How are you going to respond to widevine l3 decryptor's death at May 31st?

[royjeon215]

I heard there are yet no alternatives.
The script will be revoked and blocked by Google and Widevine at May 31st.
This means we will no longer be able to download and decrypt widevine contents.

How are you guys preparing for this change? Does anyone have an alternative?

[notaghost]

many people have alternatives already it was never this only way to get content keys.

Edit: Please do not PM me about this i will not give you anything like chrome Widevine Decryptor L3 extension thank you.

I don't really understand why they have "let us" use the extension for so many months since it was "revealed".
Why they didn't just stop us using it in the first place?
Obviously they've updated the dlls and we had to use old dlls.
What exactly are they going to change so that the extension will stop working even with old dlls, and, once again, why they didn't do what they are going to do on 31 May, few months ago?

"With the release of this latest client, Widevine will be removing support for older browser clients on May 31, 2021."
But I don't use an older browser client. I use the newest browser client with a small change of a dll module.

Unfortunately I believe you are wrong. Widevine is revoking the support for older DLLs which means after May 31, you won't be able to play or load any widevine content with older dlls. tomer, the original author of widevine l3 decryptor clearly said that after May 31 we won't be able to use any dlls that are older than 4.10.2209.0.

Can you tell me any alternatives you know?

I mainly asked a bunch of questions.
In what exactly am I wrong?
I didn't say the extension will continue working or anything, even though it seems like I was hinting on something like that.
Where did that tomer said that?

[no_neck]

bump, can someone help with alternatives?

[Shaico]

+1, trying to find alternatives too, can anyone help?

May 31st is "Smile Day".

There is a publically available script that predates Tomer's addon and I cannot say for sure, but probably forms the basis for the Chrome addon (?) Only Tomer could answer that. There are around a dozen forks of the git too.

The WV keys will still have to be made available for browser playback but will not be supplied to the dll. They will still have to be supplied though. The script does not utilise the dll like the addon does but still supplies them in txt format.

Tomer has said he is not releasing a new addon/extension. Someone else may.

So, when's the D-DAY?
Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?
Also, according to which time zone?

I feel anxious. Also a bit excited because challenges are interesting and extremely rewarding.

it is getting closer, i don't think they will going to make chrome check for you cdm because this can be bypassed.
they are going to modify it entirly.

[[ss]vegeta]

Check https://widevine.rip/

Yeah, I wouldn't consider a 'fan' made joke site with a simple countdown timer as a reliable source.
As a proof, that site now shows a popular meme indicating something died but the extension still works at 2 sites I checked.
And one of those sites is HBO.

[notaghost]

when you request for the key you also send them your cdm version they can block it and they will.

some websites have it already blocked.

this is exactly the same fate that happened with Nexus widevine L1 when it was leaked to some people.
now if you will request keys by nexus L1 cdm
you get message something like this:

ACCESS_DENIED

But this was like a month ago or something.
So this "widespread automatic ban" as it is "advertised", does not seem to be that way.
Still, developers will have to manually modify stuff and they could have done that months ago.
Let's hope most of them won't.

I though that site was official. But, yes, it's still working for me (for now).

[[ss]vegeta]

Really? You thought the Widevine devs would make a site with .rip domain and put a countdown timer on it?
To laugh at us that we will not able to get keys anymore?

Indeed.
This is a sad, sad day

Lucky for me the 2 sites i'm using (they're not globally popular) still work just fine.

Can confirm that Stan (AU) no longer works.

Although gratitude to all those here who left enough breadcrumbs around for me to cotton on to this method, it gave me enough time to do what I needed to do. It was a short few hours but fruitful.

[Khal1d]

So, is there any new way to get the keys without the extinsion after it's death?

[noikz]

ITV Hub + CTV also no longer working.
