    It does help, thanks! Apparently, you can simply ask for the non-Widevine HLS stream, which is not something I even considered. And since it's the DASH parser in Devine that has issues, this seems to solve the main problem.

  2. All right, DSCP has been updated once again. It will now look for the unencrypted HLS instead of the DRM encrypted DASH. I've tested both regular shows and the Olympic streams, and everything seems to work fine in multiple regions. I still can't test the tnt sport streams and such since I don't have access to them, but I assume they follow the same pattern as everything else.

    If you need the DASH version for whatever reason, you can request it with '-v H.265' even if there aren't any H.265 tracks available.

    Nice one! I'm glad it was helpful and thank you for updating it. Works really well

    ```
    It looks like the certificate is MD5 hashed which OpenSSL is complaining is too weak. I am using Ubuntu 24.04
    Interesting - I fixed the problem (sort of). Anyway, it works.

    The install of devine above was on my Ubuntu 24.04 environment. That works for everything apart from the error I got about SSL certificates when trying to download UHD from iPlayer.

    My machine dual boots into Windows as well. I decided to try with an installation of devine (through pip) under Windows, with the same .pem file for BBC iPlayer.

    Under Windows, everything works fine, including UHD.

    I suspect it is an issue with OpenSSL on Ubuntu although I did try going right back to OpenSSL 1.0.2 and building Python against that, which also didn't work.

    Anyway, maybe this will help someone else out with the same problem.
    The request that handles the cert is using python's own default cipher list, which is different from OpenSSL as far I understand it. So the problem shouldn't be with OpenSSL in this case. My Ubuntu setup is also using a newer version, and it works fine. It might be possible that the specific python version you're on is using a different cipher list, but I honestly don't know. You could try python v3.10-12 if you haven't already and see if it makes any difference, since I know these versions work at least for me.
    Thanks. I updated from the Git services repository this morning and now I can download UHD from my Ubuntu machine.

    Weird. At this point I've messed around so much that I can't tell what actually fixed it.

    This is Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with Python 3.12.3
    Ok, I worked out a repeatable solution to the SSL errors that I was getting trying to download 4K content from iPlayer on Ubuntu 24.04.

    In addition to the normal steps to get devine running, I had to do the following. This is in a venv with Python 3.12.3

    ```
    pip install certifi
    python
    > import certify
    > certify.where()
    /xxx/devine/env/lib/python3.12/site-packages/certifi/cacert.pem
    > exit()
    ```

    Take the certifi certificate path, including the cacert.pem component. Edit ~/.bashrc and add the following environment variable:

    ```
    export REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=/xxx/env/lib/python3.12/site-packages/certifi/cacert.pem (the path from the previous step).
    ```
    Now restart your terminal so the profile change takes effect and run devine as usual.

    UHD content on H.265 should now download without problems.

    Hope this helps someone else out.

    Maybe at some point, but not at the moment. If I remember correctly, their API was annoying as hell when it came to dealing with various regions and I vowed to never return

    But you never know.

    Thanks for all your recent help stabby.
    I am still having problems with devine and DSCP.
    I'm using stabby's latest devine-services in github

    Take this Olympics one: devine dl dscp https://www.discoveryplus.com/gb/video/olympics/eurosport-2-british-eurosport-2-britis...urfing-7296758
    I get
    Code:
     1 Video
         └── [H.264, SDR] | en-GB | 1920x1080 @ 9507 kb/s, 50.000 FPS
              ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • 01:07 • Downloaded
         1 Audio
         └── [AAC] | en | 2.0
              ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • 01:59 • Downloaded
    
         Track downloads finished in 2m5s
         Cannot extract Closed Captions as the ccextractor executable was not
         found...
         Failed to Mux video to Matroska file (2)
         Multiplexing... ⠴ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ •
    So, no final muxed file in the downloads folder. The decrypted audio & video streams are in the temp folder, which means I can obviously mux them myself, but that's not the point.

