Yeah, your IP has been temporarily banned from their API for making too many requests in a short amount of time. Not much I can do about that. You either need to change your IP or wait.

ok thanks on another quick note can you change the proxy port from 8080 ?

Check their github on how to use it as a server. Freevine doesn't use it like that, so I can't really help.

https://iview.abc.net.au/video/ZW3757A001S00
Code:
freevine.py get -sa id="1" -e https://iview.abc.net.au/video/ZW3757A001S00
Use "--info" to print out all tracks. Sometimes the descriptive audio is selected as the best one, so you'll need to specifically select the other.

Is there a way to be able to use Freevine inside a docker container? I'm thinking a sort of basic or 'empty' container that's doing next to nothing itself, but I can shell into to run the scripts.

Just in case someone else makes the same mistake as me on linux.

I installed all the requirements when I first set up freevine, but have never used CW before.
So shaka-packager hadn't been used.

I tried today and it kept saying shaka-packager was not installed, even though it was.

It's because when I installed it system wide, it used the name 'packager' and freevine cant find it.
Either rename packager in /usr/local/bin/ to shaka-packager or download packager again and put it in the freevine folder and rename it shaka-packager.

Then it will work.

Good point.

Locating shaka-packager is actually up to N_m3u8DL-RE and not Freevine, and it looks like it only accepts the original binary filenames (packager-linux-x64) or a more generic "shaka-packager". This goes for both Linux and Windows (and OSX, I'm assuming).

Can some one please help me?

I tried downloading a full season of a show on PlutoTV and it worked just fine, but then it stopped about halfway through. First I got this message:

11:16:09.815 INFO : WVD file is missing. Attempting to create a new one...
11:16:09.816 ERROR : Required key and client ID not found

And now I'm getting this:

I tried another season and that worked just fine, but for some reason I can't get the most recent one. What am I doing wrong?

(I used this code: python freevine.py get --season S56 https://pluto.tv/en/on-demand/series/days-of-our-lives-no/details/season/56)

@KG79:

You're not doing anything wrong, this is an issue with the script. It's trying to download the DRM protected version when it should download the AES protected version, and it's failing at finding the proper manifest.

I'll take a look at it later and see if I can fix it.

Edit: It's been fixed in the latest commit.

You need to use the "episodes" URL, not the individual "episode" URL, that should solve this issue for you.

Oh OK and I presume I have to then add the S00E00? If so, how can I find the season and episode as some of them don't have it. For example Countryfile - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006t0bv/episodes/

theres 2 ways to do it.

as it doesnt have a season and episode number, then you would need to use each of the episode urls one by one.
start playing the episode in your browser and copy the url
eg. for Countryfile Tamara Way you would use
Code:
python freevine.py get --episode https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001vfkv/countryfile-tamara-way
the other way to do it is to list out the episodes with
Code:
>python freevine.py get --titles https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b006t0bv

❯_freevine v1.1.7

14:29:07.987 ←[4m←[32mINFO←[0m : ←[1mBBC iPlayer←[0m
14:29:11.213 ←[4m←[32mINFO←[0m : Countryfile: 1 Season(s), 53 Episode(s)

14:29:11.213 ←[4m←[32mINFO←[0m : Countryfile Powis Castle Compilation
14:29:11.214 ←[4m←[32mINFO←[0m : Countryfile Snowdrops
14:29:11.214 ←[4m←[32mINFO←[0m : Countryfile Ashdown Forest
14:29:11.214 ←[4m←[32mINFO←[0m : Countryfile Bodmin Moor
14:29:11.214 ←[4m←[32mINFO←[0m : Countryfile Somerset Willow Harvest
.....
then download the specific episode using the episode title eg. for Countryfile Powis Castle Compilation
Code:
python freevine.py get --episode "Countryfile Powis Castle Compilation" https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b006t0bv
btw, you should include the comand that you are using in any error or question so that its easier to troubleshoot.

If a show is completely lacking any episode or season numbers, or if they're generally messed up, the easiest option is to use "-fn" argument to add numbers based on their position on site, which makes them easier to select and download:

Code:

❯ python freevine.py get -t -fn https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006t0bv/episodes/

Oh OK and I presume I have to then add the S00E00? If so, how can I find the season and episode as some of them don't have it. For example Countryfile - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006t0bv/episodes/

theres 2 ways to do it.

as it doesnt have a season and episode number, then you would need to use each of the episode urls one by one.
start playing the episode in your browser and copy the url
eg. for Countryfile Tamara Way you would use
Code:
python freevine.py get --episode https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001vfkv/countryfile-tamara-way
the other way to do it is to list out the episodes with
Code:
>python freevine.py get --titles https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b006t0bv

❯_freevine v1.1.7

14:29:07.987 ←[4m←[32mINFO←[0m : ←[1mBBC iPlayer←[0m
14:29:11.213 ←[4m←[32mINFO←[0m : Countryfile: 1 Season(s), 53 Episode(s)

14:29:11.213 ←[4m←[32mINFO←[0m : Countryfile Powis Castle Compilation
14:29:11.214 ←[4m←[32mINFO←[0m : Countryfile Snowdrops
14:29:11.214 ←[4m←[32mINFO←[0m : Countryfile Ashdown Forest
14:29:11.214 ←[4m←[32mINFO←[0m : Countryfile Bodmin Moor
14:29:11.214 ←[4m←[32mINFO←[0m : Countryfile Somerset Willow Harvest
.....
then download the specific episode using the episode title eg. for Countryfile Powis Castle Compilation
Code:
python freevine.py get --episode "Countryfile Powis Castle Compilation" https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b006t0bv
btw, you should include the comand that you are using in any error or question so that its easier to troubleshoot.
Ah, that works using the episode title thanks.

I have a friend who is based in the US and is also trying to download from iPlayer but gets the following error. I logged into his computer but still couldn't get it to work with the suggestions above. Is there something we have done wrong or missing anything?

HTML Code:

freevine.py get --episode "Countryfile Powis Castle Compilation" https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b006t0bv --save-dir "C:\Users\xxxxxxx\OneDrive\Desktop\Freevine Rips" --select-video res=1080 --proxy UK

A "403 Client Error" in this case means that the IP is blocked. Using a proxy like you did here might work, but it's never a guarantee. BBC is relatively aggressive in terms of blocking proxies, especially for the streams that are being accessed in this script. I'd recommend trying Windscribe proxy instead of Hola, or getting a proper VPN.

With Windscribe and the quick server I used, it didn't let me access that m3u8.
With Mysterium, however, that m3u8 is accessible.

Ah OK that makes sense. We'll try with Windscribe. He does have Proton VPN (paid account) and it wouldn't work whilst connected to that. Downloading from STV works though so it must just be BBC be a pain.

This has been fixed in the latest commit. I should mention, though, that downloads are geo blocked on TVNZ. So, even if the proxy now works you won't be able to download since it only affects the API and license requests. You'll be met with "ERROR: Download init file failed!". A system-wide proxy/VPN is needed in this case.

And please wrap your logs in [CODE] tags when posting.

I get a 3 megabyte file with the animation of pluto, 15 seconds. Is this normal outside US? Thank you so much

EDIT: that title is just an example, I'am not so interested in that movie, that's just an example of what happens if I use freevine with Pluto using a proxy.

Pluto has a bunch of promo bumpers that are usually filtered out, but this one sneaked past. I don't think it matters which country, but it might be possible that US has more of them. I'm not sure.

Either way, it's been fixed in the latest commit. Pull the new updates and it should work.
