youtube-dl: Atresplayer broken: ERROR: Unsupported URL

In case it is of help, #16278 is a duplicate of this one.

Is there any updates on this? I tried over several urls but it seems to keep giving me the ERROR: Unable to download JSON metadata: HTTP Error 404: Not Found (caused by <HTTPError 404: ‘Not Found’>)

UPDATE:

I just solved the problem I had. It is simply necessary to make a request to a url to obtain the happy cookie.

I’m trying to fix the bug, but I’ve got stuck.

Indeed, as such @BlackHoleSpain says, now atresplayer forces you to authenticate with a free account to view the content.

The process to get the video urls is this:

1. Make a request to a url, for example: https://www.atresplayer.com/lasexta/programas/al-rojo-vivo/octubre-2019/11-10-19-raquel-ejerique-los-monjes-del-valle-de-los-caidos-reciben-340000-euros-anuales-del-estado-por-rezar-y-leer_5da06aa27ed1a8dfc5d00579/

2. In the source code of the page following the regular expression: r “window \ .__ PRELOADED_STATE__ = (. *?);” there is a json who has a “href” key with a url to the episode information. https://api.atresplayer.com/client/v1/page/episode/5da06aa27ed1a8dfc5d00579

3. Making a request to that url returns a json that has a “urlVideo” key with a url. https://api.atresplayer.com/client/v1/player/episode/5da06aa27ed1a8dfc5d00579

4. Make a request to this url. In the response are the links to download the episode with ffmpeg.

    "sources": [
        {
            "src": "https://nogeovod-fy.atresmedia.com/vsg/_definst_/assets9/2019/10/11/699D3510-B86D-4704-821D-6A05F1559514/es.smil/playlist.m3u8?pulse=assets9%2F2019%2F10%2F11%2F699D3510-B86D-4704-821D-6A05F1559514%2F%7C1571022000%7C923223c967ef5b75b27b9366e7c57509 ",
            "type": "application/vnd.apple.mpegurl"
        },
        {
            "src": "https://voddash-fy.atresmedia.com/vsgdash/_definst_/assets9/2019/10/11/699D3510-B86D-4704-821D-6A05F1559514/en.smil/manifest_mvlist.mpd",
            "type": "application/dash+xml"
        }
    ],

The problem: This last request requires to be authenticated. In particular it is necessary to make the request with the header: Cookie: ATPSESSION=MTU3MTAwMjY0N3xB............iM9Ct6o (Large session id)

Here comes the strange thing: The login in principle seems to be a basic authorization that returns a cookie with a session id, but this cookie is not the same as we need to make the request. From what I understand, I think that just after logging in, it makes a weird non-standard oauth flow authentication by mixing oauth and session cookies that gives you the correct cookie (ATPSESSION).

So this is where I am stuck, I am not able to get ATPSESSION cookie.

I share it here. Surely we can fix this bug together.

Cito tambien a mi paisano @Nekmo

Yes. Atresplayer is still broken. Furthermore, the site has changed again on September 1st for the new 2019-2020 season, and the workaround programmed by Nekmo the last year, does NOT work any longer.

Hace 2 días hice el Pull-request, por lo que sólo queda que el equipo oficial lo verifique.

https://www.atresplayer.com/antena3/series/la-catedral-del-mar/temporada-1/capitulo-1_5b01c7e07ed1a8b40081b3e6/ tiene subtítulos (hay que elegir el 2º “español” que aparece en la selección, justo encima de “desactivar”)

@enavarrocu Gracias por la ayuda! Descargandooooo

EDITO: Lo he probado con dos vídeos y se han descargado sin problemas. Gracias de nuevo!
