Trying to download RTL Plus video

[stevetur29]

Hi there.

I am digging in several threads and I tried to download a video from RTL Plus.

Here is the video URL:
https://plus.rtl.de/video-tv/shows/hurricane-festival-993850/2024-6-1008128/episode-17...l-2024v-993875

MDP:
https://vodnowusoawsdash-a.akamaihd.net/p112/cves/sd/rtlplus/993875/1-1-1-3-2.ism/v1.mpd


PSSH (from the MDP):

I was able to get these keys from https://keysdb.net/ with the license URL : https://cwip-shaka-proxy.appspot.com/no_auth

39eda0e44957509ebb6408fe72250d46:a055180e63558a17a 703916e4b8a510e

ccce6b81fcd65fb6ba1c3d67cc3c02d3:55abe31715a55ff36 2cee03361fb68d9

I downloaded the video with yt-dlp, but when I tried to decrypt the video with mp4decryptor, I always getting a video without image and sound.

If anyone can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks,
Steve

Hi there!
Thanks for the download link.

Can you tell me what I did wrong?
I think it is the license URL, but where did you find it?

Thanks,
Steve

The license url is :

https://widevine.tvnow.de/index/rtlplus

and you also need to add to the header 'x-auth-token'. The keys you got are probably from cache.

[Obo]

I think it is the license URL, but where did you find it?

In your browsers developer console open the "Network" tab and filter for commonly used names in the license url: lic, drm, widevine, ...

If you still aren't able to locate the license url, look for binary data in the preview or response of every single request made. If you've seen it once, you know exactly what it looks like.

Copy that request as "Copy as cURL" and look for potentially important headers - token, unusual header names ... You'll probably not need every single header field for the license request, but it doesn't hurt to use them all.

To add to this:

A license url request will always be a POST request, which narrows it down a lot already.
Often there is an initial OPTIONS request, immediately (or shortly) followed by a POST to that same url.
If there is two POST requests, the payload of the first one is 8,4 a lot of the time

Thanks guys,
I was able to find the correct license URL, but unfortunately I was not able to get the key using http://108.181.133.95:8080/ for example.
I always get an error.

And yes, I set the HEADER X-Auth-Token with the value from my browser in the Dev Tools, but no success.

[aqzs]

Probably because of geo restriction. Use this header :

headers = {
   'x-auth-token': ACCES_TOKEN,
   'x-forwarded-for': '47.65.137.89',
}

[stevetur29]

Oh wow, that was just it!
Thank you so much!

By exchanging "1-1-1-3-2.ism" with "1-1-1-1-1.ism" I can get better resolutions for series and shows. What do I have to do to get better resolutions for films?

For example this free one:

I've found the solution in this post:
https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/412143-Can-someone-help-me-to-download-a-video-fro...e3#post2750386

Does anybody know if there's also a way to get better audio bitrates? Or even 5.1 sound?

10000 instead of 4000

No 5.1 on RTL plus only stereo AAC.
