[Release] - Ozivine - Australian & NZ FTA Downloader

[billybanana]

Hi all,

I've been working on developing some Aussie FTA scripts for use with Devine. That has been more than troublesome for me at this stage and it ended up morphing into it's own separate entity.

So I am happy to release Ozivine 1.0. With this tool you can download from the following Australian free to air services:
Edit 14/07/2024: latest release is now v1.3

• ABC iView (up to 1080p)
• 7Plus (up to 720p)
• 9Now (up to 720p)
• 10Play (up to 720p)
• SBS On Demand (up to 720p)
• ThreeNow (up to 720p)
• TVNZ (up to 1080p)

Please have a good look at the README.md before asking me a million questions.
https://github.com/billybanana80/ozivine

For those of you familiar with Python you'll likely have all the required packages installed already. I have specified a requirements.txt file in case you don't.

Some points to note:

You will need to grab the required tools/executables and place them in the app folder or your PATH similar to Devine and Freevine.

The tools works by you inputting the main video URL. I didn't want to over complicate anything by asking for MPD's or PSSH's or Licence servers etc. This will grab all that stuff for you. You only have to input the video URL and choose Y/N to download it.

You will need an account for 7Plus as this one requires cookies to work and 10Play requires a login. Register for free with an Australian IP address.

The other services ABC iView, 9Now and SBS On Demand you can navigate to the video URL without logging in to the sites, so you do not need an account and no cookies or login is required.

7Plus and 9Now have a combination of encrypted and non-encrypted shows. Most local shows are non-encrypted but that seems to be changing a lot lately. This tool with get either combination.

SBS On Demand is supported by yt-dlp currently but I have found N_m3u8DL-RE is much faster at downloading, so have included this service also.

For our NZ friends TVNZ requires a login for the script, ThreeNow requires a login to navigate around their site.

I've previously been more of a GUI developer utilizing other people's scripts/tools. This is my first effort at coding my own scripts from scratch. I'm sure there will be bugs, but with my new best mate ChatGPT by my side, I'm sure I can figure it out.

Hope you enjoy and have some fun with some undiscovered shows

Nice work

[PSXman_uk]

Excellent work one question does this only download individual eps or series ?

I've got it to download individual eps from a series just wondered

[billybanana]

Excellent work one question does this only download individual eps or series ?

Individual eps at the moment. Search and series links etc I might work on at a later point.

[ElCap]

good job.
btw tenplay does do 720p, you just need to modify the m3u8 url

Oh really. I'll have to have another look at it then

[coltseavers]

Great work, thanks for this.

Everything is working great apart from 7, I've exported the cookies whilst signed in (Netscape format) but I get the below error if you can help please?

←[91mFailed to retrieve ID token from login response←[0m

Everything is working great apart from 7, I've exported the cookies whilst signed in (Netscape format) but I get the below error if you can help please?

I've not been able to replicate the error. For exporting cookies I am using this browser extension:
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/open-cookiestxt/gdocmgbfkjnnpapoeobnolbbkoibbcif

Click on com.au cookies.txt to download.
Rename as SEVEN.txt
Place in folder Ozivine/cookies


[Attachment 80472 - Click to enlarge]

Have you got the path to your cookies file set correctly in the config.yaml ?

Windows wants forward slashes for this path eg:
cookies_path: "D:/Downloads/Ozivine/cookies/SEVEN.txt"

Not sure if it will be different if you're using Linux etc.

[coltseavers]

For exporting cookies I am using this browser extension:
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/open-cookiestxt/gdocmgbfkjnnpapoeobnolbbkoibbcif

Thanks for the quick response, I used a cookies extension which produced a file less than half the size, using your plugin and this is now working fine, thanks again, great job with the project!

Great to hear. Now you only gotta find something worth watching on 7Plus. Most of it is rubbish

[pauli3]

btw tenplay does do 720p, you just need to modify the m3u8 url

Oh really. I'll have to have another look at it then

Yeah confirmed, just change the m3u8 for 720p. tenplay.

