ERROR:root:Unhandled exception: 'NoneType' object is not callable

[d3cxxxx]

When I try to test the script, I get the error: ERROR:root:Unhandled exception: 'NoneType' object is not callable

I picked the following URL to test: "http://www.einthusan.com/movies/watch.php?telugumoviesonline=Veeraa&lang=telugu&id=3014"

And used it raw, with --curl and with --wget, with the same issue.

Mind checking this?

Is it possible to post the complete command you used ? That might help me to reproduce it.

Eg: einthusan-dl http://www.einthusan.com/movies/watch.php?telugumoviesonline=Veeraa&lang=telugu&id=3014 --wget

This might help me in debugging the issue.

./einthusan-dl "http://www.einthusan.com/movies/watch.php?telugumoviesonline=Veeraa&lang=telugu&id=3014" --curl ./einthusan-dl "http://www.einthusan.com/movies/watch.php?telugumoviesonline=Veeraa&lang=telugu&id=3014" --wget ./einthusan-dl "http://www.einthusan.com/movies/watch.php?telugumoviesonline=Veeraa&lang=telugu&id=3014"

Thanks. I will give a try.

Between is this first time you are trying to use it or suddenly it stopped working ?

[d3cxxxx]

Used it a while ago without issues, but trying it after a long break.

[srid99]

Right. Seems like they introduced a security check (asking for captcha code) to avoid bots (like this download utility) which is good ;). Thus the requests are not processed. Now we have to bypass this check which should be possible.

How urgent you need this ?

[d3cxxxx]

As soon as you find time. :) Also, how did you figure that they introduced a captcha? Once this failed I tried the brute force way downloading the mp4 directly using wget or curl, but got a 404 instead.

[srid99]

I just went to their webpage and immediately got redirected to cloudfare security check (asking for Captcha code). Weren't you asked for it ? Not sure if it is location based. Also I didn't get the error you got. I got a 403 when I tried the command you used.

[srid99]

One more thing can you run the command with "--debug" enabled ?

[d3cxxxx]

I did not get asked for captcha. Same result with --debug too. Is the usage correct?

$ ./einthusan-dl --debug "http://www.einthusan.com/movies/watch.php?telugumoviesonline=Veeraa&lang=telugu&id=3014" --wget ERROR:root:Unhandled exception: 'NoneType' object is not callable $

[srid99]

You have a different issue. Seems like it didn't even pass the argument parsing. It breaks even before that. Which version of python are you using ? Also your operating system ?

Just to make sure it is not the issue with cloudfare (I am almost sure it is not) can you do a 'curl' for the url you posted and can you check if it has contents from the einthusan site and not related to cloudfare ?

Seems to be working if I use wget directly (using the actual URL to the mp4 file). Let me try with curl too.

Broken again. It looks like they are now dynamically getting the movie url.

[srid99]

@krackers You are correct. Seems like they do a lookup for the video URL.

They use this API http://cdn.einthusan.com/geturl/{movie-id}/hd/London%2CToronto%2CDallas%2CWashington%2CSan%2CSydney/ to get the video to be downloaded.

Actually they made our work easy. No need for screen scrapping just use their API :P

[srid99]

@krackers Fixed. Can you try now ?

[ghost]

@srid99 Yeah I looked at the page requests and saw the same. Haven't tested your implementation but it should work fine.

Nice of them to provide the api though! :D

[srid99]

Closing the issue then..
