Downloading encrypted m3u8 (ffmpeg error) from Bioscope.tv

[ratherbe]

So I'm trying to download 1080p videos from this website that uses JWPlayer.

Link to example video: http://www.bioscopelive.com/en/watch?v=76PgzzlSKfk

So naturally I tried youtube-dl first, it decoded the .m3u8 file, fell back to ffmpeg to download it. And this error appeared:

youtube-dl http://www.bioscopelive.com/en/watch?v=76PgzzlSKfk

I also tried to get the .m3u8 from 'Source' in browser dev tools and ran it with ffmpeg to copy the stream.

This is the output:

Is there any other way that I can download the video? Thanks!


Update 1: Using jDownloader and the .ts file , I downloaded a 1.76GB .ts file, but it won't open in any player, and has no MediaInfo.

No dice so far.

If you downloaded the full 76PgzzlSKfk_1080p.ts file, you can decrypt it with ffmpeg using a small edited m3u8 file as the input.

Copy

76PgzzlSKfk_1080p.ts
76PgzzlSKfk_1080p.m3u8
encryption2.key

into the same folder along with ffmpeg (if necessary). Then run ffmpeg command line:

ffmpeg -i "76PgzzlSKfk_1080p.m3u8" -vcodec copy -acodec copy -absf aac_adtstoasc "76PgzzlSKfk_1080p.mp4"

You're a wizard!

Alright so at first I did that and ffmpeg returned this:

ffmpeg -i "76PgzzlSKfk_1080p.m3u8" -vcodec copy -acodec copy -absf aac_adtstoasc "76PgzzlSKfk_1080p.mp4"

So I allowed extensions using

-allowed_extensions ALL

and then it worked perfectly! Video is playable.

Since there's a few more episodes I need to download. I need to get the encryption key from each video to do that, right? Thanks!

And looking at your custom m3u8 file, it looks like the only change I need to is to change the filename in line 7 in my photo, correct?

They may be using the same encryption key file (encryption2.key) on different videos. If so, you can use the same file with other videos. If the encryption key for other videos has a different name, you'll have to get that key.

That's right.
