Installation:

1. Install Python (check 'Add to PATH' if on Windows)
2. Clone main branch or download latest version from Releases
3. Place required tools inside Freevine folder OR add them to system PATH (recommended)
4. Create /utils/wvd/ folder and place either .wvd file or private_key and client_id blob inside
5. Install necessary packages: pip install -r requirements.txt

Tip

Clone the main branch to always stay up to date:

git clone https://github.com/stabbedbybrick/freevine.git freevine

Common issues:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ...

You haven't installed the necessary packages. Run pip install -r requirements.txt

"Required key and client ID not found"

Content is encrypted and a decryption module is needed. This is up to the user and not provided by this project.

ConnectionError: 400/403/404

You're most likely being geo blocked by the service. Use a VPN or try the proxy option.

Credentials:

A user profile with credentials can be set for services that require it:

freevine.py profile --username "USERNAME" --password "PASSWORD" --service "SERVICE"

Note

Setting a user profile will create a profile.yaml in the service folder that'll store credentials along with cached auth and refresh tokens

If a service requires cookies, you can use a browser extension to download cookies as .txt file format:

Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/export-cookies-txt

Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gdocmgbfkjnnpapoeobnolbbkoibbcif

Name it cookies.txt and place it in service folder

Proxies:

When using the --proxy option, you can either provide one or request a proxy using country codes (US, UK, SE etc.).

In order to request proxies, hola-proxy and/or windscribe-proxy is required. Download the exectutable from the releases page and rename it to "hola-proxy" or "windscribe-proxy". Place it in the same location as the other required tools. System PATH is recommended. Make sure to specify which proxy you want to use in the config file.

freevine.py --proxy US
freevine.py --proxy "01.234.56.789:10"

Note

The proxy only affects API and license requests, not downloads
