Description

On the wakanim website, I have trouble downloading videos, for example:

$ yt-dlp 'https://www.wakanim.tv/fr/v2/catalogue/episode/27775/fruits-basket-saison-3-episode-13-vostfr'

It looks like the website has changed and yt-dlp is not working with it anymore.

Please see the log file.

Incapsula is blocking the webpage download 😢

[Totorrr]

@pukkandan any cookie, referer or other parameter we could pass to Incapsula for it to allow the download you think?

Not that it would matter anymore since they'll stop their service soon, but here's a solution to that Incapsula problem:

1. go to the website and start your developer tools in your favorite browser
2. open a page for an episode or movie
3. look in the network tab at the request of the actual website (first entry) and find request headers
4. there's a header called "Cookie" with pretty long content containing lots of incap and other stuff - copy that
5. add in command line to your request: --add-headers "Cookie:<content>" (in Firefox copying already included the Cookie: part)
6. also add --cookies-from-browser and --user-agent string from your browser, just in case (I only tested that way)
7. enjoy not downloading all the drm protected content (didn't have any luck so far - everything I tried has drm protection)