    Also, it says ccextractor not found. I have it installed and it's in C:\Program Files (x86)\CCExtractor. A PATH to that is set in my Environmental settings.

    Now, let's take this one: devine dl dscp https://www.discoveryplus.com/gb/video/wheeler-dealers/porsche-part-2
    I get
    Code:
    ───────────────────── Series: Porsche - Part 2 (2007) ──────────────────────
    
         1 Season, 1 Episode
    
      ───────────────────────── Porsche - Part 2 S01E02 ──────────────────────────
    
         There's no ['en'] Audio Track, cannot continue...
    Well, the audio sounds very English to me.

    This works fine though : devine dl dscp https://www.discoveryplus.com/gb/video/richard-hammonds-workshop/london-classic-car-show

    If it can't find ccextractor, that means it's not properly in your system PATH. Always test everything by calling it in your terminal before running any script.

    If you "--list" it, it says the audio language is "es" so that's what you have to select even if it's actually English. The language is taken from the tags in the manifest, so if it's wrong that's just a sign of a shitty production on their part. While making the DSCP script, I noticed several streams were improperly tagged when it came to language so I do know it happens occasionally. It just comes with the territory for these lower tier services.

    From the manifest:
    Code:
    # AUDIO groups
    #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=AUDIO,GROUP-ID="audio-aacl-64",LANGUAGE="es",NAME="Spanish; Castilian",DEFAULT=YES,AUTOSELECT=YES,CHANNELS="2",URI="a1_audio/prog_index.m3u8"
    #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=AUDIO,GROUP-ID="audio-aacl-160",LANGUAGE="es",NAME="Spanish; Castilian",DEFAULT=YES,AUTOSELECT=YES,CHANNELS="2",URI="a2_audio/prog_index.m3u8"
    To select language where the video and audio doesn't match:
    Code:
    -l es -vl en

    There's some hope then, you vowed to never return to Pluto also - joking aside, thank you for your continued work, very much appreciated.

    OK, thanks for that stabby. It makes sense. I have tried: devine dl -l es -vl en dscp https://www.discoveryplus.com/gb/video/wheeler-dealers/porsche-part-2

    That downloaded OK. However, the audio track selected was 64Kbps and not the 'best' one of 160Kbps. I also found this to be the case with https://www.discoveryplus.com/gb/video/salvage-hunters/not-all-for-sale where I know for certain there's a 160Kbps audio track.

    I thought that devine was supposed to default to best for both audio and video. How do I get it to select 'best' for audio?

    Also, you showed the 'AUDIO GROUPS' from the manifest. How do you get that information?
    If I do a --list, it does not tell me the bitrates of audio, only that there's two streams:

    I thought maybe I could use yt-dlp to give me the info, but it came back with 'This video is only available for registered users. You may want to use --cookies' which I thought I was doing:

  14. Hi there peoples, hope you're all okay?

    I've just setup devine from fresh in a vm and when I run a command to download from DSCP I'm getting this error...

    ImportError: DLL load failed while importing marisa_trie: The specified module
    could not be found.
    (env) PS C:\Users\User\git\devine-333-pip>

    What do I need to install to fix this error? thanks for the help I really appreciate the cleaver people here!

    I worked it out it was a missing Visual C++ Redistributable DLL

    I thought that devine was supposed to default to best for both audio and video. How do I get it to select 'best' for audio?

    Also, you showed the 'AUDIO GROUPS' from the manifest. How do you get that information?

    I thought maybe I could use yt-dlp to give me the info, but it came back with 'This video is only available for registered users. You may want to use --cookies' which I thought I was doing:
    yt-dlp --allow-u -F --cookies D:\devine\cookies\dscp.txt https://www.discoveryplus.com/gb/video/wheeler-dealers/porsche-part-2
    It will pick the best one if it can properly parse and separate the audio tracks from the manifest. Most of the time this is automatic and successful, but in these cases it can't find the bitrates and properly sort them so it's random which one gets downloaded. The tracks would have to be manually parsed, edited and added in the service code, which is kind of a pain. If it's becoming a too common occurrence, I'll take a look at it.

