Issues with Mediaset infinity resolutions

[alba77]

Hello all.
Some months ago, I learned, thanks to your precious help, how to download and decrypt Mediaset Infinity video by myself.

I already searched into the forum but didn't find an answer to my issue.

Now I've having had, for maybe 2 months, an issue with the resolutions that are apparently decreased by Mediaset. I tell apparently because I found in a famous software for exchange of video and other files the same episode of my video example with the resolution of 1080 and not 720 as happens to me. So it means that someone is able to download at the full resolution. I suppose in Mediaset changed some parameters.

My video example is this:

https://mediasetinfinity.mediaset.it/video/ifratellicorsaro/prima-puntata_F313135901000101 
with key to decrypt 92d38b3f08dbd99c46ffd9a5eace6225:34edb8e20f1c7d7ea304aa8582bc4b72

• if I use this command, I receive a 720px height video and not 1080

yt-dlp --allow-u https://vod06.msf.cdn.mediaset.net/farmunica/2024/09/1948849_191e06c35c1645/dashrcenc/hr_wv_mpl.mpd

I see the mpd is not hd_hr_wv_mpl.mpd and traying with the hd_ before it, it doesn't open as it doesn't exist.
• If I use this command:

yt-dlp --allow-u --cookies-from-browser chrome --list-formats https://mediasetinfinity.mediaset.it/video/ifratellicorsaro/prima-puntata_F313135901000101

I receive lowest resolution than previous point as the attached screenshot

And if I download with the command:

yt-dlp --allow-u --cookies-from-browser chrome -f dash-1_3-0 https://mediasetinfinity.mediaset.it/video/ifratellicorsaro/prima-puntata_F313135901000101

I receive a file with height of 576px but the same size and bitrate as the file with height of 720px of the previous point


So my question is how can I get the maximum resolution and bitrate like I was able to do before?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT:
I attach as well the screens from Mediainfo of the 2 files

I see the mpd is not hd_hr_wv_mpl.mpd and traying with the hd_ before it, it doesn't open as it doesn't exist.

In the manifest url (try, it may fail) replace 'hr' by 'hd'.
The new manifest become the one pepe send :

Thank you very much for the replays

Thank you very much of making me notice to replace hr with hd instead of adding had at the beginning.

Thanks a lot for this “new” for me command. I suppose it works with the newest versions of N_m3u8DL-RE. I tried also in a folder wit al older version and it doesn’t work but with the new one it does. It’s al wee very fast to download at the maximum speed (for me 100mps because I have the fiber 10000) and not like before at 1 mbps
All is well until it downloads both audio and video files.
Strangely it doesn’t decrypt correctly the video and the audio not at all.


[Attachment 82364 - Click to enlarge]

It’s not an error of the key because after I tested to decrypt with like the example of the command with the exact values

mp4decrypt --key 000000 video.mp4 video_dec.mp4

and it worked with the same key


[Attachment 82366 - Click to enlarge]


[Attachment 82365 - Click to enlarge]

And after I use to merge to one file with the command, I’ve been using used or if more audio files with Mkv Tool Nix

mp4decrypt --key 000000 video.mp4 video_dec.mp4

ffmpeg -i video_dec.mp4 -i audio_dec.m4a -c copy final_video.mp4

The situation is the same with other videos I tested. Maybe the command

N_m3u8DL-RE "link_MPD" --key 000000 -M format=mkv

is incomplete in some parts
I also tried

N_m3u8DL-RE "link_MPD" --key 000000 -M format=mm4

and it’s the same

However, I appreciate a lot the possibility to launch only one command and to have the video out. Can you please help me with the decryption issue? Maybe I have to use another version of N_m3u8DL-RE
If I launch the N_m3u8DL-RE –version I receive 0.2.1+e9b6c9f3c31d648cb259c700e5c519102a5bb9cc instead the name of the .zip I downloaded is this "N_m3u8DL-RE_Beta_win-x64_20240828"

Thanks again for the precious help you give me.

Strangely it doesn’t decrypt correctly the video and the audio not at all.

