[release] AllHellGui

[A_n_g_e_l_a]

MalMen has released an excellent fork of HellYes that uses a Chrome browser extension to find both mpd and license curl automatically. The only user input is the video title and key presses to start an automatic download. It uses the terminal version - allHell3.py to get the keys and start the download.


[Attachment 85701 - Click to enlarge]

I congratulate MalMen on his excellent work so far. I know he has plans already in the pipeline to write for browsers other than Chrome. It is work in progress.

See https://github.com/MalMen/HellYes/tree/main for details of the fork. He has made changes to allhell3.py so you will need the whole fork, not just the extension.

I wish MalMen the best of luck with his future development. Kindly direct any questions about this fork to MalMen

(Note the original of HellYes is at https://github.com/vinefeeder/HellYes/tree/main)

Edit: I am delighted to announce 10448 downloads of hellyes6.zip, from VH, as of 23:02:2024.

So tried Stream Detector in Firefox (US VPN) and it gave me url:

The 'mpd' is for an advert.
The 'license curl' is of the url for a segment of video.

HellYes tells you what you are doing wrong. 'Requested URL is missing'.

[Barabasz]

Does it work with ism instead of mpd as well?

[inacho]

Works with vdocipher videos?

Absolutely right! But @angela gives a pretty helpful guide to selecting mpd and license curl with the Hellyes package. Just make sure you are logged in to C4 before you start. Developer tools is something you should take your time to explore and check if what you think is the license really is. Clues are it will be a 'POST' http method used. You might see 'xhr' as a type. Check what is being sent ~ 'request' and check what is coming back ~ 'Response'. Look through the plain text and see if you can see clues as to widevine and google popping up in a mass of encrypted stuff.

No one has the time to to 'teach you' aside from the help that is already provided. For you are just one, in a slow, endless trickle of folk, asking for the same help. People arrive at Videohelp Video-Streaming but don't seem to see the help already provided. Or if they do, they don't want to put in the work reading and making sense of it.

Start from the information in the stickies and in Hellyes, experiment and teach yourself. .

[sebus]

I have the selection right, thanks. That is not the issue (so many works for pretty much ... nothing)
I am not asking about some obscure service that nobody heard of.

In the very example I would appreciate if one could explain how to get this value:

FIY, I was likely doing VH before you were born.

[Tom Saurus]

Thank you for AllHellGUI and letting us know about this browser extension. I think it is wonderful to have more tools to work with. I did download the browser extension and got it set up but it looks like I have to get the original up and running as well and I am not sure I can master that. But I should give it a try at some point. I hope MalMen can get it working like Widevine Proxy 2 which thankfully I was able to get up and running.

Yes I'd seen you'd been a member for a long time. I assumed you were a knob-twiddler from another VH forum who'd decided to do some downloading. But no, it turns out you're just a knob.

Hi, I see that you are trying to use windows, I did not test it in windows yet... its probably an issue copying the curl... I will try to get a look at it

[Faris]

Hi, I see that you are trying to use windows, I did not test it in windows yet... its probably an issue copying the curl... I will try to get a look at it

Thank you for making the extension. I tried running it on Windows 11 x64, but I get "Error: No such native application org.hellyes.hellyes".

So I installed WSL, so I can run it. But after installing Firefox on WSL, and running install.sh successfully, I get the same error above. So I ran "sudo apt install chrome-gnome-shell", and the error disappeared. But when clicking download video on the extension, nothing happens, even though ffmpeg & mkvtoolnix are installed and N_m3u8DL-RE & mp4decrypt are in the binaries folder inside the cloned git.

Could you please guide us on what to do to use the extension on Windows natively or WSL?

Thanks again.

[hellraiser]

I have the same issue both with Firefox and Chrome.With Chrome I get error: "Error: Specified native messaging host not found".
With Firefox I get: "Error: No such native application org.hellyes.hellyes".
I use Windows 11 Pro x64 by the way.

[LastResort]

I was going to see if I could get this going as well, using chrome or firefox on windows 10 x64. but I see that the extension finds the manifest and license but i too get the following error... Error: No such native application org.hellyes.hellyes.