    In the meantime, you can either use '-l all' to download all tracks and select the one you want when playing it, or use '-v H.265' to request the DASH manifest instead, which will properly sort the audio tracks.

    You can find the "AUDIO GROUPS" inside the .m3u8 source URL.

  16. Been "lurking" for a few days on here, but thought I'd finally join...

    On a Windows setup, I followed @pssh 's link at: https://telegra.ph/Devine-On-Win-SHORT-v001-04-17 - studied it in meticulous detail and got everything working first time! And that's from someone with ZERO coding/scripting abilities.

    Much appreciated @stabbedbybrick for the services at: https://cdm-project.com/stabbedbybrick/devine-services

    I'm not sure how I can contribute/give back, but if you need access to any services/VPNs (to help support, or develop more...) that you don't currently have, I'm willing to share my access with you.

    @billybanana, @A_n_g_e_l_a, @larley - I've been using your scripts too!

    If you're reading this, and thinking of giving these scripts a go, I would HIGHLY suggest taking a moment and reading through ALL the posts in the thread of the script you're using. You'll find (most likely!) that any issue you experience along the way isn't unique, so you'll be better prepared to deal with it.

  17. @MonkeyMagic:

    Glad to hear it worked out for you! Always nice to see someone reap the benefits from doing a little bit of homework

    As for the offer to share access, you're more than welcome to send a message with info. I can't promise it will turn into a script, though. At least not a public one. The scripts I post publicly tend to be for more "innocent" services, partly because of forum rules but also because posting code for the higher level services brings a different kind of attention. But if you have something cool that's also challenging, I'm definitely interested.

    Sage advice, unfortunately most people don't take it

    I have a Notepad++ doc that details all the little titbits of advise about devine that are applicable to me. I add to it when other useful posts come along. I did the same with freevine.

    It's a good reference for me.

    Any idea how to set a quality fail-over? In other words, download 540p but if it doesn't exist, try 432p and then 360p.

    Anyone using a free working VPN for STV ? I have a smartDNS which works fine but interferes with my Aust options, so looking at another solution for that. I can't get STV to download using the hola proxy set as GB. I also have Privado VPN as a paid option but none of the UK servers play ball with STV either.

    If you are using windows, cant you just user dns jumper with smart dns?
    Code:
    https://www.sordum.org/7952/dns-jumper-v2-3/
    Just switch to smart dns when you want to use STV and switch it back to default dns when you have downloaded it?

  24. Is anyone else having problems grabbing 1080p from Channel 5? Older shows are fine but the new ones don't seem to get 1080p. Have C5 changed their security?

    Might be a CDN or ingest issue upstream somewhere..?

    As trying the My5 app on AppleTV isn't showing any HD for shows aired this evening.

    Fingers crossed that it's their side and they'll resolve it soon and not them changing their security.

  27. Interesting. As far as I know, only Samsung get HD from My5, and the way we get it is by editing the manifest URL. If we're unlucky, they've might have caught on and closed this loophole.

    That would be a shame if they have. Anything that aired yesterday isn't 1080 but older stuff is which is strange.

    I've noticed that if I play one of the new files in the browser, the quality is only available in SD and not HD but the older files have the option for HD. Maybe it is something Channel 5 have messed up?

  29. I also checked on UK-FTA (Thanks A_n_g_e_l_a) and 468p SD seems to be the top level for yesterday, confirms what SaLTy says.

    Samsung TV is still getting HD on new content from yesterday, whereas that same content is only SD on a browser and any other device (Apple and Android) that I've tried.

    I initially thought it was an ingest issue upstream for sure, but that was until I checked on a Samsung TV.

    A quick dump of the traffic looks exactly how it was before the loophole/workaround was found i.e. getting an ISM manifest which only has Playready encryption.
