Help needed with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pywidevine.L3'

[LastResort]

A quick rundown,...

A folder called D:\YT_Rips\WKS-KEYS

Inside this folder is pywidevine

All scripts were working fine up until tonight, I was after a prog from STV,..
My first attempt was to use a script called boltdnsnet.py (I gave up with it)
I found a couple of scripts by Angela, called:
stv_loader.py or stvgetter.py

These worked great.

but since downloading my files I was after a prog from CH5,... I have a script which I found from here, it removes 720p from URL (if required) to give 1080p.
This is where my problem starts. ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pywidevine.L3'

So I tried to do a pip install widevine from an admin command prompt, this seemed to work. but again the same error occured.
I thought, okay uninstall widevine and reinstall to see if that would solve the problem.
this is where it goes a bit weird,... widevine uninstalled fine... but when trying to reinstall with pip install widevine i get an error in red letters thats says:

D:\YT_Rips\WKS-KEYS>pip uninstall pywidevine
Found existing installation: pywidevine 1.6.0
Uninstalling pywidevine-1.6.0:
Would remove:

c:\users\westhamboy\appdata\local\programs\python\ python311\scripts\pywidevine.exe
Proceed (Y/n)? y
Successfully uninstalled pywidevine-1.6.0

D:\YT_Rips\WKS-KEYS>pip install widevine
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement widevine (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for widevine

I'm kind of at a loss through my blatant stupidity.

edit: yes i can see my mistake... pip install widevine..... dohhh

I actually thought that was going to solve my initial problem, but its still there, When i run ch5.py i get:

D:\YT_Rips\WKS-KEYS>ch5.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\YT_Rips\WKS-KEYS\CH5.py", line 7, in <module>
from pywidevine.L3.cdm import deviceconfig
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pywidevine.L3' A probable wrong guess, but could it be because i'm running the scripts from within the WKS-KEYS folder, I can see line 7 which says "from pywidevine.L3.cdm import deviceconfig" so i'm guessing i've somehow screwed things up by running ch4 ch5 and itv script's all from the WKS-KEYS folder.

I'm also getting the same error with my itv script which was fine yesterday,... now i'm getting the following:

D:\YT_Rips\WKS-KEYS>itvx.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\YT_Rips\WKS-KEYS\itvx.py", line 45, in <module>
from pywidevine.L3.cdm import deviceconfig # no CDM? Comment out this line
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pywidevine.L3'

And the same error with my all4.py script. weeps,.... what the hell did i do ???

okay... i read this from angela: https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/410098-Problem-with-wks-keys#post2694513

all of my folders had __init__.py within L3 and lower,... but there was not an __init__.py within the pywidevine folder itself. so i added one.

getting there. but now it seems to have got worse,... i tried running my all4.py script which failed before but now i'm getting this:

D:\YT_Rips\WKS-KEYS>all4.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: Descriptors cannot not be created directly.
If this call came from a _pb2.py file, your generated code is out of date and must be regenerated with protoc >= 3.19.0.
If you cannot immediately regenerate your protos, some other possible workarounds are:
1. Downgrade the protobuf package to 3.20.x or lower.
2. Set PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python (but this will use pure-Python parsing and will be much slower).

More information: https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/news/2022-05-06#python-updates

I read somewhere about downgrading protoc,..... (I have been doing a lot of reading, sorry) but cannot remember where.... could this be the cause of the problem, and get things back to normal???

[LastResort]

I have it all back working...... somehow, and i do not know how, but __init__.py was missing from pywidevine folder,... and i had to downgrade protobuf. itv is fine,.. but the only one i'm having problems with is ch5.

the version number to the script is
#### version 20230205-1
#### version 20230816-1 remove 720p from URL (if required) to give 1080p

any clues please chaps??

I'll try the updated d e ccavox version from https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/410822-My5-(Channel-5)#post2705627

maybe ch5 has changed again... can anyone check to see if this is working please..

okay... for some unknown reason firefox is the only way i can get it to work using the old ch5 script with copy and paste the mpd onto a text file then removing the _SD-tt before re-copying and pasting into cmd prompt.
