My5: paying a visit

[A_n_g_e_l_a]

Here is a my5 loader allowing search and select for single episodes series or multiple series.
Updated 26/09/2023 https://files.videohelp.com/u/301890/my5_update.zip

Install Diazole's my5-dl package from https://github.com/Diazole/my5-dl

Follow instruction on github and make sure you have all Diazole's software running properly.

Then extract the zip, linked above, INTO the same folder as Diazole's my5-dl.py.

run pip install -r requirements.txt and then you should be set.

py my5_loader.py runs the script.

off to test, thank you.

One thing, perhaps rename your requirements.txt to requirements-angela.txt.

Why? Are you not running the python scripts in isolated environments, as per python recommendation?

python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate

or if you're a windows user

py -m venv env
.\env\Scripts\activate

See here for more details.

Does anyone else get the following error when trying to download a movie?

Yes. I've spotted it. Had the same error with this film https://www.channel5.com/show/agatha-christie-s-crooked-house. There is a mis-match with how My5 treats Films compared to normal stuff.

Also if you use Diazoles script directly with your URL it will probably download but not save.

I'll look at my part of the code in the morning.

Yes I am but there is already a requirements.txt in that folder.

After you've run pip install -r requirements.txt you can safely remove requirements.txt

I had to change some code to get the episode to be recognised by various renamers.

f"{show_name} S{season_number}.{episode_title}".split()

If a show doesn't return an episode title then the original code like this works perfectly.

f"{show_name} S{season_number}E{episode_title}".split()

I also noticed your script doesn't download subtitles? It lists them in the beginning though.

This show was used to test stuff today.

Yes, but some shows have an episodeTitle AND an episodeNumber. And you need both to know the sequence to view the episodes. That's my problem for today.

You are quite right subs are not downloaded. I thought they were being embedded. fix coming.

[sipho]

You are quite right subs are not downloaded. I thought they were being embedded. fix coming.

Please allow an option to just keep them separate and not muxed. If possible of course.

You could either create your own config file and include the subs mux choice in that file or add it after the config_import in your mygetter.py file but then it gets messy.

[A_n_g_e_l_a]

find def main(url) in my5getter.py
4 line down
def main(url):



dl_subtitles = False # just set to True! And they embed and save. I'm not changing that. Bells and whistles come after the functionality is correct.

Updated zip download at #1 fixes the single download issue. Tested on American Gangster and others. Now working fine.

[A_n_g_e_l_a]

Sorry Chaps, that last update 5 minutes ago had a bug that somehow had crept in during edits. Now corrected at #1

There are still issues I'm working on but the failure to download single titles was an important correction. Series list displays the last series only, presently. And episode title sometimes needs a number. Work in progress..

[A_n_g_e_l_a]

Fixed the episode title to add an episode number; works with the narrow range I've tested but I'm sure there will be other anomalies.
However that really is for Diazole to fix as it is a fundamental part of his code.

Also I will not be adding N_mu8DL-RE as the downloader. Too much stuff is dependent on the whole structure of the code which tends to prevent small changes without a massive rewrite. So not going to be me. Besides its nice to slow down again and remember the olden days with yt-dlp and mp4decrypt and ffmpeg to merge.

This looks to be it with the code fully functional now. Single movie titles work, episode number gets inserted and series numbers for selecting which to download are now correctly listed..

[A_n_g_e_l_a]

My5 have changed the HMAC and AES keys. You can update again by visiting the web-page you used to set-up Diazole's code initially and replacing in config.py

Thank you Just curious did you download the movie too? I seem to get an unplayable mp4 file, and when you open the subtitles it appears to be the mainfest?

Strange one.Yes I did download American Gangster. Tried to play it just now and VLC won't. I downloaded About Time at the same, er, time and that plays just fine? Something happening in decryption for Diazole to sort out methinks. You've updated your HMAC and AES keys to today's values?

Managed to download it using the Diazole quoted mpd and license url using my old my5 downloader. I trimmed the mpd to https://akadash0.akamaized.net/hydra/C5436860001/C5436860001C/20230902010250/C5436860001.mpd and it plays. Not sure its a key error as the keys were the same. Although KID different.

[Jawz22]

You've updated your HMAC and AES keys to today's values?

Yeah updated the HMAC and AES keys, but not to worry was just testing your code

But like you, I downloaded both American Gangster and About Time. About Time Works but American Gangster doesn't.

Found the work around!!

Diazole's code is picking up the wrong subtitles file - an mpd -

[Attachment 74035 - Click to enlarge]
so when that gets muxed in it ruins the download which was all fine up 'til then.

The work around is to switch off subtitles at the top of the main(url) function.

Thank you for your hard work

[A_n_g_e_l_a]

Updated to avoid the need for the above workaround switching subs off and on.

Diazole's code: Recent updates there are an improvement but some titles fail to download.

Just got round to trying out this script. Once again, really great script, works like a dream. Thanks Angela
