Crave 1080p issue

[r0ot5]

Hey Guys,

I've started playing and learning to download/decrypt video from streaming site. On crave I can do the 720p without issue but the 1080p videos are causing some headache.

For exemple this URL, 1080p is only available usng EDGE : https://www.crave.ca/en/tv-shows/elles-ont-tue/episode-1-s1e1

Using EME Logger won't give me the pssh. From what I understand this is a PlayReady encrypted video.

Manifest : https://u1.video.9c9media.com/video/v1/218169/dash/playready/zultimate-01000110/manifest.mpd

I can download the video without issue but getting the keys is not working and I can't figure out how. I've try download the init.mp4 but it doesn't contain anything useful and can't get pssh extracted.

Anyone can point me to some article or documentations that could help me undertand and learn the proper way to do it?

Thanks,
r0ot5

From init file:

>mp4dump init.mp4
...
default_KID = [cc 4b 43 4f b4 47 cc 7a fc be ed bf 60 d7 f0 88]
...

KID to PSSH:

>widevine_pssh.py --key_ids cc4b434f-b447-cc7a-fcbe-edbf60d7f088
--widevine.drm_specific_data=AAAARnBzc2gBAAAA7e+LqXn WSs6jyCfc1R0h7QAAAAHMS0NPtEfMevy+7b9g1/CIAAAAEhIQzEtDT7RHzHr8vu2/YNfwiA==

Did you see that 'playready' in the manifest URL?
You can just add a '?filter=25' to get 1080p on your Chrome. Those 4K videos are also L3.

When I check in the network tab, the authenticating server seems to be 'playready'

Once I have the pssh, I'm trying to request the keys but it's always failing using the following URL:

https://license.9c9media.ca/playready?jwt=eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.....and I get this URL from the entry you see in the screenshot and select copy URL.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Like I said, I'm doing the same thing for the 720p video and it's working fine but the 1080p is causing me issue.

Have you tried, in your header, to use the Edge user agent like this?

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/120.0.0.0

Btw, unless you are trying to automatize the process to download in batch, this is a non issue because both the 720p and the 1080p should have the same kid:key combination.

Yes I did try with the CDRM-Project and it's returning Error 500 using the URL from the screenshot. They don't seem to be part of the same Manifest, when using Firefox I get a different one.

Perhaps you're missing some additional headers that are sent with your license request. Maybe the user agent isn't the only relevant one. Try including them all.

[r0ot5]

I did try to include all headers informatons but I'm still getting back Error 500.

Here's the header:

headers = {
'authority': 'license.9c9media.ca',
'accept': '*/*',
'accept-language': 'en-US,en;q=0.9',
'content-type': 'text/xml; charset=utf-8',
'origin': 'https://www.crave.ca',
'referer': 'https://www.crave.ca/',
'sec-ch-ua': '"Not_A Brand";v="8", "Chromium";v="120", "Microsoft Edge";v="120"',
'sec-ch-ua-mobile': '?0',
'sec-ch-ua-platform': '"Windows"',
'sec-fetch-dest': 'empty',
'sec-fetch-mode': 'cors',
'sec-fetch-site': 'cross-site',
'soapaction': '"http://schemas.microsoft.com/DRM/2007/03/protocols/AcquireLicense"',

}

Also, not sure how @CrymanChenc generated the pssh, I've try to deploy pycpix and I'm getting errors when running it.

What do you add/modify to get the 4k?

I think you've caught the wrong request.

Mine below:

headers = {
    'Accept': '*/*',
    'Accept-Language': 'zh-CN,zh;q=0.9,en-US;q=0.8,en;q=0.7,ru;q=0.6',
    'Authorization': 'HIDDEN',
    'Cache-Control': 'no-cache',
    'Connection': 'keep-alive',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'DNT': '1',
    'Origin': 'https://www.crave.ca',
    'Pragma': 'no-cache',
    'Referer': 'https://www.crave.ca/en/tv-shows/fantastic-friends/dubai-s1e3',
    'Sec-Fetch-Dest': 'empty',
    'Sec-Fetch-Mode': 'cors',
    'Sec-Fetch-Site': 'cross-site',
    'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/114.0.0.0 Safari/537.36',
    'sec-ch-ua': '"Not.A/Brand";v="8", "Chromium";v="114", "Google Chrome";v="114"',
    'sec-ch-ua-mobile': '?0',
    'sec-ch-ua-platform': '"Windows"',
}

You'll get an HTTP 500 without the Authorization key-value pair.

9c9media won't use an XML to exchange licenses when you are using Widevine. They will do so only when it's PlayReady.
(Don't tell me you want to get the content key for PlayReady. We are talking about the Widevine stuff.)

And with Widevine, it works perfectly.

I think I'm mixed up, when using Firefox I get the correct manifest and can decode it but I only see 720p. To be able to capture the 1080p manifest I need to use edge and that's where I keep seeing stuff related to 'playready'.

Here's what I'm receiving based on the browser I use:

Link to video : https://www.crave.ca/en/tv-shows/elles-ont-tue/episode-4-s1e4

FF : https://u1.video.9c9media.com/video/v1/218168/dash/widevine/zbest-01000110/manifest.mpd
Edge : https://u1.video.9c9media.com/video/v1/218169/dash/playready/zultimate-01000110/manifest.mpd

Can't force 1080p using firefox with crave.....

Well it's OK to have some time sorting all of these stuff.
