Is there any way to batch download from places like channel4 and ITV?

[col451]

There are several scripts for channel4 and ITV here which are great for single epiosdes. But is there a way to batch download entire season? Or somehow get keys and mpd for each episode so I can make a simpler batch from that? I know how to use N_m3u8DL-RE or yt-dlp for download and decrypt but using those scripts for entire seasons is a lot of work. I'm not complaining of course, I'm very grateful! I'm just wondering if there is a way to make them work for many episodes? Also, I hear that channel4 have 2 1080p versions whith one that is better. Is that possible to get also or is it only for certain devices like TV?

Like this great show on channel4 for example: https://www.channel4.com/programmes/spin-city. It has 100+ episodes. Downloading just first season I will have to run the script over 20 times.

Or this ITV show: https://www.itv.com/watch/supernatural/34139. Using the script by angela I will have to visit each page of 200+ episodes before downloading.

Would appreciate any advice thank you!

To fully automate the whole process and download a specified amount of episodes or seasons, you'll need a script that goes through the service API to fetch episode data. And yes, it's possible to get the better 1080p version(~5000kbps) on Channel4.

I've made my own scripts that I can't share at the moment, but I can give you MPD's and keys if you want to make something out of that.

Or this ITV show: https://www.itv.com/watch/supernatural/34139. Using the script by angela I will have to visit each page of 200+ episodes before downloading.

Would appreciate any advice thank you!

Christ! You do want your cake with jam on it don't you?
I've just looked at series 1 - 20 episodes

https://www.itv.com/watch/supernatural/34139/1a7454a0023
https://www.itv.com/watch/supernatural/34139/1a7454a0024
https://www.itv.com/watch/supernatural/34139/1a7454a0025
and so on

https://www.itv.com/watch/supernatural/34139/1a7454a0042

so the last two digits simply increment from 23 to 42 - in the case of series 1

You can code for that yourself in an incrementing loop (any language you like - even a spread sheet) and print each title. Then you copy that the clipboard of 20 urls for bestITVX to download. Repeat for each series.

Surprised you couldn't think of that.

There is some json contained in a html script object called __NEXT_DATA__ and if you can parse all that you'll find a series load of these

playlistUrl": "https://magni.itv.com/playlist/itvonline/ITV/1_7454_0064.002

which bestITVX can use to get the download. Only you're on your own doing that.

for instance

[Attachment 73023 - Click to enlarge]

[col451]

channel 4 can with vinetrimmer
73021

Interesting. I will definitely look into that. Thank you!

@A_n_g_e_l_a:

I clearly did not notice the small change in url but will definitely use that in the future. Thanks for the tip!

@stabbedbybrick:

omg that is super helpful! Thank you so much!

Idle half hour produced this. Made slightly more difficult with the need to pad numbers in some sequences if the start suffix was 01 to 09.

# generate a sequence of series URLs for downolading with bestITVX.py
# output to terminal

# example input "https://www.itv.com/watch/supernatural/34139/1a7454a0023" 20 episodes

print("ITVX Batch Creator")
mystr = input("Start URL ")
eps   = int(input("Number of episodes "))
substr = mystr[:-2]
endstr = int(mystr[-2:])  # suffix
for i in range(endstr, endstr+eps, 1):  
    print(substr+str(endstr).zfill(2))
    endstr += 1
