Can't find mpd or m3u8 on Vix Free (USA)

[JAMF3R]

Hello everyone, recently there was a change on this streaming site, I used to download without issues, now I can still get the keys but I can no longer capture the MPD or m3u8 using The Stream Detector or the developer tool. The MPD that The Stream Detector captures is very long and gives an error with N_m3u8dl-re. Thanks for any help.

No need account.

There are no keys for this video. Yeah, something seems changed. You can copy the response from the MPD, paste and save it with Notepad, and use N_m3u8dl-re to download from that local MPD.

[JAMF3R]

Ohh, thank you!! I haven’t had any issues getting the keys for this site, only with the MPD. I’m a novice, I barely understand this world, which is why I didn’t know how to solve this issue. Thank you very much for the help!!

Trying to get these episodes. Using firefox and when I search mpd in network it gives me error 400 bad request. The string is too long for streamdetector.

The string is not too long....Just copy and paste the command in cmd.

Used both Chrome and Firefox. Default settings for Streamdetector. I get this when I paste the mpd from stream detector. Get a warning saying the it is over 5KB when I paste.

Hahaha, unfortunately, I also encountered this problem. The mpd is too long. Because I am a complete novice, I don’t know which part to select as the URL.
I really want to download this drama, but I don’t know how to operate it at all, and I haven’t found any software that can download videos from this website. This makes me very uncomfortable. I have been researching for a week and still haven’t solved the problem. If anyone I would be very grateful if someone could help me download this drama. There are ten episodes in total.

Only the first episode is free. The others are paid and it's against the forum rules.

Heya! I have a little issue if anyone could help me ahah. I'm new to the forum and don't know much about coding but I feel like I can manage with proper guidance. I downloaded a video from ViX today (https://vix.com/es-es/video/video-4234261) using N_m3u8DL-RE and ffmpeg. The episode was downloaded successfully and I got a manifest.mp4 and manifest.es.m4a
[Attachment 85185 - Click to enlarge] I also got an _init.mp4 and a bunch of m4s files in my manifest folder.
[Attachment 85186 - Click to enlarge] So far, basically, the video I downloaded from ViX is unusable. Any idea how to fix this 😅 My guess is I need to merge the mp4 and m4a somehow but I literally have no idea how to do this. I've checked the forum but I mostly see outdated methods from years. Hence a more recent method would really be appreciated. Thank you soo much in advance if anyone can send help haha. Cheers!

Please tell me how to find the correct mpd download address. After the vix.com upgrade, I cannot find the correct mpd. I hope you can make a graphic tutorial to get the mpd download address, thank you very much

Hi there! For context, I'm using the OPERA GX browser but I think you can also get it from Google Chrome. Basically I used an extension named "The Stream Detector" (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/the-stream-detector/iakkmkmhhckcmoiibcfjnooibphlobak?hl=en) and when I play the episode, it just automatically detects the stream, all you have to do is click on the extension, you'll see a manifest.mpd, then just select the format you want the link (i.e I chose my link to be in N_m3u8dl-re format, you can choose the format on the upper right corner of the extension window. I copied the mpd URL and used N_m3u8dl-re and ffmpeg to download. But the issue for me lies where I successfully downloaded the mp4 and m4a of the video but I'm unable to play either of the files or even try to merge. I'm trying to find a more updated method haha. If you can help me out also, that'd be grand. Thanks

Thanks for the tutorial. You need L3 to decrypt the video and audio tracks, which cannot be played without decryption. You can search the forum and there are related tutorials
