And the good news is............................... 1080p at last!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still shitty 96Kbps audio.

There's a slight difference. Before, the mpd appeared after first advert was completed. Now it doesn't appear until the whole bloody lot have played (effing 5 minutes worth!!).

[stabbedbybrick]

Nice, thanks for the heads-up. Getting 1080p @ ~6000kbps is not too shabby, even if the audio is still garbage. Might be worth making a script for this site now.

OK, here's mine. Some will say not very sophisticated but vit works and I'm happy with it. Just drop this (I called it ch5.py) into the WKS-KEYS folder. You don't need a header.py file. To run: py ch5.py and follow instructions

It seems that some (not many) downloads have two audio options (one for AD). To make sure you get the correct audio stream, it seems that its ID is always 10 (I've now tried quite a few and it always seems to be the case).
So, change line:
os.system(f'yt-dlp --allow-u -f bestaudio -N 6 "{mpd_url}" -o encryptAud.m4a')
to
os.system(f'yt-dlp --allow-u -f 10 -N 6 "{mpd_url}" -o encryptAud.m4a')

im getting this error can u help plz

[Dannyboi]

update: got 1 1080p mpd/video but the next episodes download as 720p for some reason its not grabbing the best quality

[Dannyboi]

for some reason its not grabbing and downloading 1080p video/mpd only 720p videos can u help please

[Sorenb]

!. How in blue blazes are you getting the key WITHOUT the kid?
2. Use Chrome browser to obtain the mpd

https://akadash0.akamaized.net/hydra/C5164552461/C5164552461A/20230809180211/C5164552461-tt.mpd?CMCD=ot%3Dm%2Csid%3D%22087903c8-3623-486b-8335-5733439c24f3%22

3. MY5 uses two KID's but both supply the same key from the license server.

KID:KEY -> fb03e420fbca46a28c0e80af28f2369b:3839f55e8424c1f52 3919370f9a10567
KID:KEY -> e579bcbb19d2b5d881004a8088aeb84f:3839f55e8424c1f52 3919370f9a10567

You should be able to do this in your sleep, you've told us all many times just how brilliant you are.

i have got both key and kid now cant get the 1080p mpds

here's a little tip, try it on a newer programme. Something that was added to the catch up service AFTER they changed the stream resolution.
Try it with say, todays Home and Away

https://www.channel5.com/home-and-away/season-2022/a1e7a3e3-6030-4fd5-a134-aec1f481aed4

so we just add the mpd, the tool removes the 720p and downloads 720p yea, shame we cant just add the url instead of mpd

is there a script like this to download from uktv in 1080p?

There is.
I've written quite a few. None in python, though.

Sorry to be a bother chaps,.... but does this uptodate script for my5 which auto selects 1080p still work,.... because i'm sure it was working last week, but after pasting the mpd into the elevated cmd prompt, it asks for the lic url,... so far so good,.... network tab, lic,... shows two calls... oddly neither work, but come up with errors. but only after showing some of the subtitles.
https://www.channel5.com/show/holidaying-with-jane-mcdonald/season-1-5b86f94c-cf0a-4ff...6844/episode-3

lic call 1 (using copy link address)
https://cassie.channel5.com/api/v2/licences/widevine/491/C5466270003?expiry=1694551689...a5%22%2Cst%3Dv

lic call 2
https://cassie.channel5.com/api/v2/licences/widevine/491/C5466270003?expiry=1694551689...a5%22%2Cst%3Dv

both lic calls seem identical but under preview tab both are different. using latest version of chrome win 10 64bit.
(I just want to know where I'm going wrong please).

I decided to give firefox a go.... and it did start to work... right up until i got this error....
audio_decrypt.m4a: No such file or directory
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\YT_Rips\WKS-KEYS\CH5.py", line 113, in <module>
os.rename("mux_file.mp4", f'{output_name}')
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified: 'mux_file.mp4' -> 'jms01e03.mp4'

okay.... it's downloading vid, and decrypting,... but no audio???

Still trying to suss out what is going on.... the script as it looks when downloading

I don't know if i am right or not,... but during the download is the audio called SD-tt ??

I do not know if this will help but my version of yt-dlp is 2023.7.6.0 13.3mb

[iamghost]

just remove _SD-tt you will be fine download video and audio

https://akadash0.akamaized.net/hydra/C5466270003/C5466270003B/20230906122503/C5466270003.mpd?CMCD=ot%3Dm%2Csid%3D%22e103d00b-4f64-42b6-946f-36cef2ec9932%22

[LastResort]

Thank you for the reply iamghost,....

That's insane..... just that part even stopped the 1080p stream,.... I was only getting 720p and no audio...

Really appreciate your input and help. Thanks again.

[deccavox]

So far, I've found 3 variations within the mpd url ('_720p', '_SD' and '_SD-fixed-label'). There may be more. They all seem to have a common theme, so hopefully, this will deal with the lot:

#### version 20230205-1
#### version 20230816-1  remove 720p from mpd_url (if required) to give 1080p
#### version 20230908-1  remove '_SD-fixed-label' from mpd_url
#### version 20230908-2  deal with '_SD-tt' in mpd_url
#### version 20230910-1  deal with all variations in mpd_url between '_' and '-tt'

Does anyone know how to access the API on channel5? I want to automate a script but they have some weird protection. Normally you would make a request with the correct headers and then parse the response data. But the response on channel5 is encrypted with what looks like AES? There's an IV and a data string but I can't find the key anywhere. First I thought the auth in the episode json would be the key, but apparantely not. And where the hell is that auth coming from anyway? It's all very annoying and I would love some pointers.

They use AES & HMAC ... and it changes regularly (it's changed at least twice since they added 1080p I believe)

Oh damn, that sounds like it's above my skill level. You don't happen to have any tips on how to handle it?
