Download from RTL Play

[Kiwaki]

Hi guys,

I tried different methods to download a video from RTL Play, with no success so far...

The link to the video (site requires login) is:
https://www.rtlplay.be/rtl-info-19h-p_8553/rtl-info-19-heures-17-03-24-c_13060570

Any suggestion to solve this issue is very welcome. Thanks!

I dunno if there are other hidden resolutions. 540p seems kinda low.

Here is the downloader for https://www.rtlplay.be . It works only for free videos that don't have geographic restrictions. In theory, it should work for those as well if you have a good IP, but I don't know for sure because I couldn't test it (even with a free VPN). The script requires a mail/password.

I managed to find the manifest for the highest resolution by using their API but it's kinda useless if you can't decrypt the content. The key you get works for resolutions lower than 720p (in some cases it works even for 720p but rarely). I don't know if I'm doing something wrong with the license call or after a certain date, they added L1 for newer videos at higher resolutions. Maybe someone can shed some light on this issue.

If it fails for a specific video, try changing "format_mpd=True" to False. I added a way in which the manifest URL can be changed to get rid of its original query parameters that can expire so you could share the download command without being restricted to a timeframe. But if you're using the script just for yourself, you can set it to be always False.

Edit: I noticed that the manifest file has multiple pssh values for different resolutions. However, even if you use the pssh corresponding to the highest resolution, you still get the same key that doesn't work.

Thanks for your reply! But I have to say I'm totally lost. I've zero expertise with code

Then stick to the manual way. You can find more info on the sticky threads (all of them).

Here's your 540p requested video. https://www.transfernow.net/dl/20240322fsjmZdwg
Maybe someone else can get 720p for you. I tested the key and it doesn't work.

Hi,

Thanx for your script 2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi. I just tried it and got this error. All the other scripts found here (ITV, C4, boltgeneric) work correctly. Any idea what the problem is?

C:\Users\Me\WKS-KEYS\rtlplay.py", line 6, in <module>
from pywidevine.cdm import Cdm
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pywidevine.cdm'

Maybe it's related to the wvd file which is not in the right place? (I saw in your script a line WVD_FILE = "./device_wvd_file.wvd") I never needed it until now, everything worked with the 2 files device client id blob and device private key. I added the wvd file with the 2 mentioned above (here: C:\Users\Me\WKS-KEYS\pywidevine\L3\cdm\devices\android_generic)

If it helps, here's my pywidevine version: pywidevine version 1.8.0

Move rtlplay.py to another directory and run it again. You unfortunately placed it in WKS-KEYS directory, which has its own pywidevine folder, so your rtlplay.py is mistakenly using that local (and old) pywidevine library instead.

[pouki2]

It works, thank you white_snake.

I tried to adapt it for 6play (it's the same company as RTL) which uses the same license by modifying the script but without success. I'll keep looking for what's wrong
