is that possible to get h264 mpd instead of vp9 from this site ?

[monk87]

Hello.

https://www.nowehoryzonty.pl/vod-film.s?id=14019&vb=kdv#play

here's a site with some free videos but all i get in requests is a vp9 mpd.

is there any trick to get h264 mpd from this site ?

videos are free, you only need to login (polish ip might be needed)

which browser did you use to find this url ?

looks like it's not only the filename is different but also host

vp9 are hosted here

and h264 here

I didn't really find the URL. Mostly guessed it.

For Firefox I got this playing mpd

https://1104682167.rsc.cdn77.org/r/kdvod/2024/SNEAKPEAK_FESTIWALOWY__CZESC_LATO/04_09_24_1648_m4a/vp9.mpd?secure=<value>==,<value>

Tried changing vp9.mpd to h264.mpd and it didn't work (most likely you need other query parameters). Then I changed my user agent to random values until I got Mac OS X / Safari 17 and I got a mpd URL without parameters. The mpd was only for the short ad/intro and it didn't even play.

https://1827693967.rsc.cdn77.org/r/kdvod/2021/NH_VOD_3.0.2/30_11_23_1739_56s/vp9.mpd

However by changing vp9 to h264 it still downloaded since you didn't need any parameters.

So I combined those 2

Maybe the base 1827693967 can be applied to all vods to get the h264 and 1104682167 for all vp9 vods, regardless of URL. So all you have to do is some basic URL editing by already knowing these 2 fixed values.

It is a kinda convoluted solution. Maybe someone else knows an easier solution.

No mater what, it still is a working solution

Looks like firefox launched without widevine support.
Tried to make it work with no luck.
Any ides ?

playwright.firefox.launch_persistent_context(
    user_data_dir="profile",
    headless=True
)

with the folder inside this zip file in the same directory as your script

this works and what i came up with was to intercept requests, grab the license request and try to export it in order to use it with some other tool.
is that possible ?
I didn't find any method allowing to use 'copy as curl/copy as fetch' in playwright

[larley]

You don't have to. Copy as fetch is just handy because all of the required headers/cookies/payload data is in one place (the clipboard).
We don't need this here because we already have a request object:
You can take a look at the page request listener https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-event-request, which gives examples on how to use page events

[monk87]

Ok i managed to make it work automatically

my approach is tricky but i'm more js than python so that's how it is

const { firefox } = require('playwright');
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
const outputDir = path.join(__dirname, 'HellYesGui');
const { spawn } = require('child_process');
function runPythonScript(scriptPath) {
    const scriptDir = path.dirname(scriptPath); // Get the directory of the script
    const scriptName = path.basename(scriptPath); // Get the script file name

    // Spawn a new process
    const pythonProcess = spawn('python', [scriptName], { cwd: scriptDir });

    // Handle output from the script
    pythonProcess.stdout.on('data', (data) => {
        console.log(`Script output: ${data}`);
    });

    // Handle errors from the script
    pythonProcess.stderr.on('data', (data) => {
        console.error(`Script error output: ${data}`);
    });

    // Handle script exit
    pythonProcess.on('close', (code) => {
        console.log(`Script finished with exit code ${code}`);
    });
}
// Helper function to construct the curl command
function requestToCurl(request) {
    const method = request.method();
    const url = request.url();
    const headers = request.headers();
    const postData = request.postData();

    // Initialize curl command
    let curlCommand = `curl '${url}'`;

    // Add headers to curl command with line breaks
    for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(headers)) {
        if (key.toLowerCase() === 'content-length') {
            continue; // Skip this iteration
        }		
        curlCommand += ` \\\n  -H '${key}: ${value}'`;
    }

    return curlCommand;
}

// Function to load cookies from a JSON file
async function loadCookiesFromFile(context, filePath) {
    if (fs.existsSync(filePath)) {
        const cookies = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(filePath, 'utf-8'));
        await context.addCookies(cookies);
        console.log('Cookies loaded from:', filePath);
    } else {

    }
}

    });

    // Load cookies from the file
    await loadCookiesFromFile(context, cookiesFile);

    // Open a new page or get the first one if it already exists
    const page = context.pages[0] || await context.newPage();

    // Intercept requests and look for specific POST and .mpd requests
    await context.route('**/*', async (route, request) => {
        const url = request.url();

    await context.close();
	runPythonScript('HellYesGui/allhell3.py');

})().catch(err => {
    console.error('Error:', err);
});

this script generates txt file from license request, mpd and title to be later passed to allhell3.py

+ i modified allhell3.py to load data from those files and use '-sa best -sv best' to remove all the user needed input

but well

apparently the command generated fails...
