wrong key? plus.rtl.de "encv" Video decoder

[pro3154]

Hi!

Would you please check this key? I really need to know if it is the right one.
Key:
...3d12a6fbfe7c852c9a9bb603fd5c7b5c:a5dc9ef5c14db6 4dad5b8fe22c439365
URL:
... https://plus.rtl.de/video-tv/shows/jamie-oliver-guenstig-geniessen-982566/staffel-1-98...lognese-997536

I have the same problem the whole time with this video.
N_m3u8DL-RE (the last Beta) downloads the video. At the end you see "Done" as always. Everything seems to be ok. But you just can't play the video, you can see only the subtitles, while you are playing the file, you don't see the video and hear the audio.

The warning of a video player is like that:
"A problem has occurred while starting playing.
Failed to start playback.
"encv" Video decoder is required to play the file. Clicking "Find Codec" button may help you to install the necessary codec."

I looks like if it is just not really decrypted that's why the question about the key.

I used this command for the video I mentioned before:

N_m3u8DL-RE_Beta "https://vodnowusoawsdash-a.akamaihd.net/pgrn/cves/rtlplus/997536/8-1-1d-1-1-1-12.ism/v1.mpd" --save-name "guenstig0107" -sv best -sa all -ss all -mt  -M format=mkv:muxer=mkvmerge  --check-segments-count false  --key 3d12a6fbfe7c852c9a9bb603fd5c7b5c:a5dc9ef5c14db64dad5b8fe22c439365

If the key is right then I don't know what I did wrong.

Here is the whole thing:

that key is for 540p not 1080p

it show cmd

First of all thank you all for the replies.

Hm... The problem is that I am still getting the same key, I've just checked once again:

You keep surprising me, absolutely right that was a different key for lower quality 540p to be exact, but how did you know there’s another mpd link.. I found just one link though, not the one you mentioned 8-1-1d-3-2-1-12.ism/v1.mpd !!! Hope you share with us how did you get the mpd for 1080p and thanks in advance iamghost

[iamghost]

Just edit then change number 3.2.1.12 to 1.1.1.12. It already been post age ago

[pro3154]

Yes, I changed the URL of .MPD to make the video quality better like I always did.
I got … 997536/8-1-1d-3-2-1-12.ism/v1.mpd
and changed "3-2" to "1-1".
So I have … /997536/8-1-1d-1-1-1-12.ism/v1.mpd

My Widevine L3 Decrypter gives me
PSSH:

@iamghost, you're right, I can get another PSSH from my new .mpd (8-1-1d-1-1-1-12.ism). But I can't use it somehow.
As far as I see I can't change PSSH in Widevine L3 Decrypter, see my screenshot (https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/419794-wrong-key-plus-rtl-de-encv-Video-decoder#post2789874).
Do you see any possibility to change PSSH in Widevine L3 Decrypter and to let it guess a new "key"?

[pro3154]

Hope you share with us how did you get the mpd for 1080p ...

xangetsue, You can look it up also here

Obo gives this hint every time It was always very helpful. The difference in quality is immens!

[pro3154]

But what I can't understand is, what happened.
I had been downloading from rtlplus many months. The last time was probably March or April. Something must have changed since that time.
I had changed the URL of .MPD to make the video 1080p every time this way. And I hadn't take care about the new PSSH/key, it just had worked properly every time.

[pro3154]

Well, I added "sd/" to the mpd-URL from the command of the first post (https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/419794-wrong-key-plus-rtl-de-encv-Video-decoder#post2789853) and it worked. The video file worked, with the old key . But I don't know why it worked.
