Problems with PlutoTV

[misiek1963]

Good evening, my friends. I'd like to solve the problems I've encountered in downloading from free site PlutoTV, so I'm asking your always precious advices. To make an example, let's consider the following video url: https://pluto.tv/it/on-demand/series/6329d68c34b53d00131dc6fd/season/1/episode/6329d69...b53d00131dc748. Inspecting I found the PSSH

It is, but it seems the whole episode is split in 3 different video streams, meaning you should download all three of them (audio seems split in two), then append one to another and finally mux video and audio. To avoid all this pain you should do as Silv3r said and use Freevine which will handle the whole thing and download the same video at 720p instead of 480p (actually it will download from an alternative manifest in .m3u8 format). After setting it up, just run:

python freevine.py get --episode S01E01 https://pluto.tv/it/on-demand/series/6329d68c34b53d00131dc6fd

[whs912km]

i'm really curious: how does freevine find the m3u8 link? maybe from the json file?

my goal is get m3u8 link and download with N_m3u8DL-RE

and also: before yt-dlp can support pluto tv, now does not work. maybe an old version can find (and download) m3u8 link?

[Tom Saurus]

Freevine has been adapted to work with PlutoTV quite well. You can get the keys and such via Freevine and prepare a line a code for N_m3u8DL-RE which I have done in the past on occasion. Freevine has a manifest with such information in the temp folder. But unless it is some problem file that isn't working with Freevine correctly you should just let Freevine download it for you. Freevine used N-m3u8DL-RE as its downloader and is adaptable to what quality you want to download. Another thing to consider is I noticed a lip sync problem with Pluto TV and it was because even if you downloaded the file and it look correct when you played it back there could be at times a considerable lip sync problems sometimes it was just slight sometime very glaring. It had something to do with the commercials being taken out. This wasn't all files but it certainly enough for me to notice. I posted about it and stabbedbybrick found a remedy that fixed the lip syn problem.

One of the things that revealed the lip sync issue is the timestamps. Look in "N_m3u8DL-RE Giving It A Try" where I learned how to work with it. I eventually saved a text template in which I change the "keys" to the ones needed for the current video I was trying to get and put in the appropriate URL and such and then just dropped that in the command line in N_m378DL-RE and then selected the quality and such I wanted by choosing the appropriate box and then giving the program the go ahead to download.

I apologize I'm answering so late, tried to use Freevine, I've followed the procedure and installed all requirements, but I couldn't make it work, I get this error all the time

Of course I double checked and file config.yaml is present and in place. Weird, isn't it? You mentioned about an alternative manifest with .m3u8, is it possible to find it, so I can download streams manually with N_m3u8DL-RE? Thank you very, very much for all your kind help. Have a nice evening

Place yourself in the folder that contains freevine.py first (in other words, don't run freevine.py with its absolute path from a different working directory).

You have to install the modules required by freevine. While in freevine's folder, run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

[whs912km]

thanks @Tom Saurus for your wondeful explanation, but my doubt remains: how to freevine can find m3u8?

If he finds it, it means that the link is present somewhere in the data traffic (network tab). but where?

thanks @Tom Saurus for your wondeful explanation, but my doubt remains: how to freevine can find m3u8?

If he finds it, it means that the link is present somewhere in the data traffic (network tab). but where?

And this is the clue fact, it should be a place in traffic tab where we can find it.

Only way to know this is to look at the code, but it's possible Freevine uses a different API than your browser, for example the API for Android (probably not the case here though).

Thank you very, very much for all advices, patience and help. I changed directories with cd command, but now I got the following different error

Here are a few possible solutions to your problem: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53406638/importerror-cannot-import-name-etree-on-python-3-6

ok understand. and you can find m3u8 link from link posted on first post? i can't find. only mpd with low res (480p)

Use the source Luke! freevine uses

api: "https://service-vod.clusters.pluto.tv/v4/vod"

Compare for yourself how that differs from what your browser does.

In #6 you said: "my goal is get m3u8 link and download with N_m3u8DL-RE" - freevine does exactly what you want.

Thank you so very much, really, for all your efforts in helping, I've checked stackoverflow and I tried Windows proposed solutions. I've tried uninstalling and installing lxml package, too. Unfortunately, no avail

Not sure then, if I were you I would either upgrade Python to a newer version or create a virtual env just for Freevine, and run the pip command again. Here's a guide: https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/411862-Beyond-WKS-KEYS

If you already installed all the needed modules with "pip install -r requirements.txt", then just simply run:

pip install urllib3

I only infor that I got the following error in downloading Episode 3:
[CODE]05:23:58.106 ERROR: The input data is not a complete block.[\CODE]
Anyway it's not a problem, as with freevine I got the right .m3u8 and I can download with yt-dlp or old youtube-dl. Have a nice evening
