Downloading free to watch movies from Youtube

[rifleman1202]

Is there a way to download this movie? It's free to watch. I have tried FireDM and youtube-dl. Both give errors. youtube-dl states the content is DRM protected and FireDM gives errors and does not download the movie.

If there is a method to do this it would be greatly appreciated if someone could share it. Thanks!

So I understand the basic premise is to download the encrypted video and then the encrypted audio using information found in the .mpd file and then use ffmeg or a similar tool to merge the audio and video using a deciphered decrypted key. I also know that Widevine Decryptor does not work anymore so finding the key is the key here (a lil' alliteration there). I have used Widevine Guesser on Disney+ and had success with it and have been able to use N_m3u8-DL to merge the downloaded files. However, Widevine Guesser does not detect the keys for YouTube free movies.

when I run l3.py on the PSSH and the License URL that I have found for the video I get the protobuf error "unable to parse license - check protobufs". I am using protobuf=3.20.3. Would anyone be able to help me troubleshoot why I am getting a protobuf license parse error using l3.py?

I remember that post it was for clear key DRM not for widevine DRM.