Understandably I get the fact that its a fork,.... but shouldn't there be separate instructions. The "use" of Angelas great instructions does not seem to coincide with the use of the extension (in my case, firefox).
p.s. hell3.py works fine.

[MalMen]

[QUOTE=Faris;2772700]

Could you please guide us on what to do to use the extension on Windows natively or WSL?
Thanks again.

Sorry, for the current status it will not work in windows unless you make some tweeks...

I will try to explain how the extension work... besides automatic detecting the data needed for original allhell3.py it needs to send that information to the original script, for that it uses Native Messaging Hosts.. its kind of this:
[Browser Extension] ---NativeMessagingHosts--> [native.py] ---> [allhell3.py]

The NativeMessagingHost should be saved under the browser config files, I will leave here how it looks on linux:

➜  HellYes git:(main) ✗ cat /home/malmen/.config/google-chrome/NativeMessagingHosts/org.hellyes.hellyes.json         
{
  "name": "org.hellyes.hellyes",
  "description": "Native messaging",
  "path": "/home/malmen/workspace/HellYes/native.py",
  "type": "stdio",
  "allowed_origins": [
    "chrome-extension://kenjacefekckfcdmifpemhngoifonlnc/"
  ]
}
➜  HellYes git:(main) ✗ cat /home/malmen/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/org.hellyes.hellyes.json                                                                                
{
  "name": "org.hellyes.hellyes",
  "description": "Native messaging",
  "path": "/home/malmen/workspace/HellYes/native.py",
  "type": "stdio",
  "allowed_extensions": [
    "hellyes@hellyes.org"
  ]
}

the path for native.py should be the one where you have your HellYes directory and keep in mind that on chrome allowed_origins should have the ID of your extension (you can check it after installation)

There are no reasons for this not work on windows but sadly I didnt had time to make it work yet, hopefully someone can make an installation script for it, I would fladly merge it

[hellraiser]

I have made some changes in the "org.hellyes.hellyes.json" and the error (for Chrome-webbrowser) "Error: Specified native messaging host not found" changed into "Error: Error when communicating with the native messaging host".That means in this case that Chrome can communicate with the NativeMessagingHost but for some reason can't start the native.py script (which starts afterwards the allhell3.py script).

To be continued

[MalMen]

To be added soon

I have made some changes in the "org.hellyes.hellyes.json" and the error (for Chrome-webbrowser) "Error: Specified native messaging host not found" changed into "Error: Error when communicating with the native messaging host".That means in this case that Chrome can communicate with the NativeMessagingHost but for some reason can't start the native.py script (which starts afterwards the allhell3.py script).

To be continued

Thanks for your testing!
I did spend few hours last night trying to make it work on windows and discover it wont work the same way as on linux..
First things first:

Error: Specified native messaging host not found"

This means that the org.hellyes.hellyes.json is not being found yet, I discover that the native message must be register on windows registry
I did try mainly on firefox but from my search is the same on firefox

But that is not the main issue, I discover that windows cant open a new windows terminal like I did on Linux, so even being sucessful launching the allhell3.py then we dont have a way to see what is hapening (and select the video/audio quality)..

This is not the end of the road, there are 2 possible solutions
1. Develop an allhell3.py GUI that will wait for messages from browser and process them when they arrive
2. Further develop native.py api comunication and browser extension to manage the downloads on the extension

Option 2 would be my preferable... unfortunetely I dont have the time for that now, so if you really want to use this extension you will need to switch to linux or have an virtual machine with it ( I recomend Kubuntu since it was what I used while develloping), meanwhile if someone want to do this further work on the extension feel free to open issues/prs on my github repo, I will check it more ofthen then here and will glady help if I can

Update today with a reset function to easily clear old fields ready for re-use.

Plus a new downloader is added; dash-mpd-cli. Dash-mpd-cli downloads subtitle files separately without muxing into the video - some folks like it that way.

New version is at https://github.com/vinefeeder/HellYes
