Help to download Blessings 祖先保佑 full series

ds2003 commented 5 years ago

Hi

Currently, I'm using download_toggle_video2.py to d/l newer toggle series and the old download_toggle_video.py (in which I have to manually choose the "hlstv_hd/f/a.m3u8" option) for older series.

However, for Blessings series, it seems like there are 3 groups of links:

1) Using download_toggle_video2.py , I'm able to d/l ALL the episodes' english subtitles and the following episodes: ep2, ep3, ep4, ep11, ep12, ep13, ep14, ep16, ep18 & ep20 2) Using download_toggle_video.py , I have to manually choose the a.m3u8 option from the list of options and get the mp4 file in its 6 digits filename (e.g. ep1 was downloaded as 301012.mp4) Eps able to be downloaded: ep1, ep10, ep15, ep17 & ep19 3) Wasn't able to d/l the following episodes using either of the py files, ep5, ep6, ep7, ep8, ep9 I was able to play these 5 episodes on toggle.sg

For the manual options, I've tried all of them for ep5 to 9 but only those for a.wvm works. Those pointing to a.m3u8 all error'ed out saying the file did not exist.

Can anyone see if they have a way to download ep5 to 9 as mp4 files (i.e d/l the m3u8 files)? Thanks.

If the episodes were recently published online, I'd wait a few weeks for them to be available through the script. I cannot say for sure how Toggle works, but local shows are almost always 'available' in the end.

No, they're not new. The series was aired in 2014, though I have to admit they are currently re-airing the series in the off-peak periods cause "season 2" is going to be aired next month Oct 2018.

Not sure if they had "re-published" the toggle episodes, though the series is 4 years old, but the site did state the episodes were only "published" last week.

Okay, thanks, I'll wait for a few weeks and try again. Thanks!!

Is this also the reason for the "mix" of needing to use the old video.py and the new video2.py - cause they're possibly "re-publishing" the episodes? As mentioned, I usually need to use the old video.py for old toggle shows and the new video2.py for the newer toggle shows but this is the first time I encounter a situation where I have to use both .py to download ONE series.

I had no problems downloading using Youtube-dl or its GUI, Youtube-DLG:

Just tried Youtube-dl GUI version as recommended on ep5, got the following error (status of the download was "Warning").

[10/03/18 14:44:02] WARNING: Failed to download DASH_HBBTV MPD manifest: HTTP Error 404: Not Found [10/03/18 14:44:02] WARNING: hlsnative has detected features it does not support, extraction will be delegated to ffmpeg

@hexapling did you try d/l ep 5 to 9 which were the episodes I was unable to d/l (and still not able to even though the repeat telecast has ended last week).

hexapling commented 5 years ago

I'm terribly sorry, @ds2003 I only tested the first couple of episodes. Didn't know 5 to 9 isn't working. Hope you'll find a solution soon!

Very strange.... Have tried all sites that claimed to download toggle.sg videos. They can download other toggle local videos but not Blessings ep 5 to 9.... Just these 5 episodes. Frustrating also is that the downloadable wvm file only plays up to the first minute, even though the downloaded file is the whole episode, probably due to the DRM protection.

If any techie can help look into this, I would really appreciate this!!

BTW, just discovered that Wonderfox video conversion programs can actually download toggle videos!! But even this program can't download Blessings ep 5 to 9?!?!

So.. @ds2003 have you verified if the script works for your episodes 5-9? As I've indicated in the README, other tools may work better for downloads, so feel free to use them!

ds2003 commented 5 years ago

Hi.. thanks for asking.... nope, these 5 eps are strangely unable to be downloaded. They seem to be encrypted as shown from the output of the script below. It managed to download the first X seconds of the video before the encryption kicks in.

I had also tried downloading the m3u8 index file, and manually concatenating the various parts locally but in the end, the mp4 still didn't work (video ran for a few seconds with no audio, similar to the wvm file I mentioned in previous msg).

I also found another series (30ep) which has just 1 ep which is also "suffering" from this encryption error. I was able to download the other 29 eps.

The ep is at https://video.toggle.sg/en/series/the-unbeatables-s2-2/ep23/201983

There were a few other series that has 1 or 2 ep like these but I can't remember which are them, so not sure if toggle staff is forgetting to release the DRM "lock" or other reason.

Anyway, have run out of ideas but if you have any inkling and can resolve this, I'll really appreciate it!!
