Someone could help to solve this problem please . .

[IceM]

@Strepsyl :
does the video play from the m6 website?
do you use a VPN or directly have a French IP?
can you try the exe version of widefrog ?

[diesel]

i'm am french ip french and Strepsyl member is my friends


I use the python version and it does not work for m6+ with a subscription

[Strepsyl]

I'm french i live in france, i have ip french no need to use a vpn,
Currently it doesn't work anymore.
We use python version who worked before, recently it doesn't work since few days.

Hope the probrem would be solved

Fellas, I appreciate that you're reporting those issues, but I can't solve something that I can't watch. You are free to use other general tools to manually download your videos. Check the other stickies. This tool is meant anyway for batch downloading, not individual videos. So if you're just interested in those specific videos, you might as well use something more general.

[IceM]

does the video play from chorme or edge?
try the exe version of widefrog

[Strepsyl]

Hi,

The video play from chrome & edge correclty but when i use the python version to download the video it doesn't work..

Could you post the link to download the Widefrog.exe & what commands we need to type for use it to download videos please ?

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

You can find the exe in the first post and example commands as well in the first post by ctrl+f searching for m6.fr
The command should be

widefrog.exe "https://www.m6.fr/enquetes-criminelles-p_986/dany-leprince-je-ne-suis-pas-un-assassin-c_13104436"

I guess I could take a closer look at your issue if you send me in private a HAR file with all browser requests when you're loading that video problem.

[Strepsyl]

Hi,
I get a installation error when i try to install browser_cookie3, i don't understant why i get this error :

Hello. Doing a quick google search for "python browser_cookie3 io.h no such file or directory" brings these results

Try to carefully follow the solutions offered by the top accepted answers.

[StrangeX]

@Strepsyl

I performed a clean installation on a windows 11 vm using python 3.13.1 and browser_cookie3 is correctly installed. You probably have some conflicts in your environment or you don't have vs_BuildTools.exe installed

[Attachment 84674 - Click to enlarge]
[Attachment 84675 - Click to enlarge]

If you know why i get the same error plz

thx

[diesel]

the m6-fr.py script was modified in post #239 due to the name change from 6play to m6.fr so I think that it would be necessary to at least update the existing zips with also the modification of the france-tv where it need to change line 54 to post #256

best regards

Hello. If you don't use the veeps service you can delete it without any issues and you'll get rid of the warning. For chompjs I think you need something else installed. Stackoverflow is your friend for these kind of issues.

Hey guys, I am new here, sorry for asking but I couldn't find it anywhere, sorry.

Where do I find a widefrog.py script ?

I've used the code as in the quote, but the command line in my Windows7 does not know what "widefrog.py" is : (
Where does it come from exactly ?

I need to install these tools on my Win7, cause I have this OS only for now and need to use it here. Im just stuck in this place now.
Have all the tools but no widefrog.py script. Maybe my Python version is too old ? (3.8)

Thanks in advance!

Hello. If you read the first post, you can find the script in the first link. Available as executable as well.

Yes You're right, thanks. I thought a source code is used to ... compile Python ?... so I did not download it : ]


Okay... another issue, maybe You can help.
Ill place two screenshots.

The first one is while trying to start "python widefrog.py" - some errors occur but do not know how to check what they are, and how to fix them.

And the second one is whil trying to run widefrog.exe directly - I suppose it is all about using win7 instead of win10+. But maybe You can help me choosing another, probably earlier version or compiling a special version using my win7.

Thanks in advance, appreciate Your help.

PS. I did all the poiints till "playwright install" that is not supported (yeah, win7 again.. I suppose..) as well - screenshot attached.

Python 3.8 was the last version to support Windows 7

I don't think it really matters, as far as I know there is a workaround up to 3.12.x as I remember, that works like a charm on Win7 : )

for instance here: https://github.com/adang1345/PythonWin7

The thing is, is this a Python problem or OS version and lack of certain libraries.
