.zip
and unzip it and put it where the script is
and you will also need a working L3 cdm
and put the two files
device_client_id_blob, device_private_key
here:
pywidevine\L3\cdm\devices\android_generic\

[machitza]

is there a easier way to get the mpd file from the webpage ? it seems i tried many pieces of software and i forgot how to get that

[Karoolus]

You can just start the video on the website and look in the developer console for the MPD URL.

[Mart006]

@sk8ordi3, thanks for your script, i downloaded crypted video/audio files of other show, used your script but after running mp4decrypt with that key it returns still crypted content, so there's no audio and video looks exactly the same as before mp4decrypt.
I even tried it with the same links to source files from this topic (got exactly the same key) and same result.

Am i missing some step somewhere?

[sk8ordi3]

no problem for me, are you using german vpn anyway?

Yes, it's working fine when I'm viewing it in the browser
