Because it worked without it before.

Also, an error message now appears during installation:

heiko@Worf:~$ pip install virtualenv
error: externally-managed-environment

    python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to

If the numpy package is missing, then simply install it. There should be a version available via apt (use "sudo -i" to open a root shell or execute the commands with "sudo ..."):

apt-get update; apt-get install python3-numpy

Regarding venv: read the message carefully. If you want to use a virtual env (which I personally find rather cumbersome to use, so I avoid it whereever I can...), Ubuntu should already have installed everything you need. If not: there surely is a package available via apt.

I'm no expert on this, but I managed to get VTMGO working again.

I found that lfvp_disabled_storefronts was empty, which caused this check to fail.

I commented this out and it worked again.

#assert cookie_dict["lfvp_auth_token"] is not None.

You can install modules in a local directory under your home dir or /usr/local/. You'll probably have to set PYTHONPATH environment variable. To see the directories python looks for modules, enter

echo 'import sys; print(sys.path)' | python

Any directory listed here is searched for modules.

You can download the pywidevine module as .tar.gz from here: https://pypi.org/project/pywidevine/#files and unpack it in a module directory.

Or bite the bullet and learn how to setup a venv. Easiest probably is to use pipx.

I downloaded and unpacked Pywidevine. Then copied it to /usr/lib/python3.12 using sudo rsync -a.

But it still can't find the module.

I'd create the directory /usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages and unpack the sources in there, so that the pywidevine directory is the top-level directory here (move the pywidevine dir out of pywidevine-1.8.0 dir, i.e. after unpacking it should look like:

/usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages/pywidevine

)

[Data2006]

That worked. But now something's missing again.
What could all this be? widefrog.py was still running before the upgrade to 24.04.

Hi.

I once created an environment, but I can't call widefrogpy from there either:

heiko@Worf:~/test$ cd Environment
heiko@Worf:~/test/Environment$ source bin/activate
(Environment) heiko@Worf:~/test/Environment$ python3 widefrog.py
python3: can't open file '/home/heiko/test/Environment/widefrog.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
(Environment) heiko@Worf:~/test/Environment$ cd ~
(Environment) heiko@Worf:~$ cd "Downloads/Widefrog v3.2.0"
(Environment) heiko@Worf:~/Downloads/Widefrog v3.2.0$ python3 widefrog.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/heiko/Downloads/Widefrog v3.2.0/widefrog.py", line 6, in <module>
    from utils.main_service import main_service
  File "/home/heiko/Downloads/Widefrog v3.2.0/utils/main_service.py", line 10, in <module>
    import requests
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'
(Environment) heiko@Worf:~/Downloads/Widefrog v3.2.0$

I don't understand why widefrog.py no longer works. Is this related to the upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04.2?

Best regards
Heiko

[Obo]

Yes, this is related to the update to Ubuntu 24.

Most of the missing packages are available as packages via apt - search for them (requests definitely is one of the most used packages that is not bundled with python).

Alternatively make yourself comfortable with using virtual envs. This thread is about widefrog and IMO shouldn't drift off into a course on how to manage a python installation.

I wanted to test rakuten and 35mm online. Does it work only for free content? I dont see login/pass field in config for them.

On Ubuntu, I always install with sudo apt install.
In the virtual environment, do I have to enter something with pip or pip3?! What is the exact command?

Would you mind starting a new thread on this topic? It's offtopic here, and this is my last post in this thread on this topic

[diesel]

Is this script still maintained? There haven't been any updates for a while.
RTLPlay service no longer works.
Lots of bugs with the Python version.

Thanks for your future answers.

Best Regards.

[Data2006]

OK. I've created a new virtual environment, Environment2. Suddenly pip started running.

Then I ran this command. And everything was installed.

grep -v '^#' requirements.txt | xargs -n 1 pip install

Tried widefrog.py. And now it's finally working again. I just don't understand why. I installed the requirements.txt file in Environment2. Was that the problem?

Thank you so much.

Best regards
Heiko
