Description

Probably something went wrong with the latest commit for the pornhub extractor :-/

[dstftw]

Paid video.

[mariosemes]

I am sorry to open it up again, but it does the error for all the videos. If the model/pornstar or whoever has 100 videos, 10 of them are PAID, it says for all of the 100 that he URL cant be encoded :-/

Same issue here. Even for testing, I uploaded a generic video & tried to download it. Same "Unable to extract encoded url" error shows up.

The HLS playlist URL is now stored in a JS variable called something like media_8. The number part may vary according to the resolutions available. In the example I checked, there were also media_0 .. media_7 so 8 was the highest: maybe this will always be true.

The URL is something like
https://ev-h.phncdn.com/hls/videos/yyyymm/nn/num/,1080P_4000K,720P_1500K,480P_600K,240P_400K,_num.mp4.urlset/master.m3u8?validfrom=t1&validto=t2&hdl=-1&hash=hash where num is the data-video-id attribute of the #player element.

Also, URLs of playable mp4 files have been found in variables named quality_resolution, eg quality_480p. One might check for "quality"+res being defined for each res in [ 240p, 480p, 720p, 1080p, ...].
