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.

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.

Call it a creepy crawly if you like.

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.

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.

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.
