I couldn't find a thread related to mubi.com and since they changed to a new method to deliver the video files, it's time to open one.

It seems that the video file is splitted in several .dash files: playlist-video****.dash and playlist-audio****.dash.

I don't know how to provide now and the files doesn't play in a media player. Are there somehow encrypted?

I already searched this forum for 'dash', but couldn't find much information. Is this topic related to the netflix thread? And how can I find the 'key file', if I need one?

At the moment, I'm looking at the bento4 suite and hope that I find something useful.

Does someone managed to download their content at the moment?

Any help will be welcome.

EDIT: Or is there a script that can download all chunks based on an URL to a 'manifest.mpd' file?

It seems that MP4Client from gpac (https://github.com/gpac/gpac/) is able to download the different fragments. But I am only able to stream the first few fragments. After that it ends up with 'Network Timeout'.

GPAC contributor here. If you need a downloader for DASH, could you please submit an issue with the tag 'feature-request' at https://github.com/gpac/gpac/issues?

If you still encounter network error from the client, please provide the mpd URL too!

The only method I've had any real luck with was using VLC to stream and to save the stream to a file.

In the browser I look at the network traffic in the developer tools and filter on "mpd" which gives me the link to the manifest. I go to VLC, select network stream as a source, paste in the URL to the manifest and then step through the screens to save the stream to a file. This works 90% of the time. Sometimes there is a stream that cuts out too quickly and once lately I noticed that the name of a playlist started with "drm". VLC could not even stream that.

I have to use a nightly build of VLC 3. VLC 2.x does not work. I have to go into the preferences, search for "dash" and select "fixed bandwidth" and put in the preferred height and width. Note that if you switch between VLC 2 and 3 you have to reset those preferences.

Hope that helps someone. Spent a lot of time figuring that out. I played around with the GPAC stuff with much luck.
