Unable to Download Gilligan's Island from Tubi TV

[thejaceman]

I can get the series from a billion places, but Tubi's version seems to be leaps and bounds better than the versions streaming anywhere else. I can't seem to download them from Tubi TV though like I can anywhere else. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Since you aren't giving any details at all to what you've tried and why it doesn't work for you, here's some general advice:

1. The content on Tubi is encrypted with widevine DRM and will require decryption keys. In this case, you can use CDRM-project.com to get them.

2. In order to download, you need to locate the m3u8 file. Tubi will serve up several, but just pick the first one.

3. Use a downloader like N_m3u8DL-RE to download and decrypt the files in one go:

N_m3u8DL-RE --key e3bc428d657e47bc804407d3d3865cab:52b44716bbe2cdb7e5059e1df0472bb3 "https://manifest.production-public.tubi.io/2d5b6d32-51b7-4e4a-bdfe-c35ffdb86d57/sdwcus0fh7.m3u8?token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJjZG5fcHJlZml4IjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9jbG91ZGZyb250LnR1YmkudmlkZW8iLCJjb3VudHJ5IjoiVVMiLCJkZXZpY2VfaWQiOiI0MjAzMzMxNC1kMTFjLTRiODktOGY5Ni04MGRhYWM3MDI2ODAiLCJleHAiOjE2ODUwMDIyMDAsInBsYXRmb3JtIjoiV0VCIiwidXNlcl9pZCI6MH0.VKDXd84FQ0nMXdkxzQOHDcAeTmfg-eMz6Kv2ikLeirA&manifest=true" -M --format=mp4 -mt --save-name "Gilligan"

Thank you. I figured out where to fetch mp4decrypt from and that I had to put it in the same folder to make use of your command.

Now I have to do some additional searching and reading here on how to locate the information requested by the website you referenced. I'm a good reader, but most of the steps here in various threads aren't written in the most easily digestible format. Perhaps, if I'm able to work my way through Gilligan's journey, I'll take the time to write up a proper tutorial and create a video walkthrough as well. Documentation and teaching are what I do best.

I appreciate the tips.

I like to see it as a rite of passage to go information hunting in the beginning. This place is very public, and not having everything being clearly spelled out step by step might actually be a good thing. When things get too easy, services might change their ways and we all loose. Even though there are plenty of video tutorials and guides around here, you will have to spend some time searching and studying. Once you get over that initial hump, the posts won't be as cryptic and you'll join us on the other side where we decrypt everything but watch nothing.

Thankfully, Tubi is one of the easiest services to start with since there's no "trickery" involved. Find PSSH and license url and you've got a shiny set of keys.

Can't say that I agree with that at all. But I still appreciate the help.

I assume that I'm on somewhat the right track, as I was able to find a PSSH for the next episode of

AAAAOHBzc2gAAAAA7e+LqXnWSs6jyCfc1R0h7QAAABgSEEa3J+Zef0a+mLeMDlX6zCdI49yVmwY=

And when verifying the pssh on the widevine integration platform it does return information...

{
	"keyIds":["Rrcn5l5/Rr6Yt4wOVfrMJw=="],
	"protectionScheme":1667591779
}

I don't know if that's a guarantee that I have the correct PSSH, but I feel like it wouldn't have returned anything if I hadn't supplied a good PSSH.

Not really having much luck finding these license URLs though.

Assuming you're using Firefox, but if you hit F12 when the stream comes up, you can go to the network tab and type in "license" without quotations into the filter field at the top. There might be multiple options on the left pane, but try to find one that says "post", select it and in the right pane make sure POST is collapsed, not expanded, and it should give you the proper license URL.

Using that URL, the PSSH I located and basic header information, CDRM-Project was able to give me the widevine keys.

I tried about 7,000 (ok maybe 5) browsers. One of which, was Firefox. I used the search function on the forum here and used the Developer Options (F12) along with searching for license (no instances of "license" were found in the network tab. A few of "lic" but as soon as the next letter was typed, there was nothing left) and wild and method:POST and a variety of other things, and I never saw a license URL. At least not one that CDRM-Project accepted.

EDIT: Turns out I believe Adguard was blocking what I've needed all along. Not the browser extension, but the desktop application. Will report back soon.

Yup, that is the correct PSSH.

As far as finding licenses in general, filtering for "method:POST" is highly recommended since not every service will follow the same naming scheme. But in this particular case, the license is "https://license.adrise.tv/challenge? (...)" so it should be easily spotted.

Was coming back to post an update. I managed to get a "SUCCESS" from cdrm-project. Now, I just have to figure out what data to pull from it to pair with the CLI command tool.

ADDENDUM: Drats! I thought I had it. Copied your code from earlier and made what I thought were the necessary edits, but N_m3u8DL-RE is being rude.

I see it now! I had an unnecessary space in the command. Ok, now that I spotted that, let's grab episode 4 and then see if I can grab a couple of episodes on my own.

NEW ADDENDUM: Apparently I only grabbed the audio. Grrrrr!
NEXT ADDENDUM: And now, only a smaller resolution video.
FINAL ADDENDUM: Hooray!

[thejaceman]

I have now successfully grabbed 5 episodes in a row, so I believe that I have it figured out. The only thing is that I don't seem very good at picking the correct m3u8. My assumption is that the first one that appeared would be the smart choice, but it only has been 1 of the 5 times so far. Is there a "trick"?

[stabbedbybrick]

Nice work.

Tubi is slightly annoying in that they don't name their index files properly. The trick is to select an m3u8 and check the response tab on the right. If it contains links to various resolutions, that means you've got the correct index file.

Thanks! I'll check it out in the morning. I'm wiped out.

ADDENDUM: Response tab was a great tip! I'll do a few more of these manually (maybe the whole first season)... but then I think I'm going to start scripting something to automate a lot of this process.

[lvstrtrk]

What have people been using since CDRM-Project site went down? Is there an alternative to it?

[Karoolus]

WKS Keys if you want to learn how to do it yourself

or

https://keysdb.net
http://172.106.17.134:8080/

[lvstrtrk]

Neither of those sites worked for me.

[Karoolus]

Well then you're doing it wrong, I guess?
They use the same backend afaik

[lvstrtrk]

I put the PSSH in and hit enter and it gave me an error message. What should I have been doing?

inputting only the pssh would only work if the keys were already cached.

[cedric8528]

Don' know...everything seems to be ok.

Which url?
