Issue when trying to download ITVX.

e.g. https://www.itv.com/watch/lioness/10a6777/10a6777a0001

It generates keys but when you copy the command line i.e.
N_m3u8DL-RE "https://vod-blue-irdeto-cw.fastly.content.itv.com/jwt/ --use-shaka-packager -M format=mkv

You get the following error.

08:45:52.351 INFO : N_m3u8DL-RE (Beta version) 20241203
08:45:52.365 ERROR: Input string was not in a correct format. Failure to parse near offset 880. Expected an ASCII digit.

Cannot reproduce.
Generated command is a bit long but after removing a long cookie and modifying nothing else downloading works just fine.

Agreed - if I remove the cookie then the command line works (although it didnt initially decrypt as I picked the wrong PSSH/Key pair (as it seems to intercept 2 keys/PSSH sets.