Although not super relevant but assume youve done a bit of testing with 7plus? have the site is a mix of m3u8 and drm mpd. Theres some older original content that also is in 1080p, but hard to find.

These are just based off browser endpoints? tested android/smart-tv?

Looks very good btw.

Yes the scripts for 7 and 9 both cater for m3u8 and mpd's. I'm fiddling about with 10play now. Finally got the redirect working to get the correct m3u8. Thanks @ElCap for the advice on that one.

Haven't looked too much into other endpoints just yet. I was having a poke at the SBS apk yesterday, as SBS did give me some specific shows that they are now doing on demand in 1080p. They're not showing up in the browser endpoints, so some more work required to figure them out. Would be awesome to get 1080 from them.

[stabbedbybrick]

Nice work, billy!

[billybanana]

Thanks stabby !

Have now pushed out v1.1 to include 10Play service.

From what is out there, similar to 9now, the live channels are 1080p, but all vod is still 720p. Did test over a year ago intercepting with a fire-tv, but only 720p. Able to confirm that SBS on demand 1080p? maybe mediainfo? that would be big.

[ringy9]

Sorry, my own silly mistake

[billybanana]

Hi have used ozivine for 7plus, 9Now, SBS, and Iview successfully with no VPN required, but with 10 play I get

(env2) C:\env2\Ozivine\ozivine-master>python ozivine.py
Enter the video URL: https://10play.com.au/deal-or-no-deal/episodes/2024/episode-109/tpv240704yzjcp
Unsupported URL. Please enter a valid video URL from 9Now, 7Plus, SBS, or ABC iView.

(env2) C:\env2\Ozivine\ozivine-master>python ozivine.py
Enter the video URL: https://10play.com.au/tulsa-king/episodes/season-1/episode-7/tpv240704dcbne
Unsupported URL. Please enter a valid video URL from 9Now, 7Plus, SBS, or ABC iView.

Have updated using Github and also with zip files. The 10play folder is there?

That's odd. I haven't updated the unsupported URL message (my bad), so that would throw you off a bit, but it shouldn't have affected the functionality as the 10play url is in the first ozizine.py script that kicks it off.

I was able to grab both those shows with the url's you listed.

I did update the release to v1.1 earlier again today but it all looks ok.

[ringy9]

Yeah thanks Billy, it was my error and is fixed now. Just needed to read the fine print with these old eyes

[billybanana]

Like most worthwhile Kiwi things, I have claimed TVNZ as part of Ozivine

Have pushed out v1.2 which now provides support for TVNZ. I did find some content in 1080p, which is the first time I've seen that. Majority of content from this service is 720p. It works for episodes, movies and sport. Haven't got round to adding other minority categories like News etc. Probably won't as this covers most of it.

VPN, smartDNS or proxy is required for a NZ IP address.

TVNZ - Movies and TV Shows no problem. Tried sports Rugby and Basketball both:
Error importing or running the service module: Could not find the video ID in the API response.

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

Threenow.co.nz might be another good kiwi site you could add to your suite of services.

Can you try this one
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/sport/football/uefa-euro/spain-v-france-semi-finals-highlights

I tested about half a dozen sport and they were ok.

Threenow.co.nz might be another good kiwi site you could add to your suite of services.

Indeed, I'm playing around with that one now.

[ringy9]

@billy your highlights link worked no problem so tried a basketball highlights link which also worked perfectly. Tried a Full Replay basketball link and same error message

[billybanana]

What's one of the full replay links you tried ? I'll do some troubleshooting.

[ringy9]

https://www.tvnz.co.nz/sport/basketball/fiba/italy-v-usa-final-u17-mens-world-cup

Another thing I found was a movie Shrek Forever actually downloaded A Smurf movie and the tv show Heavy metal downloaded a Star Trek episode

I wasn't able to replicate the error with that show. It downloaded just fine for me. You got your username/password set in the config ok ?

Have an example of some of the 1080p content? would be cool to test.
