[Release] - Ozivine - Australian & NZ FTA Downloader

[billybanana]

Just load it and base your script on the endpoints found in there.

Thanks mate @stabbedbybrick. That worked a treat. Saved me 50 odd lines of code in my solution.

Note to anyone else following this thread, I will post an updated release to GitHub tomorrow.

@billybanana, thank you so much for all these updates and for the one tomorrow you mentioned. I did test out what you posted earlier:

https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/415165-[Release]-Ozivine-Australian-NZ-FTA-Downloader/page4#post2749497

For me in the US, this works great to get the full m3u8 url. I did edit a bit for my needs. Thank you so much.

Also @stabbedbybrick, you prove to help us all in so many threads directly and indirectly! Thank you as well!

Gets wrong audio with the audio description version

Manually selected correct version

Gets wrong audio with the audio description version

Manually selected correct version

ABC are a pain in that they switch the descriptive audio between the 1 & 2 values quite often. I hard coded "audio-en-mp4a-1" in one version of the script I was messing around with but that didn't always guarantee getting the right one. Not sure if I could use "Alternate" with the drop audio function. Would need to play with that.

13:52:46.507 INFO : Aud *CENC audio-en-mp4a-2 | 138 Kbps | mp4a.40.2 | en | 2CH | 1 Segment | Alternate | ~57m17s
13:52:46.507 INFO : Aud *CENC audio-en-mp4a-1 | 135 Kbps | mp4a.40.2 | en | 2CH | 1 Segment | ~57m17s

I had this issue a while back with Midsommer Murders S024 I think downloaded the lot and had to re download and select other audio not sure if you can add a drop "Alternate" in the script could be interesting if you can if not its no biggie just change the audio to download

[sipho]

Just select ALL audio tracks and either ignore the 2nd if it's the AD track or re-order in post. You'll only know when you play the video.

Looking at TVNZ this afternoon and some content is popping up in 1080p. Previously I'd only seen sport or the odd movie.
eg: https://www.tvnz.co.nz/shows/seal-team/episodes/s7-e5

Interesting that the previous 4 episodes in the current series are all 720p. One to keep an eye on for sure, especially for me given this is on a paid service P+ in Australia.

If you drop pulling it from the MPD file, jump the JSON and pull the 720.m3u8 url and modify it to be 1080.m3u8 youll both remove the reliance on the DRM'd stream and probably fix your audio. Thats how I grab it and never had an audio issue.

Do you mean like so ? it still selects the audio-en-mp4a-2 by default ?

[wastedhate]

nah thats still using the mpd line. This is the start of mine, its done as a windows batch file but preduces the result:

set /p iviewurl=Enter the URL for the Iview Episode: 
Extractors\yt-dlp.exe "%iviewurl%" --dump-json > output.json
Extractors\jq.exe -r .formats[0].manifest_url output.json > iview.txt
@Powershell "(Get-Content iview.txt) -replace '720.m3u8', '1080.m3u8' | Set-Content HDURL.txt"

The resulting HDURL.txt file will have the m3u8 variant of the file in it. Thats what I pull the video from and have never had an issue with audio.

Shows no audio stream ?

[PSXman_uk]

Fixed weird how it shows no audio then downloads with audio and subs thanks again

[wastedhate]

Cause the audio is already muxed with the file on their servers when you download it.

[PSXman_uk]

Looks like VT script
