Devine - Modular Movie, TV, and Music Archival Software

Okay, I've added CBC to the repository.

After some testing, I found that the only reliable way for CCExtractor not to fail was to remove its code. I added a note about where to do it in the help text:

devine dl CBC -?

This service was way more trouble than it's worth, so I'm just going to wash my hands of its crap and move on
Thankfully, yt-dlp seems to be a good backup in this case if this one doesn't work for you.

Robustness:
      AES-128: 1080p, DDP5.1

What does that mean?

cbc use CCExtractor for subtitle.srt. make sure clean your temp folder before dl cbc

ccextractor.exe -1 -out=srt -bom -latin1 "C:\Users\PATH\devine\temp\Video_1fc35ec8.mp4"

merge all video, audio and subtitles with mkvtooknix

If you're referring to "Robustness", it's how robust each system is for each level and quality. For example, when you try to license keys using an unsupported security level (like using L3 when L1 is required), you might get "robustness failure" as a response.

If you mean "AES-128", it's an encryption method that is less invasive than DRM and no CDMs are needed to decrypt it. The key is often found in the manifest itself.

Thank you very much.

A short update on CBC: It doesn't actually seem to be an issue with either CCExtractor or the N_m3u8DL-RE branch. The problem is seemingly with my Windows setup where the paths get crossed somehow. Running it on my linux setup everything works fine.

Totally my bad, and just thought I'd mention it.

Edit: Scratch that. Turns out the real issue is with CCExtractor v.0.94. If you're on windows, you need to downgrade to v0.93. Most Linux package managers only go up to v.0.93 by default, that's why it's working on there.

This turned out to be a real roller coaster for such a small service

Thanks for that works fine with 0.93 so do the other services so its no issue

I've been telling people to not use 0.94 but over at CCE they don't seem to think there's a problem.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. Does AES-128 encryption require a .pem certificate to connect?

No, they're two different things. AES is the encryption on the files, while a cert is about authentication/security for a network request.

Can anyone help me I have never used this program and I have spent hours trying to figure this out and I have no clue what I am doing wrong, but I keep getting this error...
Failed to load Widevine CDM, my.wvd does not exist or is not a file

But I put it in the path it said it wanted and the file very much does exist, so I have no idea what the issue is?

Hi,

Try entering the following commands :

devine wvd add c:\rclone\ANDROID_4464_l3.wvd
devine cfg cdm.default ANDROID_4464_l3

You need to put the full path of where you have your wvd file (so replace c:\rclone\ANDROID_4464_l3.wvd with your own).
For the cdm.default you put the name of your wvd file without the .wvd extension.

Hope this helps.

@stabbedbybrick do you have an example show for CBC that uses Widevine ? All the ones I've tried so far have been AES-128.

Thank you so much, I had done both these steps multiple times, what I was doing wrong was on "devine cfg cdm.default ANDROID_4464_l3" I was putting it in as "devine cfg cdm.default ANDROID_4464_l3.wvd". So thank you for the example it helped a lot.

@stabbedbybrick is there a way with the CBC downloader to select just a specific episode of a show and also how can you pick 5.1 it is defaulting to 2ch for me? I use to have the same issue in freevine, but there I could do --select-audio name=EC-3 and it would then get the 5.1 audio.

You can use this for a single episode and to choose the audio stream. eg: Killing Eve S01E01

devine dl --acodec DD+ -w s01e01 cbc https://gem.cbc.ca/killing-eve

[sipho]

credential location for cbc? cookie or devine.yaml

I added them to devine.yaml and it seems to work just fine.

Unfortunately, CBC doesn't provide any bitrate info for audio so you have to select the track like @billybanana mentioned.

If you're new to Devine, I suggest reading the documentation:

Available commands and options:

devine --help
devine dl --help

Config options: https://github.com/devine-dl/devine/blob/master/CONFIG.md
Cookies/Credentials: https://github.com/devine-dl/devine?tab=readme-ov-file#cookies--credentials

And always check the help documentation for each service since I put general usage information in there:

devine dl CBC --help
