Help with N_N_m3u8DL-RE and Widevine

[skibbidydoo]

For almost two weeks, I have trying to download from PTVflix.org using N_m3u8DL-RE. I have tried everything but I couldn't manage to get it to work. But that's only the first part of the problem. The second part is that even if it did, I would still have to get another program running to generate decryption keys since the content on the site is DRM protected.

I also tried hiring a python developer to help me download the videos from ptvflix but that too ended badly and couldn't yield the desired results.

I was wondering if someone here would be open to helping me download videos from the website.

This would be a life saver, really.

[skibbidydoo]

Gosh I'm so frustrated at this point that I even messed up the program name.

[Secranes]

Which video do you want to download from PTVFLIX?

Which video do you want to download from PTVFLIX?

Hey brother!
The problem is that I need to download like 100 videos over the next 4 weeks. Like 10-15 videos a week.
If it were a single one, there are a lot of very kind and generous people in here who are happy to just go ahead and download it for you and send it over.

[Secranes]

If you could give me a list of all the videos you want I could pass them on to you. And I would also like to know why N_m3u8DL-RE doesn't work for you, so I could give you the necessary commands to download them yourself...

1. I'm stuck in a vicious cycle. First of all, I get a disk/directory permission denial error even though I am logged into my administrator account and I do in fact have the read & write access to all the directories I have tried to access (terminal also has full-disk access). If I am able to get past that, and the program is installed, then it says command not found. It took me like 24 hours and over 100 attempts with the help of forum members and chatgpt to get that resolved and the next one was binary issue even though I have tried both 0sx_x64 and Osx_arm64 but neither worked.

2. That would be a huuuuge favour, brother. It'll take me a few hours to extract all the m3u8 urls. Fine if I send them over tomorrow?

Below are the ones I need to download this week. They are from https://ptvflix.org/category/45

I'm sorry mate, but this content is marked as paid content and that's against the forum rules. I can only give you the first chapter...

Regards.

[skibbidydoo]

It's not paid. They just have the subscription turned on for people outside Pakistan as a precaution or something.
If you open it with a Pakistani proxy, you'll see it's entirely free.
Or you can use my account if that helps

[Secranes]

I have tried many ways and I cannot access the content. I don't have paid proxies, maybe that's the reason?

Not really sure.
You can try accessing with my account.
That should work.

[Secranes]

I tried that account you provided to see if it is tied to a region, but it doesn't work either. I have also tried logging in with the VPN enabled in Pakistan and it shows up without the lock, but when it comes time to play it doesn't work either. It's very strange what's going on with that site :/...

[skibbidydoo]

Another user https://forum.videohelp.com/members/308780-2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi experienced the same issue but he found a proxy that worked prerfectly fine with the website. I have sent them a message. Let's see if we can get the proxy

[aqzs]

There isn't free content on that website ?

Yes and for information, your Noob Starter Pack do the job for this site

Indeed, with a good proxy or with a good vpn, the video requested are free.

For example, free Pakistan vpn are available on this site
