see #14719 for a working account

[DavidTre07]

Hello,
I think this problem is not related to flash or an account needs.
If you want to centralize all tickets in relation with 6play, I will follow the #14719

Thanks.

Hello,
Following this issue: 6play not working for me either: HTTP 403 as well.

[tmpaccount56]

Here is a quick fix:

In file "youtube_dl/extractor/sixplay.py"
replace
asset_url = re.sub(r'/([^/]+)\.ism/[^/]*\.m3u8', r'/\1.ism/\1.m3u8', asset_url)
by
asset_url = re.sub(r'/([^/]+)\.ism/[^/]*\.m3u8', r'/\1.ism/Manifest.m3u8', asset_url)

Tested with https://www.6play.fr/top-chef-p_872/episode-1-saison-9-c_11874201

[cafehaine]

Can comfirm it works, tested with https://www.6play.fr/norbert-commis-d-office-p_4668/Yaniss-piratage-de-fruits-de-mer-Emmanuel-sabotage-de-quiche-c_11817466
Do you want to create a pr @tmpaccount56 ?

[emmtte]

Thanks @tmpaccount56, good job
Need a commit for this patch

[AlanTnr]

youtube_dl version 2018.02.04 works for me on the two food show links indicated above (top-chef from tmpaccount56 and norbert-commis-d-office from cafehaine). However, it does not work for this link: https://www.6play.fr/this-is-us-p_8255/Saison-1-episode-4-c_11859205.

My link is a time-limited "replay" of a previously broadcast emission. This site, like the sites of most other major French TV channels, allows many/most previously broadcast shows to be viewed by streaming. Some of these "replays" are available only for a limited time (typically one week). The two previous links which work are apparently not time-limited -- that is the only difference that I see.

When viewing these three videos in Firefox, DRM seems to work the same way. If the Widevine module is disactivated, after some commercial advertisements the page throws up a request for Adobe Flash (which I do not have installed). If I activate Widevine and load the page, the video begins playing after the ads. If I disactivate Widevine while the video is playing, the video stops and the Adobe Flash request comes up.

(I have no idea of what issues DRM presents for youtube-dl. I've seen no related info in the FAQs or other documentation for youtube-dl.)

(I re-downloaded youtube-dl a few hours ago, as automatic update no longer works on my Mac -- I see this was flagged in another report -- and I hope this is the latest version).
