Can get the downloader to work on macOS

[JosephFM96]

Hi I've been trying and trying with the command python3 main.py -t and then the link and I can't get nothing... I would like to know how to exactly use the downlaoder pls if anyone could make a video working and successfully downloading something.. id like to get some videos with specific times now that I get a subscription active. So wonder if anyone could help with some snapshots of the process or any video it would be really appreciated it --Thx

[JosephFM96]

i don't know if im correct but I open a new term on the downloaded folder (my credentials are already changed on the file needed)

So then I write "python3 main.py -t and link and get nothing just warnings above:

Unfortunately the API used by the downloader seems to not be public anymore since they did some changes in the implementation a few months ago (kind of coinciding with the WWE Network interface revamp).

I think it can still be made to work if the information previously used from cdn.watch.wwe.com is pieced together from other sources, but this will require a bit of work.

I've worked on it today finally, it's hard to do because Australia no longer uses the WWE Network, so I can only VPN to another country and download whatever is free.

I have a rudimentary version working with a glitch or two. You can no longer set a start time from the timestamp in the URL since that's removed from the network, but I decided to add a version where you will be able to set the time in the HH:MM:SS format like the Network gives you.

The status so far is:

Can log in
Can grab the show title and season / episode if it exist (not all have them?)
Downloads the audio (glitches some reason. Need to look into)
Downloads the video/subtitles and chapter information

Ideally I'd love to be able to make a GUI for it because that's always been my goal, I just never got around to it

Thanks A LOT for replying... look im a graphic designer and actually learning and studying some coding I can't assure you I can make a GUI but I am able to help you in whatever you need in case of graphics also like I see you're from AUS so need to vpn for could enter to WWEN so maybe I think that I could help you out in that way maybe getting you some vpn subscription for you that could work fine and at a good and reliable speed or maybe if I can do something from my place (Mexico) ill do it... I dunno nothing of python but I could try my best to or to learn or Help you out (now that I have access to the network and also an active subscription ) so PM if I can be in any help.. sincerely I thought you will not reply me or it'll be a long time for it but GREAT that you're still "active"

Try that branch. I edited the download_util.py so that the code to check if it's a partial download doesn't show there will be every segment downloaded. Hopefully it works.

It does work although I found another bug. I tried -q 2, the video starts 1920x1080 res and then after some mins turns to 1280x720 res.

@freyta just found myself with this.. you know what could be?
