Video DRM protected

[David Banner]

Trying to download from Virgin media. I know its DRM'd but I tried with YT-DLP just to see. It said this video is DRM protected and would not download. Should it not at least download the protected video?

Do you know how I will remove DRM?

Do you know how I will remove DRM?

By getting the decryption keys.
And you may now ask, how to do that.
Well, read the sticky threads of this sub-forum.

How can I tell what sort of DRM is on it. I looked at the stickies but do not see how to use them or even which one?

Thanks but I do not see how that helps me. I have already downloaded the MP4 video and the M4A sound. It does not say what DRM. I read the DRM should be mentioned in the details tab but it is not.

Im a big time noob. What I do is, if a specific information isnt readily available Id try to find out what other information I need to decrypt the file(thats my objective right?). That link provides you with information you need to decrypt the files.

A pssh for instance is required. If its not in the same thread, search a bit more to find out how the pssh can be obtained for that particular site.
Next a lic is needed. Find out how you can get that.
Next headers... and so on.

That way, you get a head start. Sometimes you can simply follow the breadcrumbs and reach the finish line, sometimes you get stuck midway, sometimes you will fall flat on your face. C'est la vie

So rather than getting stuck with one thing, try different approaches.

Virgin media UK or Ireland? There player app (android) or the website catchup service? VM is a bit of a mix, especially in Ireland. There is a website and app that allows catch up to it's own programming, and that uses widevine. .They also have a site and app that allows catch up for all the other channels it's carries on it's STB's. And, that doesn't use WV, last I looked, it seems to be using MSPR.
