I haven't looked at this repo in a very long time, but just quickly looking at your video examples:

• Priest
  • content unavailable
• Stealth
  • DRM protected streams only
• Colombiana
  • content unavailable
• XXX
  • content unavailable

Suffice it to say, videos having its "content unavailable" cannot be accessed.

Videos having DRM protection cannot be downloaded by this utility because it doesn't support DRM protected HLS streams. If you want to see all of the available DRM protected HLS streams and possibly download them using a different utility, my Greasemonkey userscript for TubiTV will display that information.

I was able to watch: https://tubitv.com/movies/642405/colombiana https://tubitv.com/movies/100015519/xxx using Firefox (Debian 11.9 Cinnamon GUI) but not able to download using tubidl.

recently?

I've loaded both pages in Chrome and FF.. and all it shows me is "content unavailable".

Are you in the US? Maybe I'm geo-restricted (being that I'm in the US), whereas you're not?

Although I highly doubt this would matter.. what is the "User-Agent" of your FF?

[DebianJK]

User-Agent: "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0" I am in Canada!

[warren-bank]

I'll test a VPN..

[warren-bank]

OK.. that was the problem. "User-Agent" had nothing to do with it.

Using a VPN to make TubiTV think that I'm also in Canada.. I was able to watch both movies (Colombiana and XXX).

The issue with downloading these movies is DRM. Both of these movies are DRM protected. (Refer to previous comments about DRM.)

[DebianJK]

If you want to see all of the available DRM protected HLS streams and possibly download them using a different utility

Okay! Do you know of any other utility able to download DRM protected streams from https://tubitv.com?

[warren-bank]

short answer: no

longer answer: the utility doesn't need to specifically be for TubiTV.. you can get all of the relevant URLs from my userscript.. and plug them into the generic utility.. I'm just not aware (off-hand) of any generic utility that will convert HLS+DRM to MP4.

Thanks!
