New issue with ITV Download #360

Open pgadget opened 2 years ago

pgadget commented 2 years ago

I am experiencing issues downloading ITV programmes. Here are my details.

Mac OS 10.13.6 Mac Mini 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 - GIA 1.21.12 Trying to download any ITV programme is failing. BBC is fine. I tried different versions of GIA without any success.

I see a lot of 403 errors. Are you using a proxy to download from outside the UK?

pgadget commented 2 years ago

I use a VPN to the UK by Surfshark. I use this a lot for connections for UK and US without any problems that are obvious

Since I am still having problems DL'ing from ITV, I scanned some similar (older) issues. Just noticed that your log indicates use of Python 2.7 , which does not support TLS 1.2 security mechanism that ITV now uses. Issue 277 suggests how to use python 3 which supports TLS 1.2. It worked for me, for a while, until I encountered different issues with ITV.

There was no sign the OP problem had anything to do with Python 2 or SSL. youtube-dl was simply fed something it couldn't parse, ultimate cause unknown. Python 2 works fine so long as its SSL support is sufficiently modern (otherwise, GiA would never work). You get that either by using the most recent python.org installer (the workaround from #277) or by upgrading to a sufficiently recent version of macOS (already the case here, just barely).
