VGTV.no protected content fails #5853

It does not work for me in browser either. Can you watch it in browser? |
|
Yeah, it works fine for me. It may be geo-protected though. I compared the f4m manifest with a f4m manifest from a ripable video, and this element was the only major difference: The token/protection probably prevents the current script from working on the video. |

It tells me so nothing about geo restriction at all. |

The error means "An unknown error occurred. Please try again later", so they may just have been too lazy to implement a proper error message for geo blocking. Or there's a completely different error on your end. Flashgot (for Firefox) was able to find the manifest and download it, + all the segments, without any issues. I MITM'ed my iPad and watched both a ripable video and a protected one. The difference is clearly the HMAC/token protection. On the unprotected video the segments has URLs like this: while the protected video has segment URLs like this: The first URL is likely still accessible, but the protected one immediately returned 403 errors (likely because of time+something missing from the HTTP request) Flashgot saved the manifest for the protected video from this URL: Here's the manifest for an unprotected video: |

I managed to grab the video by MITM my iPad and really quickly copying the m3u8 manifest URL into livestreamer with the command: The link expires really quickly, I had to attempt it a few times to make it work. At least it proves that ripping the video via a script like youtube-dl is definitely possible. |

this patch will extract the token and add it to manifest url(need someone to test it): diff --git a/youtube_dl/extractor/vgtv.py b/youtube_dl/extractor/vgtv.py
