Description

WRITE DESCRIPTION HERE
FreedomPlatform.tv is no longer allowing direct access to the 'm3u8' file, nor its related 'ts' files. It seems they have implemented on their Wordpress site 'VideoJS' to serve up access to the m3u8 and ts files only in a browser context.

For instance :
Executing 'wget' on the m3u8 yields a 403 error.

wget https://vod.freedomplatform.tv/mp4/vod/LR532-Dr-Sherri-Tenpenny-FULLEPISODE_HLSprofile.smil/LR532-Dr-Sherri-Tenpenny-FULLEPISODE__HLSprofile.mp4_chunk.m3u8?nimble_video_index=1

I confirm this is a problem. I cannot figure out how to download or get around these restrictions. I did find out if I set my VPN to London, I can get around certain blocking rules but not the ones for VideoJS .vod files using the playlist.

I tried exporting the cookies (after the dumb email list signup) and reading them into youtube-dl with the --cookies option and still get a 403 when trying to read any m3u8 on a video page.

Anyone here have any luck figuring it out yet?

@Neurognostic Neurognostic commented Sep 18, 2020

I think I figured it out. Use the --referer option to specify the URL of the video's page. For example:

youtube-dl --referer 'https://freedomplatform.tv/alex-jones-behind-the-pandemic-how-the-globalist-agenda-will-cause-a-massive-world-depression-destroy-society/' 'https://vod.freedomplatform.tv/mp4/raw/Alex%20Jones%20160920_HLSprofile.smil/playlist.m3u8'

No need for authenticating, cookies, or spoofing location.

I wasn't able to download the example you highlighted. However, I was able to download other videos using the '--referer' flag. Thanks for pointing this feature out.

I wasn't able to download the example you highlighted.

I removed a newline character from the example, works now.

Not sure, it's working for me on version 2020.09.14. Try with --ignore-config. Debug with --verbose.


This is working for me:

Still no good.

Hmm, that IP address is Australian. When I connect I get a UK IP (even though I am in North America). Maybe try using a VPN to the US or UK; like @rhawk301 suggested.

Also check your web browser dev tools, maybe you need to use a different resource identifier (i.e. URL) for your region than what I have in my example.
