[Lupine Assassin]

It's only up for 24 hours https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0026p3j/breakfast-10012025 Please grab this in the best quality while stripping away any DRM. I'll be using N_m3u8DL-RE for this. Thank you.

BBC is free drm....
you will need vpn to download video

[Lupine Assassin]

Okay, thanks.

Thank you. Can that code go in N_m3u8DL-RE, or should it be typed in differently?

Yes it can, any way you'd like using imaghosts url, example:

Would seem you're not connected to the UK by a VPN. Can you confirm you are connected?

[Lupine Assassin]

I can confirm this, and I still get the errors. I know the file's over 8 gigs, but worst case scenario please upload it to swisstransfer or some other platform. I want to get this before they remove it from the BBC.

Can you play the video in browser with VPN connected?

File is pretty large for me, not sure ill get to it. We will see. No promises.

I am also in the US, and I can confirm it will work. May depend on your VPN, but if you can play in browser it should dl.

[Lupine Assassin]

I'm able to play it with a specific VPN, but I'm having difficulty determining which addon to install to grab the file. Video DownloadHelper fails to grab the file at at all.

[DB83]

I have downloaded said program but at 7.5 gb there is no way I will upload it.

I have two suggestions:-


1. You try the program I used to download (btw the highest available was 720p) - yt-dlp-gui


2. I am sure you do not want the whole 3+ hours of this magazine type program. If you fail to download it, point me to the sequence you want, which could be no more that 5 mins which is typical, and I will make that available tomorrow.

Thank you so much! I was struggling for hours to get this file. Most appreciated!

Welcome, but if you have downloaded files with N_m3u8DL-RE before like I saw in previous posts, this one also should have worked for you. I'd practice more if that is the case.

[DB83]

Well it would have been good manners to, at the very least, thank me for my (unwanted) assistance - and I could never contemplate an upload of 7 gb due to slow upload connection.

I will now delete my download. And I respectfully suggest you actually learn how to do this yourself should the need arise in the future since I will not even contemplate helping again. And your 'friend' may not be around next time.
