Help downloading video from CBC Gem

[JohnReese]

Hi!

I used to download videos from CBC by looking for the master.m3u8 file, but I think the site has changed and now I can't find a way to do it.

I'd like to grab video+sub for the show Plan B season 2 episode 1 https://gem.cbc.ca/plan-b?autoplay=1

Appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to get this video with yt-dlp, but I can't figure it out.

I found the mpd link and tried a few things.

First I tried the obvious:

yt-dlp https://cbcrcott-aws-toutv.akamaized.net/out/v1/2a104a4e93ad44308db6eaa324309cb5/97c7a...s=true&lang=fr

But no success. I get this error: " Unable to download webpage: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request (caused by <HTTPError 400: Bad Request>)"

Then I tried adding the -N8 parameter that you used in your code. No success.

Then I tried replacing index-multi-drm.mpd with index-aes.m3u8. Still no success.

Is it related to the fact that is DRM protected? If so, is there any way to bypass this obstacle (like with a keyid).

Or what am I missing?

Thanks!
