Hi there! I was trying to download a 1080p video from Tidal with IDM as usual and now it seems they decided to divide their videos in sections now. I tried using Tidal GUI but all I get is the 360p version of the video... Is this because of the new Tidal webpage layout? How do you download 1080p videos now? thank you so much in advance.
I'm actually trying to get these videos from a group called Hooverphonic: https://tidal.com/browse/video/164567110 https://tidal.com/browse/video/145419056 https://tidal.com/browse/video/108921242 https://tidal.com/browse/video/117045021 https://tidal.com/browse/video/94945076 https://tidal.com/browse/video/59933970 https://tidal.com/browse/video/57945161 https://tidal.com/browse/video/54054810 https://tidal.com/browse/video/23607942 https://tidal.com/browse/video/25634770 https://tidal.com/browse/video/29423824 I really hope you can help me, I've been trying all day to bypass the issue with no luck. Thank you so much in advance! @nickiexclusive which download method did you use?
Some of these videos are not available on Tidal, and "Mad about you" is only available on 480p Here is the link: Hidden Content: You must reply before you can see the hidden data contained here.
I can't thank you so so much for taking the time of downloading and uploading the videos! @medicine sorry to bother you, but did you try this version of Mas About You (2020)? https://tidal.com/browse/video/164567110 The other one is the original 90's video.
One thing I will clarify is that tidal is not encrypting the video files, what is happening is that tidal made some changes to the way segmented .ts files are requested and then Tidal downloader encodes it to mp4 and the problem It is in that now tidal by default when playing a video it will be at 480p and after a few seconds it will be adjusted to 1080p or it will also be changed manually and when this happens tidal downloader even if it requests 1080p or 720p the server will respond with 480p because it gets the first 0.ts file of 480p and it thinks it is 1080p but in reality it is not. this is due to the new design of tidal
there is a way to download videos from tidal and it works and i still use it, if you want me to help you contact me by PM
@Djodjara @amscity @leolokm It's not encrypted. It's probably the stream link format change, that's why IDM couldn't recognize it. There's the master manifest file. Manual grab it for now. lol.
