Downloading from streamingcommunity

[misiek1963]

Good evening, my friends. A few days ago I downloaded from the site https://streamingcommunity.prof/ without problems using yt-dlp (videos aren't encrypted and the site requires only a free registration and, possibly an italian VPN). To make an example I downloaded the following video https://streamingcommunity.prof/watch/3330, whose playlist is https://vixcloud.co/playlist/217327. I've tried to download today and I keepgetting a "Forbidden 403" error all the time. I'm not allowed to download the playlist file, too. Weird behavior, isn't it? What do you think about that? Thank you very, very much, in advance, for all advices and kind help. Goodnight

As yt-dlp worked, so it works

[lomero]

the site is encrypted, yes with aes-128, but found right link you can download with yt-dlp (or RE too)
and read also this thread https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/415994-need-help-with-py-script

[misiek1963]

Thank you so much, lomero, for all kind help. Scripts shown in the thread work, and it's possible to download videos up to 1080p. The really incredible thing is that with yt-dlp I was able to download (up to 720p, anyway) till a few days ago. They should have implemented aes-128 recently. Thank you so much, again, for your precious advice. Have a nice evening

Making some research, I've found this yt-dlp plugin https://github.com/Blu-Tiger/StreamingCommunity-yt-dlp-plugin. I have installed it, but I get the same Error 403. May you please, lomero, try it and see if in your installation it works? Sorry to be boring . Thank you very much, in advance

[lomero]

don't tested this plug-in (but nice to know this new tool) but why you want use yt-dlp?
i can use RE with http link only or -sv res="1080*" / -sv res="720*" if you want start direct download

this extension for Chrome works for this site and you can choose the resolution before downloading your video

But as Lomero says , It's better to use N_m3u8DL-RE and moreover It's more faster.

[misiek1963]

Thank you very much, lomero and cedric8528, for advice and kind help. In fact, with cedric8528's Script in https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/415994-need-help-with-py-script/page2, I could download this complete series https://streamingcommunity.prof/titles/3330-romulus with one command. Great stuff, indeed! Anyway with these ones https://streamingcommunity.prof/titles/3330-romulus/stagione-2 and https://streamingcommunity.prof/titles/6116-kindred for example, I get the Forbidden 403 error with the script, and using directly N_m3u8DL-RE with vixcloud link, too. Do you experience the same? Thank you very much, again, in advance for all help. Have a great evening

[lomero]

streamingcommunity no need any header, only vixcloud link. if you can't find the right link, use stream detector extension to find it

this code is for kindred-S1-EP1

RE -M mp4 "https://vixcloud.co/playlist/149347?token=44500bb62aba11453e119b4bf04357fb&expires=1741766902&h=1" --save-name kindred-S1-EP1 --no-log

[misiek1963]

Thank you very much, lomero, for answer, anyway my problem is not finding the link, it is the error Forbidden 403, that I get when I operate N_m3u8DL-RE. With the link you kindly gave me after launching N_m3u8DL-RE I get the following: One or more errors occurred. (Response status code does not indicate success: 403 (Forbidden).) Any help?

[cedric8528]

you must take a fresh link

Install Stream Detector Addon

[ddll2]

This is an ordinary advertisement for the site

[lomero]

try again. link expired on march 12, 2025 (from expires=1741766902)

edit: i've tried my command from post#9 and for me too i've get error 403 (forbidden). but checked token expiration (2 months) i've run again same command and finally after 3 shot work fine. i think is due to vixcloud issue. tested just now again same command and it work fine

[misiek1963]

Thank you so much, to all, for precious help. In fact it seems that we have to struggle with fresh tokens all the time. Anyway, after a few tries, I've been able to download the whole series in https://streamingcommunity.prof/titles/3330-romulus/stagione-2 with cedric8528's unbeatable script. Thank you very much, again, for explanations and patience

[cedric8528]

The script works sometimes....

[misiek1963]

The script works sometimes....

Now I'm fighting with https://streamingcommunity.ooo/titles/6116-kindred; I'm getting Forbidden 403, but I'm sure that soon or late, I'll success. Weird that the site behaves so erratically.

[misiek1963]

Another really weird thing: for the following https://streamingcommunity.ooo/titles/6116-kindred I've been able to download the whole series, at last, but only video stream and subtitles. N_m3u8DL-RE doesn't show any video track. I downloaded playlist and inspected with notepad, and audio stream isn't shown. Anyway, if you watch the show online, audio (in Italian) is present. Weird, really... What do you think about this? Goodnight

[lomero]

if you look my shot on post#19 you can see on track avc1 for each resolution. and subs below
some video avc1 have embed video+audio (audio is m4a). so you can see only 3 resolution available, with audio embed

Thank you very much, lomero, for answer, I was expecting the embedding of audio, too, but when I play downloaded videos with embedded audio (with VLC for example), there is no sound

[lomero]

not possible, something is wrong by your side.
from my shot aove (kindred ep1) you can clearly see the audio embedded in the video, as are many others videos from your site.

if you still don't hear the audio, share a link for the test here

I could see in my N_m3u8DL-RE screen, too, indeed, but in the video there's no sound. The link to kindred ep.1 is https://vixcloud.co/playlist/149347?token=a9e31cced49643a48a1cc0bfafd50ab6&expires=1741876426&h=1. Would you like I up somewhere the video file I've downloaded? Thanks, again, for your kind help

[lomero]

no need your link. for ep1 jus use my code on post#9
and confirmed, is video+audio (i've download 480p just for test, but all res have video+audio)
open VLC - tool - Media information

Thank you so much for all explanations, lomero, I'm doing this. Till now I get the "usual" Forbidden 403, as I succeed I'm getting back to you
