Great work as always, Diazole. Nice to see you're still around showing the rest of us how it's done

[A_n_g_e_l_a]

Very clever.

[bamboobali]

Thank you!

By default the script selects the audio description track. To cure it, alter line 230 to this "bv,wa".

Brilliant, thank you. Now I just need to fiddle with the script to use n_m3u8 but it works like a bomb.

Ch5 'seems' to have settled on stream #10 for the normal audio track now.

[A_n_g_e_l_a]

Almost finished a loader for it - so multiple series downloads are possible.

[sipho]

Using n_m3u8? That would be awesome!

Not at this stage. Just a quick and dirty front end to Diazole's work. I just added an entry point for an import . It works well enough, although slower than N_m3u8DL-RE.

Live now.

No probs. I'm testing your script now. I already added aria2c as the downloader which makes it a lot faster.

There is a bug in Diazole's script though.

Episode output is this

Murder.In.The.First.S01EThe.City.of.Sisterly.Love

and should be this

Murder.In.The.First.S01E02.The.City.of.Sisterly.Love

Its not strictly a bug. its what he asked for in code. I think the variable is episodeTitle and the code makes no mention of episode number - although it is available.

I did have a quick look earlier and will see I i can add it in to my variation of OP's code. I've also found an outlier which returns no data. It breaks my loader and it breaks Diazole's code too. https://www.channel5.com/show/agatha-christie-s-crooked-house is the offending title.

[sipho]

Call it a creepy crawly if you like.

[sipho]

Still seems to miss subtitles.

Tried it with this once off show.

Finds the subtitle though.

The link that it spat out works fine if you paste it into a browser.

This line seems to indicate that it's true by default so should download?

dl_subtitles: bool,

It's not all though.

working for me.

[A_n_g_e_l_a]

Here is a utility to update the config file in my5-dl-main/ with current values for HMAC_SECRET and AES_KEY. I am told they change about every 8 days. The script here will find the current version by running retrieve_keys.html locally, then scraping the result and over-writing parts of config.py.

You will need to download a Firefox binary - details in the head of the file. Also you will need to edit file paths within the script to suit your locations. You should make a back-up of config.py before starting any edits.

https://files.videohelp.com/u/301890/hmac-aes-update.py Ideally one would run cron daily to keep updated - if you download from My5 a lot.

[A_n_g_e_l_a]

And the HMAC and AES key changed yesterday as luck would have it.

[peterb999]

Thanks for this Angela. I've just run it and it works fine for me.

As I'm on windows I had to change line 14 where it looks for the retrieve-keys.html file to :

LOCATION_RETRIEVE_KEYS_HTML = r"file:c:\chan4\keys\retrieve-keys.html"

Just thought I'd mention it in case other people have problems in windows.
I've also added a Task Scheduler to run it every morning and that also works fine.

Thanks Peter, raw string works on linux too. I plan bug-fix and modification of program escapes so will add the hmac-eas-update.py changes to the new release.

Anyone able to help me generate my WVD file I see we need to generate i using this

https://github.com/devine-dl/pywidevine

But past that im a bit lost. Any help here or in Dm's would be great.

[Obo]

I don't really understand what your problem is.

Is it on how to extract the CDM files that you need to build a WVD file from an Android device? => https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/408031-Dumping-Your-own-L3-CDM-with-Android-Studio and https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/404994-Decryption-and-the-Temple-of-Doom
Is it on how to build a WVD file from the extracted CDM files? => https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/404994-Decryption-and-the-Temple-of-Doom (search for "create a wvd file by hand" in the start post of this thread)
Is it on how to use "Devine"? => https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/414154-Devine-Modular-Movie-TV-and-Music-Archival-Software and ask your specific question there
If all you need is a ready to use CDM: => https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/413719-Ready-to-use-CDMs-available-here%21 - the linked CDMs.zip in that post contains ready to use WVD files.

The sticky threads in this forum are a great source of information. Read them - at least the starting posts.

Thanks for the links will check them out, i think i very much under estimated the work but now i have lots to read and i have learnt

[catsanddownload]

Thanks for not kicking me out for my question last time. I think i have made it as far as i can.

Im running mac os on apple silicon. I made it this far but i'm stuck with an error 'Temp file is not the default'

Temp file is not the default

My config settings are

# Configurable
HMAC_SECRET = "IFaFksClremovedRfEaRmw=="
AES_KEY = "TS7DIremovedJzCjPjfMw=="
WVD_PATH = "/Volumes/My Shared Files/junk/l3keydump/WVD/unknown_android_sdk_built_for_arm64_14.0.0_015651b 7_7283_l3.wvd"
DOWNLOAD_DIR = "/Volumes/My Shared Files/junk/my5"
TMP_DIR = "/Volumes/My Shared Files/junk/my5/tmp"
BIN_DIR = "./bin"
USE_BIN_DIR = False

Ive installed all the requirements. Any ideas ? Im wondering if i need to enter the paths differently as its not windows.

Thanks everyone

Looks like this is due to some silly decision by Diazole:

def delete_temp_files() -> None:
    if TMP_DIR != "./tmp":
        print("Temp file is not the default")
        sys.exit()

Even if you can define your own TMP_DIR the script doesn't allow to use it. I'd remove lines 54-56 from utility.py. Or restore TMP_DIR in config.py to the original value.

Other than that: you've already got the keys, the next step is to download the video using yt-dlp.

Amazing that 'trick' worked, thanks so much
