Looking for help downloading RTL Plus/ RTL+ Videos

[aronrothschild]

Hello everyone
My name is Aron and I am a complete newbie considering download videos. I tried to use StreamFab but it did not work for me although I have a RTL premium account to watch the videos. I read previous threads about downloading videos from RTL plus but I was not able to understand even the lingo let alone the process so this is why I am respectfully and desperately asking for help.
Is it possible for an expert to download the videos for me and send me an easy to use link like gofile or any other host? I would surely be thankful and would like to compensate that effort. Thank you very much.

Try this:

https://github.com/DevLARLEY/WidevineProxy2

This will give you the Key for Decryption and the Manifest URL for Downloading.

If you have Trouble with this, I can certainly help you.

That's an awesome plugin! Works like a charm. It would be great if it would allow to also select the resolution and audio track in the all-in-one command generation and/or allow for batch generation of multiple streams

You can select Video-Resolution and Audio-Track with N_m3u8dl-RE

Just use the MPD-URL and the Decryption Keys for this, not the Command from the Extension.

Is there a way to download free content with a free account in HD?

Jep, there are several:

- Widefrog has support for plus.rtl.de (https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/414548-drm-free-content-batch-downloader-widefrog)
- The browser extension WidevineProxy2 (https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/416316-%5BRelease%5D-WidevineProxy2-Extension-Bypa...s-Lic-wrapping) works great
- You could use AllHellGui (https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/415503-%5Brelease%5D-AllHellGui) or WidevineFetch (https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/415485-%5BRelease%5D-WidevineFetch-Keys-from-just-...y-Lic-Wrapping), but both involve more manual work

You'll need a working CDM for all of the solutions (e.g. from here: https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/413719-Ready-to-use-CDMs-available-here%21, or here: https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/408031-Dumping-Your-own-L3-CDM-with-Android-Studio).

I know, I use Widedevine. It works for me. I tried to download with a free acount in HD quality, but I only got SD.

Substitute -3-2 with -1-1 in the mpd url for HD content (I didn't notice the "HD" in your post, sorry )

[banaguitar]

Thank you!!

Not possible without Premium Account.

No problem, but there is also free content

Can someone help me to fix this error?

unable to parse license - check protobufs
b'{"error":"General Error","errorCode":10000,"origin":"widevine"}'
Disable your VPN and make sure you have a german IP address

[Obo]

What about doing what the error message says? Disable your VPN and make sure you have a german IP address?

If however you have a german IP address, you'd need to describe in much more detail what you are doing/using/trying, in order for anyone to be able to help you...

I have been getting the same Error since yesterday when I try to generate the Keys.

I never had any Problems before.

Still working here.

Works fine here as well, maybe your cdm is banned?

I have now tried it with several CDMs and each time the same Error occurred.

[2nHxWW6GkN1l916N3ayz8HQoi]

Hmm. Could you share a random accessible video URL where you encounter this issue?

[ginko]

which browser extension / tool used getting the error message?

[MartinTH]

I have now been able to solve the Problem myself.

Now everything works again without any Problems.