For me N_m3u8DL-RE works in windows 11. Make sure you download and put in same folder the following:
- N_m3u8DL-RE
- ffmpeg
- mp4decrypt

Then you run the N_m3u8DL-RE command in that folder. I have no idea what version they're at, just use the latest. If you can't figure it out, I think it's easier if you stick to yt-dlp/mp4decrypt. You can always convert N_m3u8DL-RE commands to yt-dlp

[alba77]

Very strange
I use windows 11 too.
The versions I use were downloaded on Sep 18

The only one I don’t know which one to use is FFMPEG.
There are 4 different downloads.
I attach a screen here. Please indicate me which one to download.

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

I picked the first one that worked for me and didn't bother with others. btbn
https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/releases

Try gpl.zip

Nothing to do:
I used the version you suggested me. After I use the prompt of commands and not Terminal
It doesn't decrypt

The link of the test file, the mpd, the key and command are

Could be there some little mistake in the command?

PS1: In the directory I have these executable files.


[Attachment 82374 - Click to enlarge]

PS2: To generate the key I use the <cencssh> string from the mpd file - for the file posted here my one is

AAAAU3Bzc2gAAAAA7e+LqXnWSs6jyCfc1R0h7QAAADMIARIQ6LluHW+0JLRbHm/TZZkIjhoNYW1hem9udHZjcmltZSIIdGFtX3Rlc3QqAlNEMgA=

and in the console I search the getRawWidevine string and copy the url - my one is

https://widevine.entitlement.theplatform.eu/wv/web/ModularDrm/getRawWidevineLicense?releasePid=f6DeHPhBpr25&account=http%3A%2F%2Faccess.auth.theplatform.com%2Fdata%2FAccount%2F2702976343&schema=1.0&token=eyJhbGciOiJSUzUxMiJ9.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.oUTINOhHmma8AMB8hlnfIPSZhxXt2d7AOdDHq3-QUMYaXBVnaICXzjpF8fbZzNvwZsaIOyKJXB8G5ugN70jj1iRJBeu990mhIRic6F4GLjsVehSUpGrw3DhDikYv3InZ78jC3eEWS5i-b5IYOanr_F6jI5t7lqUV2HSX01xN_odCtpr4Afc_2fqPhxuUi4nPhLvlvcPbDCuxDbiHd0eiI0twH1csoSlh6cFUnGg1k_BUFUl4G2G8p2lC34RZ-1YcBb1iFxchxiSLrcscZJChY3yj7CsvBzZsyzELgERybLwhGbKvXCKrdTQlbrPvAbHKa45A5eyVgJO7J0uxt9FAIA

After I go to keysdb dot net and I generate the key.
Should I have to adopt another method do obtain the key for the command you suggested me?

You could try shaka packagers instead of mp4decrypt. Download from here
https://github.com/shaka-project/shaka-packager/releases

packager-win-x64.exe and rename to shaka-packager.exe and put in same folder as others

Then add parameter to your command

--use-shaka-packager

Yeahhh, thanks a lot.
In this way it works.
I tried to put --use-mp4decrypt but it doesn't work.
So do you have an idea of what happened to make it work with shaka-packager and not with mp4decrypt?

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

No need for --use-mp4decrypt since that's used by default. There are some rare/random videos where shaka works and mp4decrypt doesn't. It should have worked for your video however. Here's a command from a random site

N_m3u8DL-RE.exe https://vcze131.cda.pl/1670449/1670449.mpd --key 65353534306438366535346135346161:39303439626631336363393537303934 -M format=mkv

Check how it behaves with/without shaka. I have no idea why mp4decrypt didn't work for you. I guess you could check if you have an older mp4decrypt in your sistem env vars. Go to a random unrelated folder and type mp4decrypt in terminal. It should say command not recognized. If it recognizes it, then delete everything related to mp4decrypt from system env vars and try again. That way you make sure you use the latest exe you got.

Very strange. It decrypted proprly the 1st 5 second and after it's like the not decrypted screens I posted before.
Vith shaka is fully OK
the hash of my mp4decrypt is:
CRC32: F5D9175D
MD5: C2724F647631C5056D28703EE1E09A9E
SHA-1: FE3F9405CD6E97DDD658552EF5A2CF7D1F1063CA

could be a wrong version?

That's what I use too and works. Alright, I'm afraid this will be the end of my assistance since I have never encountered your issue. Maybe someone else knows what the problem is and will help you. Or you could simply stick to what works for you.

[alba77]

OK. Thanks for everything and especially for your precious time.
I'll go to use the shaka option. Important is that it works.
May you have a nice evening.
