- I try to download "Desperate Housewives" episodes.
- I clicked on "#", then on "6play", and on the episode i want to download.
- Yes i bought it, november 2022. It used to work before when i tried to download something from 6play.

Ok well i can see that France is still the capital of excessive ads. Geez...
Anyway, i wasn't able to reproduce your issue (Maybe you pay for "No Ads") but please try the following steps and see if that works for you.- Go to the episode you want as usual
- If the StreamFab pop-up says Youtube Downloader or Youtube Plus Downloader, just click cancel.
- If there are ads, let them play. (I feel it's like a full 5 minutes of ads!)
- Once the actual episode starts playing, you should see a blue pill at the top of the video and it should say MPD
- Click the MPD blue pill
- Add the video to the queue or Download Now.
Let me know if that worked for you.

Oh wait a second... I just realized your screenshot appears to be from a Mac and not a PC.
If i am right, then i am sorry to tell you this is not gonna work for you as there is no DRM MPD module in StreamFab for Mac.
That is why i wasn't able to reproduce this.
What likely happened is that 6play recently enabled DRM and switched from M3U8 to MPD. It used to work with the Youtube module because there was no DRM.
If you want to be able to download from that site, you need DRM MPD and because of technical limitations, it is not available for Mac. If you have a PC or Parallels, you can try StreamFab for Windows

As you can see, took 1 second to download subtitles, 45 seconds for the video and 57 seconds for the audio.
I will let StreamFab know about this

9 hours later, only 53% of the video ...
It's way too long, i cancelled everything.
For info, i paid a subscription on 6play so i have no ads and 1080p quality. So the video i was trying to download was in 1080p.
Hope one day the problem will be fix because i have no idea how to use yt-dlp (i guess it's not that easy ).

Hi,
For the download speed problem, I will ask the dev to check it.
And for the video, you can also use YouTube Downloader to download the video if it shown as “Ready to Download”.

I also noticed there is none subtitles available to download.

I did notice it was extremely slow but i just chalked it up to a bad VPN connection. I just tried again and still impossibly slow with StreamFab but blazing with yt-dlp.

I'm completely surprised that you are able to get anything using YT-DLP. According to their open issues they are about to completely remove the 6play extractor being that they only use DRM now.

https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/24967
As you can see from my screenshot, the filename is as generic as they get because there is no metadata information (show name, episode number, etc...) in the .mpd
They could remove all extractors and yt-dlp would still work with .mpd or .m3u8 URLs
