Viki authentication 1080p download not working.

[jeraldpunx]

The viki is working with this command
youtube-dl.exe -f best --get-url https://www.viki.com/videos/67066v-sungkyunkwan-scandal-episode-1 and the best quality is 480p

but if I use the premium account of viki to fetch HD videos, it error me and this is my command.
youtube-dl --username *****@yahoo.com --password **** -f best --get-url https://www.viki.com/videos/67066v-sungkyunkwan-scandal-episode-1 --verbose flag

It return me this.

youtube-dl.exe --username [email protected] --password querty123 -f best --get-url https://www.viki.com/videos/67066v-sungkyunkwan-scandal-episode-1 --verbose

I am having this issue now too.

I am wondering if the _APP_SECRET value changed again, and would need to be udated in the viki.py file.

Does anyone know how to find/figure out what the new value is? When I login to the site and use the Chrome Inspect tool, I do see the dash files for all the resolutions. I get the same JSON metadata / HTTP 404 error as both of you guys though.

[SeanGilroy]

Looking at the login page source:

<input type="hidden" name="authenticity_token" id="authenticity_token" value="cZPvSFgWRCNv+qkQxZm1HER2sjyiGpIyl0mwDO1Sb0PnGrdM3hStQwVEXoB7zAlOfjItY4fhjT/6o0g3e9vFsQ==">

Changing to this value does not seem to fix the issue, same JSON message.

Please help! When using username and password I am also getting the error:

ERROR: Unable to download JSON metadata: HTTP Error 404: Not Found

Authentication can only be done now through HTTPS.
In viki.py need to change
_API_URL_TEMPLATE = 'http://api.viki.io%s&sig=%s'
to
_API_URL_TEMPLATE = 'https://api.viki.io%s&sig=%s'

[SeanGilroy]

Yes! This change did it for me. Thank you!

[GuyMicciche]

Great! If everyone's saying it's working, I will give it a try! Thanks for figuring it out, and please incorporate it into the next release!

i'm waiting for the release change (windows)
