You haven't got the cURL of the license. You've pasted something else. Check your procedures on a simple site. If you are in UK, try UKtvPlay.


Pasting without seeing anything echoed to the screen is a bit strange to get used to.

[PSXman_uk]

It didn't get that far that was when i pasted the url then it did that before the curl

[A_n_g_e_l_a]

It didn't get that far that was when i pasted the url then it did that before the curl

Oh well. I couldn't see that from my house.


But I see what you are doing now! I haven't posted any examples for you to copy. That was to show it working for Max USA - and is a response one of the testers showed me! You need to go to your own site and extract the mpd and curl.


And another heads up; quotes on this site add spaces after a long run of characters, so the data loses integrity. Don't copy from quotes.

Hi Angela,..

First,.. thank you for the continued updates to UK-FTA.

I wanted to ask your advice on something that is more of an aggravation than anything else. I downloaded a recent episode of "24hours" in police custody,.. UK-FTA worked perfectly but.... (gotta be a but).. the first audio stream is something I can only explain as "describing" what is happening,... the second audio stream is the actual audio (hope that makes sense).
Unusually 4od does not say anything about this being available, only subs and being in HD.

This is the first time this has ever happened.
address is the following: https://www.channel4.com/programmes/24-hours-in-police-custody/on-demand/68464-008

Some number of iterations earlier it was found that the audio channel selector sometimes gave description-audio for those with sight loss. It seemed there would usually be the main audio channel in prime position and the description channel second. BUT, sometimes, (most likely an intern at C4) the positions would be reversed. So I had posts complaining of the wrong audio. My solution was not to second guess C4 but just download both. You clearly have some of the interns work . Just select the other channel in your playback device

It is working on Windows - use Terminal from Windows Store and Chrome or Firefox browser - not edge.

[A_n_g_e_l_a]

It didn't get that far that was when i pasted the url then it did that before the curl

And Codehound has reminded me MAX USA is subscription only and needs a good VPN. So even if I had posted mpd and curl it would never work for you.

Thanks Angela, looks like i could have potentially not been grabbing the correct request as yours contains a extra bit at the end. I've found the other request (there were two in the network tab in chrome and this is the other one), the code for that request on my machine is as follows:

I've tried to run this again with the updated curl request but i still seem to get the same error, can i just check that i'm right in going to the network tab in chrome and searching for lic and then copying the request as cURL (cmd) and then copying straight into the terminal? Another thing maybe worth mentioning is that when i do paste the request terminal gives me a warning about the code being over multiple lines, could this potentially be causing the issue?

EDIT: snippet of the warning i get when posting the code into terminal (i press paste anyway):

Just had another look over your curl request and noticed it looks completely different to the request i have copied from Chrome, is what i noted in my previous reply the correct way to obtain the license url?

[A_n_g_e_l_a]

Just had another look over your curl request and noticed it looks completely different to the request i have copied from Chrome, is what i noted in my previous reply the correct way to obtain the license url?

Well Boltdns.net is the most simple license to find. It will ALWAYS be a method:POST - you can use that as a filter too. But lic should get it. But to be sure use the word 'license' in full. Every site is different in the way they address their license URL. If you've grown up getting sites by hand it will be familiar - if not keep your wits about you.

And your paste anyway question is valid because the large quantity of data and quite normal. Just accept ahd you might hear a bip as it is pasted. Don't miss RETURN though.

Thanks for your continued help and confirming which request is the right one Angela, i've gone back in and grabbed the POST request, snippet of the request and how i've copied it below:

Again this looks rather different to your curl request, is there something i'm doing wrong here? If i attempt to copy the curl request i get into the terminal (doing paste anyway when getting the warning) i get this error (i believe the same as my original error):

Hi Angela,..

First,.. thank you for the continued updates to UK-FTA.

I wanted to ask your advice on something that is more of an aggravation than anything else. I downloaded a recent episode of "24hours" in police custody,.. UK-FTA worked perfectly but.... (gotta be a but).. the first audio stream is something I can only explain as "describing" what is happening,... the second audio stream is the actual audio (hope that makes sense).
Unusually 4od does not say anything about this being available, only subs and being in HD.

This is the first time this has ever happened.
address is the following: https://www.channel4.com/programmes/24-hours-in-police-custody/on-demand/68464-008

Some number of iterations earlier it was found that the audio channel selector sometimes gave description-audio for those with sight loss. It seemed there would usually be the main audio channel in prime position and the description channel second. BUT, sometimes, (most likely an intern at C4) the positions would be reversed. So I had posts complaining of the wrong audio. My solution was not to second guess C4 but just download both. You clearly have some of the interns work . Just select the other channel in your playback device

Appreciated Angela,
Thanks for the heads up.

Paste cURL of license server request:
And press ENTER.
cURL is saved but not displayed.
cURL?
URL:
Method: GET
Headers: {}
Data:
[/CODE]

But you need the cURL of the license It is always method:POST. Clearly you have it wrong. Spend sometime checking your own work and re-checking until it works. It is operator error in your case and I can't help you gain experience.

Okay thanks anyway Angela, i'll keep trying. I dont get the option to press return after i press "paste anyway", it just goes straight to the error so not sure if thats also causing a problem. I'll keep digging, thanks again.

You are on windows and the system returns 'CAQ' for the cURL copy instead of byte encoded data. It gave me great consternation while developing the script. It worked on Linux but not Windows. Eventually I realised the extra data is the browser's CDM challenge. We replace it with OUR Cdm challenge, so it is not really needed.

OK that is your clipbaord manager pasting and returning by itself. Mine doesn't

Okay thanks for confirming Angela, i've used that curl request i posted above and that still didn't work (same error). Will give it a go again another time!

Try that. It is time limited though...

[Av4K100]

I've tried it using both firefox and chrome on windows and both just return an error, however i do have an ubuntu VM i've just spun up and tried it in and grabbing the curl request via chrome in Ubuntu has grabbed the correct request and worked via the script

There's definitely something up with how my chrome and firefox browsers are copying the curl request so will likely just need to use my Ubuntu VM in future if i need to utilise the L3 downloader.

[Av4K100]

I've also just ran the sript using your mpd and curl request and they work fine so it definitely seems to be how my browsers in Windows are copying the curl request because as soon as i do it via Ubuntu using the same license url i found it Windows it copies and works fine

[Av4K100]

RESOLVED:

So the issue was due to me copying the curl request as cURL (cmd) when doing this the returned curl request was always resulting in a failure however if i copied the request as cURL (POSIX) then the link was correct and i could download the video as expected.

Angela, thanks again for your help and pointing me in the right direction after some additional checks i managed to get it sorted on both Windows & Ubuntu

There is a salutary lesson for everyone. Persistence pays off. Also reading previous posts helps too https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/411884-UK-Free-to-Air-Downloader/page12#post2739350.

Well done for getting there.
