Waipu.TV Loads advertisements or signs instead of the video

Bommel69

For certain videos where advertising is played at the beginning or an age rating notice is displayed, SF only downloads these. The download takes just as long as if it were downloading the entire video, but you only get a small video with the advertising or the age rating notice when SF is finished.
Example: Profiling Paris.

I can only confirm the issue - I tested "Profiling Paris.s01e01"

> an age rating notice is displayed

SF dl (very slow) 2064 segments each with 2kb and logged multiple
[code][Info]: [CefMedia] Non-monotonous DTS in output stream 0:0[/code]
Result:
[code][Info]: [CefMedia] frame= 250 fps=0.0 q=-1.0 Lsize= 166kB time=00:00:04.99[/code]

Background:
The problem in this case is that there are 3 videos in mpd:
[code] => 0:00:05
=> 0:49:12
=> 0:00:05[/code]

Manual Solution:
Open DevTools in Browser (F12), click on Network and filter: mpd
Now play (or reload) your episode, so you should see a mpd at the left.
(Alternate use Extension like cat-catch, The Stream Detector or MPD Detector)

Copy this url and use this url with current N_m3u8DL-RE

[code]N_m3u8DL-RE -mt true -M format=mp4 --ad-keyword ad.wpstr.tv --ad-keyword Black_Slate "your mpd url"[/code]

or dl mpd and remove 1st and last section and add/change the ..
.. the "Non-monotonic DTS" will then also disappear

btw: Of course other DRM protected streams need also key to decrypt

Unfortunately that doesn't help me, but thank you for your effort. I bought SF so that I could easily download videos. Even with Waipu.tv it's complicated enough because you have to work through each video that works individually.

It would be news to me that SF claims to support Waipu ..
.. but of course I can understand your wish.

If I look at the date, 2 weeks before my post - so "It would be news to me" is right.

btw: It was after your last Waipu problem (possibly not before you bought SF) - here
and I guess it works for most videos too

Then take a look at the first few pages in the forum ..
.. there are currently not many services who download everything without errors.

Current problems:
Amazon, Canal+, ESPN+, Hulu, Netflix, NowTV, PlutoTV, SkyShowtime, Stan, Youtube ..

I have confirmed your problem and identified the cause ..
.. that's all I can do - I'm not an SF developer.

It should be clear that something can change daily with every provider
and it will probably not take long until nothing works anymore - info
