Got an HTTP 416 error in GlobalTV

[CrymanChen]

Guys, I met an HTTP 416 error when trying to get a key from GlobalTV,
it's a Canadian platform and it's free to watch, you need to have a Canadian IP to stream:
https://watch.globaltv.com/series/7a8be44c-9f6b-11ee-9a7f-0242ac110004/episode/GLOB005...0/?action=play
It seems that the data I sent out were right, however, the server returned a "eyJzdGF0dXMiOiI0MTYifQ==" (status: 416) error even if I have modified the script.
Would anyone give me a hand? Thank you in advance!

Try this PSSH from eme logger:

AAAAPHBzc2gAAAAA7e+LqXnWSs6jyCfc1R0h7QAAABwiFEdMT0IwMDU3MTA4NjAwMDAwMDAwSOPclZsG

Edit: I tested the PSSH with the script and it returns the key. So that's the right PSSH.

import json

import requests
from pywidevine.cdm import Cdm
from pywidevine.device import Device
from pywidevine.pssh import PSSH


def str_to_dict(str_value):
    return json.loads(str_value)


def dict_to_str(dict_value):
    return json.dumps(dict_value)


LICENSE_URL = "https://global.corusappservices.com/authorization/widevine/getresourcekey"
PSSH_VALUE = "AAAAPHBzc2gAAAAA7e+LqXnWSs6jyCfc1R0h7QAAABwiFEdMT0IwMDU3MTA4NjAwMDAwMDAwSOPclZsG"
WVD_FILE = "./device_wvd_file.wvd"
LICENSE_HEADERS = {
    'content-type': 'application/json'
}

JSON_PAYLOAD = '<INSERT_RAW_JSON_PAYLOAD>'

pssh = PSSH(PSSH_VALUE)
device = Device.load(WVD_FILE)
cdm = Cdm.from_device(device)
session_id = cdm.open()
challenge = cdm.get_license_challenge(session_id, pssh)

custom_payload = str_to_dict(JSON_PAYLOAD)
custom_payload["license_request_data"] = list(challenge)

licence = requests.post(LICENSE_URL, data=dict_to_str(custom_payload), headers=LICENSE_HEADERS)
licence.raise_for_status()
cdm.parse_license(session_id, licence.content)

for key in cdm.get_keys(session_id):
    print(f"[{key.type}] {key.kid.hex}:{key.key.hex()}")
cdm.close(session_id)

[shellcmd]

yes, incorrect pssh will return error 416, dont calculate pssh from KID, at least in globaltv.

[CrymanChen]

Cool! Thanks @2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi and @shellcmd
I didn't use the PSSH from EME logger because that one is too long to be a so-called "Widevine PSSH".

[lomero]

long pssh is PR+wdvne. need to be convert

share here your long pssh

If you look closely, you'll notice the final part (in bold) looks exactly like a WideVine PSSH:

Hi,

I'm very much a neophyte when it comes to all this, but I'm also looking to download a show from GlobalTV.

This is the show: https://watch.globaltv.com/series/f791dee6-c510-11ed-9ff0-0242ac110005/episode/FOOD005...0/?action=play

I've managed to find the PSSH by using the EME logger. Like the poster above noted, I was able to gather it's the 80-character tail end that begins with the strand "AAAA." In this case:

AAAAPHBzc2gAAAAA7e+LqXnWSs6jyCfc1R0h7QAAABwiFEZPT0QwMDUzNDQ2OTEwMDAwMDAwSOPclZsG

I have the licence (which is the same as OP's):

https://global.corusappservices.com/authorization/widevine/getresourcekey

But when I use CDRM-Project, I get Error 415. I'm not entering any information in "Headers" box and I don't know who to input it. Any help, via PM or here, would be more than appreciated.

your key(540p, maybe 1080p or higher, but i dont know the android tv api):

--key 6597c506c407d531738857ebe52c0a9e:c778d92d1dceffa4374b95fc49543753

and you need read this thread carefully, in second floor @2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi had public the script, everyone can use it locally.

because json payload in the request body, and no online sites(getwv/cdrm/keysdb) can handle json payload, so you expect online sites give you key, it is almost impossible.

someone can edit for WKS-KEYS tool ? i've tried to run but the first error is about pywidevine.cdm
so, i've edit from pywidevine.L3.cdm import cdm
but now i have another error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pywidevine.device'
import Device is like on l3.py from pywidevine.L3.cdm import cdm, deviceconfig ?

[shellcmd]

right, and i suggest use new version of pywidevine. wks-keys is classic but a bit outdated. you just need pip install pywidevine and then you can run the script anywhere in your pc. if you still insist wks-keys, better use it with python venv.

[whs912km]

no understand: i've used pip install pywidevine
download all modules, but when i can run the script above i have the same error because i can use wks-keys tool only ...

[white_snake]

anyway no understand: i've used pip install pywidevine
download all modules, but when i can run the script above i have the same error because i can use wks-keys tool only ...

You also need a generic L3 pywidevine script and a .wvd file. You can find everything you need here: https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/411862-Beyond-WKS-KEYS

after pip install pywidevine my wks-keys tool stop to work ...

how to solve ?

how to solve ?

two choice:
1: if you decide to use new pywidevine, then you just delete wks-keys forever or use it in python venv
2: if you decide to use old pywidevine(wks-keys), then you give up new pywidevine, you can pip uninstall pywidevine, or use new pywidevine version in python venv.

i think you had give up new pywidevine, so just pip uninstall pywidevine

GlobalTV still 720p max? or is there a 1080p available.

i think you had give up new pywidevine, so just pip uninstall pywidevine

no mate, already done. i'm not interested to new pywidevine, wks is enough for me
but with pip uninstall pywidevine (already done) i have this on run l3.py:

 2. Set PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python (but this will use pure-Python parsing and will be much slower).

pip install protobuf==3.19.5

And why not start another thread? You're talking about python script installations from the beginning...
It has nothing to do with my question

GlobalTV still 720p max? or is there a 1080p available.

Original .mpd file gives utmost 720p

[Attachment 76489 - Click to enlarge]

But I'm interested in how to get 1080p manifest just like those 9c9media videos.

Check your protobuf version (3.20.x or lower).

pip install protobuf==3.19.5

And why not start another thread? You're talking about python script installations from the beginning...
It has nothing to do with my question

yep, it work. thanks. and sorry for "your" thread

Here is the downloader for https://watch.globaltv.com . It works only on free videos. Canadian IP and local cdm needed.

Videos can get deleted from their site so the demo URLs may not work in the future. Make sure you can actually watch what you want to download. The download command doesn't need a VPN so don't forget to turn it off to avoid wasting data. The livestream channels don't even have DRM and for those download commands you should add other parameters according to what you wanna do with that livestream.

I didn't manage to find some hidden mpd for 1080p using their web api unfortunately.

Edit: This script has been added and extended in the widefrog tool so I won't maintain it here. Any relevant updates will take place in the support thread.

Is anyone archiving pepe's amazing automation scripts?

[notaghost]

i think they should be on Github so others can contribute.

Is anyone archiving pepe's amazing automation scripts?

i think they should be on Github so others can contribute.

I actually like it more when they're spread on random (but relevant) forum posts. I think it's more rewarding for users that do actually bother to search the forum. That's why I didn't bother with Github/Bitbucket/etc nor am I advertising/mentioning them. Just posted them once and that's it. But anyone else is free to do whatever they want with those scripts. I don't consider them to be mine from the moment I posted them publicly. It's for the community and to help others start writing their own scripts. It's not rocket science since they're all just data scrapers.
