How to download from zee5.com from Bangladesh(Access Denied)

[safwan]

Hello Guys,

I am trying to download a cartoon show from zee5.com from this url https://www.zee5.com/global/kids/kids-shows/bantul-the-great/0-6-231/bantul-the-great-...sode/0-1-74065. However if I try to access zee5 from Bangladesh, I get

Access Denied
You don't have permission to access "http://www.zee5.com/global/kids/kids-shows/bantul-the-great/0-6-231/bantul-the-great-episode-185-february-1-2015-full-episode/0-1-74065" on this server.
Reference #18.d4a4d417.1732426509.b6f6b110

https://errors.edgesuite.net/18.d4a4d417.1732426509.b6f6b110

.

The site seems to work fine through vpn. Now how do I download this video?
Note: This cartoon called Batul the Great is my favourate childhood show andso it's very nostalgic. So I'm trying to archive the available episodes. This is just an example episode link. I am planning to download the whole series.

So, Any help is really appreciated. Hope you guys have a nice day.
Thanks in advance.

Try IDM

Try IDM

Does not work because zee5 is not accessable from Bangladesh. But other countries can access it. So is there any way to change http header to get .m3u8 or .mpd stream url? Or it's not possible?

I was able to download it using IDM. You can use a free VPN so it will not detect that you are from Bangladesh.
Proton VPN has free servers from few countries.

That is an option. But i am trying to automate downloading a few episodes. So that's out of the book. Otherwise i could just use yt-dlp.

The main problem is i want to automate the process. I could use yt-dlp if the site was not blocked in bangladesh or i could use playwright. but these are not practical in bangladesh. And through vpn the site is too too slow for any content to download. So i hope you understand the problem. Thanks.

I'll fix the service in a next release. For now stick to simple downloading. Use stream detector, get the m3u8/mpd URL and use it with yt-dlp/N_m3u8DL-RE. Most sites enforce VPN only for accessing, not downloading.
