[NBruderman]

There was a talk on the previous PR about extracting bonus content. This PR is unrelated to that, am I right?

[bashonly]

@NBruderman yes, unrelated. I don't even know how to do it, so someone else needs to open a PR for that

Thank you for getting this together so quickly. I can confirm it works for the most part for videos previously failing with 403 errors, but is this workaround limited in format? I've found that running with -f "b" works fine, but -f "b[height<=720]" gets a few fragments in before they start failing with 403 errors. Not a big deal for archival, just wanted to check if I was missing something.

These are the only formats available to the browser as well

[vidyava]

To clarify, here are the formats available for https://roosterteeth.com/watch/lets-play-2013-126:

ID        EXT RESOLUTION │    TBR PROTO │ VCODEC      ACODEC
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
hls-3513  mp4 426x238    │  3513k m3u8  │ avc1.4d001f mp4a.40.2
hls-10572 mp4 640x360    │ 10572k m3u8  │ avc1.4d001f mp4a.40.2
hls-18239 mp4 1280x720   │ 18239k m3u8  │ avc1.4d001f mp4a.40.2
hls-44769 mp4 1920x1080  │ 44769k m3u8  │ avc1.4d001f mp4a.40.2

If I set -f "b[height<=720]" it catches the correct format ID, just doesn't work downloading it:

I wasn't sure if the brightcove ID changed per format or something?

[bashonly]

I wasn't sure if the brightcove ID changed per format or something?

No.

I can reproduce the issue with the 720p format. But I also can't get it to play in my browser. Can you?

I don't see a way of fixing this. As it stands, this PR is an improvement over doing nothing, since at least you can get the 1080p format.

[vidyava]

Good question. It says it's switching resolution streams in the network logs but the video quality doesn't noticeably change from 240p to 1080p so probably not.

And I totally agree that this PR is exactly what's needed, I was just checking if I was missing something.

Thanks!
