But after merging i get unplayable file master [master].mp4 with strange size 209MB

[pukkandan]

Are the files before merger (Use -k) playable?

[TyroSpy]

with -k option video file is worst playable, don't work rewind, audio file play fine.

I'm not sure if this website should be supported. On Kinescope's CDN page, they claim that all videos in their network use DRM technologies such as ClearKey and Apple FairPlay.

[pukkandan]

While many sites like to pretend clearkey is DRM, you need to stretch the defenition of DRM quite a bit for it to qualify. So it is supported by yt-dlp. Other DRMs will not be supported.

I have verified that atleast the given example URL does not contain any real DRM

[TyroSpy]

Now, with latest version yt-dlp, the video downloads well, after merging I get the true file size and there are no problems with playback. I can't know this was be a developer fix or it changes were made in the resource itself

[Mefisst]

Tell me how to download step by step? I have a video embedded in the site, but I don’t understand how to download it. How to get a link to a video on a website page and then how to download it?

[TyroSpy]

Save web page and then find in the html file with link .m3u8 extension. But protected content placed directly on kinescope.io nevertheless does not possible to download.
