JCineDown

• JCineDown is a small Python utility to download VOD content from the Jio Cinema streaming site. I utilize open source stuff to achieve this objective, By communicating with their server APIs and simulating browser's flow.

• Widevine utility scripts use device ID blob from the old devices to allow server authorising keys for the streaming with Keys Caching to allow reusing keys without getting them again. A sample device's blob is provided in the project which is blocked by the server right now.

• The main objective of this project was to learn and understand video streaming technologies and DRM's inner workings and downsides.

• To properly use this project, binaries of ffmpeg and mp4decrypt need to be placed in bin directory then put the working device id blob in the cdn/devices for the widevine. It only supports guest token and so will only work with content that is watchable without any account.
