Help downloading video from mediaset Spain

[d4vidm]

Hello everybody.

I'm new here, and I'm struggling downloading a tv program.
Please can you help me?

Main program page is:

https://www.mitele.es/programas-tv/quien-quiere-casarse-con-mi-hijo/

I'd like to download episode 2 (T6xPrograma 2), but I can't get the direct link to it.

Thanks

Filter for picky.m3u8

yt-dlp "https://vbdk.mediaset.es/orivod/vod/bitmovin/95/28/95280f33-f7fa-43b1-a89f-ef03b1cfc6dc/main.ism/picky.m3u8?hdnts=..." --add-header "Referer: https://www.mitele.es/"

You gotta get a fresh URL since it can expire

Edit: or if you're from spain try

yt-dlp "https://www.mitele.es/programas-tv/quien-quiere-casarse-con-mi-hijo/temporada-6/programa-47-40_013388005/player/" --add-header "Referer: https://www.mitele.es/"

Thank you very much!! I did it with your first option.
I was trying without "--add-header Referer.." and it gave me 403.
Just to note, I used also --fixup never. If I not use this, the video flickers a bit.

It's very expensive, I only want to download very few videos and I also want to learn the basics.
Anyway, thanks for the tip

I actually noticed this issue but I just thought it was a source problem. Good to know about that option --fixup. Thanks for the information.

Out of curiosity, does the same happen with N_m3u8DL-RE or other downloaders for that m3u8?

You can try using StreamFab

There's no need for streamfab on a m3u8 that doesn't even use DRM. Waste of money.

Just to clarify, it is "--fixup never". If you don't use this, it tries to fix (don't know what) at the end of download and then I guess that flicker comes.

And about other downloaders, I'm very newbie here and I'm trying to learn

With N_m3u8DL-RE I got:

Response status code does not indicate success: 403 (Forbidden expiration)

Anyway, somebody has passed me videos of this same site using StreamFab and they have the same flicker (I also thought it was a source problem)

try

N_m3u8DL-RE "https://vbdk.mediaset.es/orivod/vod/bitmovin/95/28/95280f33-f7fa-43b1-a89f-ef03b1cfc6dc/main.ism/picky.m3u8?hdnts=..." --header "Referer: https://www.mitele.es/"

If you want a lazy solution where you won't even care about the right headers, use the stream detector addon, enable it, wait for it to detect picky m3u8 then copy it as a N_m3u8DL-RE/yt-dlp command. You'll have all the right headers/parameters automatically selected

[d4vidm]

Thanks for the info about Stream detector.

And yes, I can confirm same flickering using N_m3u8DL-RE. Just can't figure a command in N_m3u8DL-RE similar to fixup in yt-dlp

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

No need. Stick with what works. N_m3u8DL-RE is good only for DRM anyway

[d4vidm]

This do the trick in N_m3u8DL-RE-M:

-M format=mkv:muxer=mkvmerge

I try to put "N_m3u8DL-RE" https://vbdk.mediaset.es/orivod/vod/bitmovin/07/db/07dbbfe9-907e-4c77-bc4f-797e3777775....m3u8?hdnts=st =1726689817~exp=1726704216~acl=/*~hmac=e7ab0a6bb73494ef513f0146a27d3d0a094bbdc14ed 4d847201e417554da4cd4" --add-header

But it doesn't download, or it leaves .ts files unjoined and so on.

What a fuss Mediaset has made now.

Thank you.
What if I want the union to have a complete video in .mp4 format?

Or if you have existing mkv files, you can always use Avidemux to remux them. It's just a container, no reencoding needed.
