MPD files and multiple EXO files

[labamba]

good day,

I downloaded a movie from streaming site using their streaming app on Android. the movie downloded as multiple EXO files and one MPD file. in MPD file there are video and audio related information, like default_KID or cencssh fields. is it possible to convert these multiple EXO files into one regular MP4 file using the information from MPD file?

if so, I would appreciate some hints on how to do this. I can program a bit in bash shell.

thank you!

i think you just need mpd link & key (if mpd is encrypted) to download

hi, MPD is in plain text. it has a structure of XML (below). Can it be used to decrypt and somehow merge all EXO files into mp4?

this is pssh form your mpd link

AAAAP3Bzc2gAAAAA7e+LqXnWSs6jyCfc1R0h7QAAAB8SEFSG88wVRkq9mMMeX+eJ0GwaBWV6ZHJtSOPclZsG

you need license url to get key
once you got key

you can download video using your mpd link & key
with mp4 format

thank you!

MPD file is local and it was downloaded along with EXO files. i dont have link to this file. is this ok?
and second question: how can I get URL to get key? is there "usual" way to get it in the browser?

this is app.filmbox.com site.

[jckzz]

when you stream in browser
developer tools - refresh browser - network tab
serach for lic / license / drm / proxy

for lic / license I get nothing.
for drm something like this:

for proxy this:

for manifest, this one:

[Attachment 75825 - Click to enlarge]

does it look like something that could be used to download the movie?

I also googled for using youtube-dl and used it with the URL to manifest file but I got error like this:

this site requires login. I have an account there, can login through browser/android app. not sure if this can be used to download from command line.

[shellcmd]

your information is correct, then copy that mpd link, paste here, then paste that proxy? link here, that is license url.

link to "proxy" file:
https://widevine-dash.ezdrm.com/proxy?pX=003389

please let me know if I did it correctly.

[shellcmd]

can't access to the mpd link , maybe need token/header or just geo block, but the link is correct, if you can open the mpd link, you get mpd file, then you can see pssh in it.

click proxy, change payload tab to headers, pull down to the bottom, you will see request headers, should some authorization there. you can right click proxy link, copy, copy as curl(bash), then paste it to https://curlconverter.com/ , you will get a value, copy it to here, if luck, someone will get keys.

I can see pssh in MPD file, @jckzz also pointed me to this value.

this site requires login/password in browser or in android app. after login one can watch the movies. you probably cannot access MPD link because you're not logged in. for request headers regarding authorization this is what I can see in header tab in browser:

you do the same with other movie
find pssh & license url

to donwload you can use N_m3u8DL-RE

N_m3u8DL-RE -M format=mp4 --key 5486f3cc15464abd98c31e5fe789d06c:cffa2ccc521e3d0b02c551f14655576e "mpdlink" --save-name video

06:46:28.721 ERROR: Download init file failed!

it looks like the software can do a bit more when pointing to local MPD but gets stuck right after. not sure what kind of "path" is mentioned above but subdirectory ./video/avc1/4/ is empty.

what does this error mean? is there anything missed? were you guys able to download this using MPD file above or a link to MPD?

Your mpd url is too old.

Get a fresh one to use with ./N_m3u8DL-RE

[shellcmd]

if you ensure have no geo block issue,

then see mpd request header, to see if some key(like cookie/auth) in it.

thank you, you're my saver! it works.

all right... I've received a lot of help in a "fastrack mode". but I'd like to understand more about this topic anyway so that maybe I could help someone in future too. where should I start about this topic? where things come from, what are popular "ways" the movies can be downloaded from sites like this, how do you get your hands on tools like the one above, choose tool to do right job etc. I would appreciate pointing me to a good place to start reading about it.
