    I have the following problem:

    I can get the keys from WidevoneProxy2, i can download the MPD-URL and the MPD-file via browser.

    But when I try to download the video and audo files with N_M3U8DL-RE or YT-DLP I get a 403 error when trying to downloading the MPD-file for parsing.

    Several - the problem ist not platform specific.

    E.g. TV Vlaanderen, Skylink...

    It''s how to deal with Widevine VMP protection which prevents MPD-file download / parsing with any other software than a browser.

    I got it:

    URL from The Stream Detector

    Download with YT-DLP with --cookies-from-browser firefox option

  6. VMP has nothing to do with your manifest

    N_M3u8DL-RE link from WideviveProxy2 to MPD gives 403 error. I have to use another one from The Stream Detector with different token.

  9. You need a key to decrypt the files. I suggest you try the browser extension WidevineProxy2 to get the keys for the video.
