Can't get response with Android/Ios player client

luthfipun commented 1 week ago

Question

I am trying to get a response with the serverAbrStreamingUrlURL from the Android/iOS player client, which doesn't require deciphering.

Then I set the client info like this in the request body :

clientInfo: {
      clientName: 1,
      clientVersion: '19.30.36',
      osName: 'Android',
      osVersion: '14',
      androidSdkVersion: 34
}

However, the response always returns STREAM_PROTECTION_STATUS: Attestation required. I realized that in the serverAbrStreamingUrlURL, the Android/iOS player client query does not include the n and ns query parameters. Is the request body for the Android/iOS player client different?

Other details

No response

It's expecting you to pass in a potoken. But that's quite interesting... The Android client's server abr stream usually returns 403 after a while if it wants a potoken, I've only seen web based clients using the STREAM_PROTECTION_STATUS UMP part for that purpose.

For example, here's what I currently get if I change the client to Android and try to download anything using the abr stream:

Either way, I recommend using the web client's server abr streams, as they don't require PoTokens yet.

It turns out that for the Android client, after a while, all URLs in the adaptive formats return 403. For now, I will use the web client. Thank you
