ERROR: Unable to get license!

[Cyberbear20]

When I run the programme I get the error ‘ERROR: Unable to get license!’ with the following console output:

I have stored the dump in the device folder and already validated it. Everything is fine with it. I have created dumps of several devices to be on the safe side. I get the same error with all of them.

Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

[keidarnxd]

It started happening too.

[VRHannahVR]

Apple has updated the acquireWebPlaybackLicense endpoint. It now returns {"status": -1003}, likely due to a change introduced this week. From what I saw, the license request now requires a valid challenge. Using something like "CAQ=" no longer works.

[DongLym]

I have also encountered this problem, how should I solve it？

[ramalhormo]

For me all goes well until I get the error below:
KEY ERROR: 0.

Anyone has some pointers to overcome this?

[Cyberbear20]

In the last few days I have tried to implement a new approach for the downloader, but my attempts have failed.
My programming skills are probably not currently sufficient. That's why I'm putting the project on hold for now.
If someone finds a solution, please keep me updated.

[keidarnxd]

I'm currently using Glomatico software until the issue is resolved.
