DRM MPD 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

[Info]: [CefMedia]  Non-monotonous DTS in output stream 0:0

Result:

[Info]: [CefMedia] frame=  250 fps=0.0 q=-1.0 Lsize=     166kB time=00:00:04.99

Background:
The problem in this case is that there are 3 videos in mpd:

<Period id="0" duration="PT5S" start="PT0S"> => 0:00:05
<Period id="5" duration="PT49M12.480S" start="PT5S"> => 0:49:12
<Period id="2957" duration="PT5.360S" start="PT49M17.480S"> => 0:00:05

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

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

or dl mpd and remove 1st and last <Period> section and add/change the <BaseURL> ..
.. 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.
