Trying to download a private Vimeo with yt-dlp

[eska78]

Hello from France everyone !

As a newbie, I'm trying to download a video, using command lines and yt-dlp.
I think I'm not far from a result, but there are still errors...

Could please someone help on that ?

use N_m3u8DL-RE and put also ffmpeg on same folder

then run:

N_m3u8DL-RE "your_mpd_link" -M format=mkv --save-name xxx

(use arrow key to choose res and space for X, then press enter to start download)

Bonjour eska78,

There is no written convention (I am no aware of it) where to keep EXEcutable files that are
not part of Installation package.

I prefer to keep them in the HOME DIRectory callled "bin" for BINARY

There are few that are usefull when messing around with Streaming services.

Windows has Windows Terminal that you can use Command Prompt = CMD or PowerShell = PS

IMHO PS is better simmilar to BASH in Linux so below commands are for PS.



# To open up Windows PowerShell (PS) press:

WinKey+x + i

# or
# WinKey + R:
# type:

powershell

#or

wt

# [pres ENTER]


# To maximise the "window" press:

WinKey + "arrow up"

# ALL THE BELOW COMMANDS HAVE BEEN TESTED AND ARE WORKING IF USED IN PowwerShell


# Create a "bin" in your HOME dir from PS:

mkdir $home\bin

# Lets get Aria2 as a downloader and FFMpeg installed (It's missing on your system):

winget install --id aria2.aria2
winget install --id Gyan.FFmpeg

#Now download all needed EXEcutable files:
# YT-DLP

aria2c https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp_x86.exe --dir  $home\bin\ -o yt-dlp.exe

# Cross-Platform, modern and powerful stream downloader for MPD/M3U8/ISM - N_m3u8DL-RE:

aria2c https://github.com/stabbedbybrick/N_m3u8DL-RE/releases/download/20240304/N_m3u8DL-RE_Beta_win-x64.zip --dir $home\Downloads\
tar -tzf $home\Downloads\N_m3u8DL-RE_Beta_win-x64.zip | findstr N_m3u8DL-RE.exe
tar -xzvf $home\Downloads\N_m3u8DL-RE_Beta_win-x64.zip -C $home\bin\

# Shaka Packager

aria2c https://github.com/shaka-project/shaka-packager/releases/download/v3.0.4/packager-win-x64.exe --dir $home\bin\ -o shaka-packager.exe

# Bento4 MP4 tools:

aria2c https://www.bok.net/Bento4/binaries/Bento4-SDK-1-6-0-641.x86_64-microsoft-win32.zip --dir $home\Downloads\
tar -tzf $home\Downloads\Bento4-SDK-1-6-0-641.x86_64-microsoft-win32.zip | findstr .exe
tar --verbose --directory=/Bento4-SDK-1-6-0-641.x86_64-microsoft-win32/bin/ --extract --file=$home\Downloads\Bento4-SDK-1-6-0-641.x86_64-microsoft-win32.zip --strip-components=2 -C $home\bin\ *.exe

# Add the BIN DIR to Windows PATH you need elevated PS:

WinKey+x + a

# And "Alt + Y" when "User Account Cotnrol" pop-up window appears.

# Not sure what your username is? Enter this command into your PS:

$env:UserName

# And ENTER the below command without the "#" at the start and change your username from "user" to what ever it is on your PC in the PATH.

#setx /M path "%PATH%;c:\Users\user\bin\"

So if your username was "eska78" the command would look like this:

setx /M path "%PATH%;c:\Users\eska78\bin\"

# Close all the PowerShell WIndows and open up NEW one and your EXEcutable files will be available in the Windows PATH.
(Now you can call/execute the below packages from any PATH on your system).

ffprobe -version
yt-dlp --version
N_m3u8DL-RE --version
shaka-packager --version
mp4decrypt

Now you are ready to go:


#Check what is avaiable

yt-dlp --allow-u -F --no-warnings <mpd|m3u8 url>
yt-dlp --allow-u -f "ID of VIDEO stream+ID of AUDIO stream" --no-warnings <mpd|m3u8 url>

#N_m3u8DL-RE allows you to select what ever you want to download
in terms of specific VIDEO/AUDIO/SUBTITELS or ALL


#To see what is available:

for me yt-dlp can download, also without ffmpeg
maybe your version is outdated

download latest version from here: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/download/2024.04.09/yt-dlp.exe

and if you want also ffmpeg https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/ffmpeg-git-full.7z
