Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I've tried downloading them by extracting my cookies but that doesn't seem to work either. (I followed a guide) You can start a free trial on their website if you want to test it as well.

related to #14835.

ealgase commented 5 years ago

Fortunately, there isn't any DRM, at least on the first video link.

natis1 commented 4 years ago

They have recently changed their playlist format with their "dropout 2.0." Before they had a m3u8 file for each resolution. Now they have a single json file that contains all resolutions and in each resolution a segments array containing start and end times in seconds, relative url, and file size.

Should mention that now (I can't remember if they did before) but now seem to just be using Vimeo for their video hosting. (vhx.tv is Vimeo's subscription hosting system https://vimeo.com/ott/home ) So if you provide a cookies.txt file with the logged in credentials, downloading single videos works perfectly.

Downloading entire playlists/shows doesn't work though.

Hi, I've been looking into this for a little bit and am struggling because I always get the error "ERROR: Unsupported URL: https://www.dropout.tv/videos/prompocalypse". I can download successfully by using the vimeo OTT link, but I can't download using the dropout link while passing cookies using the guide (https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/blob/master/README.md#how-do-i-pass-cookies-to-youtube-dl).

To test like for like, I tried downloading the video from the URL thibaultmol used in their example, using the following command: youtube-dl "https://www.dropout.tv/dimension-20/season:9/videos/the-stabber-of-the-evening" --cookies dropout.tv_cookies.txt

This resulted in the same error: "ERROR: Unsupported URL: https://www.dropout.tv/dimension-20/season:9/videos/the-stabber-of-the-evening".

Again, I do have a bit more of an involved workaround for this, so it's not a massive issue, but since I'm new to youtube-dl, I thought I would double check that I did not do anything obviously daft.

Anyone struggling with this, I realised that the cookies file in the same folder as youtube-dl was not being used, and it was instead creating a new cookies file in my root user folder. When I put a longer path to the exact location of the cookies file, it started working!
