How to download from discoveryplus(free videos)

[Hammer]

Good afternoon, I wanted to download the stream from:
https://www.discoveryplus.com/it/video/deal-with-it-stai-al-gioco/stagione-6-episodio-1
I get a mpd link, but it is the advertisement, but nothing regarding the video. I tried checking the network tab, but I didn't see anything strange except a long list of dash links that end with "master-video=1234567-12345.dash" or "master-audio=1234567-12345.dash"
If you could help me downloading this show, thank you a lot.

Thank you both I didn't try this.

Was the video encrypted?

Discovery+ is a subscription based streaming site, which we are not supposed to discuss. However, some shows appear to be "free" and the UK channels are mainly free-to-air (like Quest and Really) so I guess we can continue.
d+ has indeed recently changed. I'm currently working on suitable script for myself. Yes, it is L3 encrypted and getting the key is relatively straight forward.
As you've discovered, using straight forward yt-dlp --allow-u will give you one advert (albeit in glorious 1080p lol).
It's similar in someways to STV encrypted, in that there's a ton of adverts to download (which are unencrypted) and the main video is usually split into 3 or 4 chunks (encrypted). If you use this (as a start) you can download the 1080p streams and m4a audio:

os.system(f'yt-dlp  --allow-u -f all[height=1080]  -o  encryptVid.%(format_id)s.%(ext)s -N 6 "{mpd_url}"')
os.system(f'yt-dlp  --allow-u -f all[vcodec=none][ext=m4a]  -o  encryptAud.%(format_id)s.%(ext)s -N 6 "{mpd_url}"')

To get rid of the adverts I'm using:

for filename in os.listdir():
    if filename.endswith('.m4a') and (os.path.getsize(filename) < 2000000):
        os.remove(filename)
    if filename.endswith('.mp4') and (os.path.getsize(filename) < 50000000):
        os.remove(filename)

basically, get rid of all audio files of size < 2MB and video files of size < 50MB (hopefully, all the adverts).

Then you're left with the "true" (none advert) streams. Some shows have different bitrates for audio and/or video (so you will need to remove the lower spec'd ones), most shows are split over 3-4 files so after decryption they will need joining together.

It's that last sentence I'm just working on at the moment: to automate it so that the script caters for all d+ downloads.

ADDENDUM: I now notice that the OP was talking about the Italian d+. I live in the UK, so I'm looking at the UK d+. I'm assuming both use similar techniques.

At present Discovery Italy uses a different layout. And as mentioned above yt-dlp has a specific extractor for the service
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/yt_dlp/extractor/discovery.py
And n-m3u8dl-re works with no issues on the service.
