AETV.com Unable to extract video url #23363
Comments
|
I'm also seeing the same behavior. As mentioned, #23390 seems to be the same issue. A&E has moved content to a new player on play.aetv.com which no longer works with the youtube-dl extractor. |
|
Additional information is in #23092 in the comments marked off-topic. |
|
Workaround: (Hat tip to @tmgd-dot in #23092 for hints that led the way here.)

Why is no one looking at this, this effects multiple sites, currently I can't download any videos from history because of this. This needs to be given some attention. |
|
jlick's suggestion works BUT for some reason only seems to offer low quality resolutions, at least on history. For example one video was only available in these resolutions (shown when using the -F option): format code extension resolution note I noted that there were only three m3u8 files shown, the master.m3u8 and two others that were identical except they had different numbers just before the .mp4.m3u8 extension, one had 400 and the other had 1800, and the 1800 one was the one that gave the 960x540 resolution. Last year I know you could get 720p so I am not sure why the resolution is so low this year. |
|
well, i'm facing the same problem.. while appointing the manifest link manually works, the resolution on the manifest is capped at 540p. but probably it is on the server side, maybe a business decision by the channel itself once all the content is being sold on amazon... i don't know. i hope they make available higher resolutions again, as their encodes were already of a really bad taste (i mean huge filesizes/bitrates and still visible pixeleted artifacts on the scenes).. keep up the great work team! |

You can get 720p. If you get fastly m3u8 change the number before .mp4.m3u8 to 2500. So if you have the 540p m3u8 change 1800 to 2500 in the URL and it will be 720p. If you get akamai m3u8 reload until you get a fastly one. There is a method to get 1080p but I don't know it. Maybe someone will share here. |

@dstftw Maybe the contributors are not aware of this issue, but the supported site document lists history.com as a supported site. This has been broken for over two months. Can we get some attention on this bug? |
|
read https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl#how-can-i-speed-up-work-on-my-issue, the issue will be locked if the rules are not followed. |
|
any news? |
|
@yemaozitw 720p method works fine. I tried changing 2500 to numbers up to 10000, in increments of 100, but none worked. There might not actually be a 1080p version, or maybe there is but it can't be obtained by just changing this number. |
|
Issue is still present in youtube-dl version 2020.06.16.1 |
this worked perfectly on Lifetime on firefox as well! Cheers |
I also tried the same thing before commenting without success. There are releases out that claim to be from AETV and are 1080p so there is a way that isn't obvious or they are using another source or the whole thing is a fake. |
|
Youtube-dl documentation continues to list the aenetworks as supported. However, 9 months after initially being reported, this issue is still present in youtube-dl version 2020-07-28. How can I be of assistance in the efforts to resolve this issue? |
|
I put together #26795 that gets the extractor back into a working state. Feel free to patch it locally and test it out. |
|
Also, depending upon your MSO (specifically Spectrum), you may need #26792 patched as well. |
|
@kevinoconnor7 Many thanks! |
Thanks so much, applied this on my machine and it works great. |
