How to download a (DRM) protected video

[h3mlock]

Hi,

A newbie here. I was trying to download this video clip - https://www.9now.com.au/millionaire-hot-seat/2023/episode-73 and I got an error message that says "this video is DRM protected".

Could you please advise how to download it?

I've tried screen recording as well, but it didn't work.

Thank you.

I can't access this site because I need to create an account.
Using screen recording is not really the best idea.
Try using TubeDigger it might work

your using yt-dlp and showing DRM Protected so add --allow-u on cmd

 N_m3u8DL-RE -M format=mp4 --key 4241de475062430db605f94fea8eef17:09754af479d7d59dd151dddb084f8234 "https://manifest.prod.boltdns.net/manifest/v1/dash/live-baseurl/bccenc/4460760524001/ff6609ac-54eb-4a5f-80fd-aa7c74c997a2/2s/manifest.mpd?fastly_token=NjRhZTVmMjJfZGQzOGZlMWFlMzI3ODdhOWE0Yzg4ZDY0M2NlNzY0NjFjMTUwMzk2OTVkYTU1MTAxNTA2YzE1NmRjZjQyM2JiYw%3D%3D" --save-name Millionaire_Hot_Seat_Season_2023

Thank you. I was able to download the file with --allow -u command.

However, I could not play the file afterwards. Will the file still be protected? =S

h3mlock, now you decrypt the video and audio with the keys iamghost show you in his code (4241de475062430db605f94fea8eef17:09754af479d7d59d d151dddb084f8234)

Use this comment of mine to decrypt https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/410097-Channel-5-download-help#post2694483

Hi guys, I tried following this thread, I too am trying to download 9now content, but I can't quiet see what you have done.

I have yt-dlp and ffmpeg installed and have been using them for a few years now, but this is my first time coming up against DRM content with them.

When I run --allow-u on yt-dlp it tells me that its still encrypted and it dumps the video and audio out like normal into my folder, What I don't understand is how you have found the keys/unencrypting the files once I have them locally?

Right now my code looks like this:

yt-dlp --no-part --restrict-filenames -N 4 --ffmpeg-location "C:\Program Files\ffmpeg\bin" -f "bv*+ba/b" --allow-u --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/127.0.0.0 Safari/537.36" --cookies-from-browser chrome --referer "https://www.9now.com.au/" "https://ssaimanifest.prod.boltdns.net/ap-southeast-2/playback/once/v1/dash/live-timeline/bccenc/4460760524001/8d5a1a45-c60e-44a2-a268-949ed95072a1/d0134397-7dc2-42b4-b130-fd20232e5f3d/036919c2-bc67-455d-9ba1-aa1e88379046/content.mpd?bc_token=NjZhOGVmMmRfMzMwNWU5ZTQzN2IyMzFlNjRlYWE1M2E2ODNjNDdmM2U3NDBkNjU5MjIxYWI2MTBkOWQ1ODFjN2FmYzgwNTI1NA%3D%3D&rule=discos-enabled"

Hope you can help me out,

Well not sure what else you have setup, but what lego pointed to you will be helpful.

You can also use

https://cdrm-project.com/

Get the PSSH from the mpd, and use the license url.

Paste in, with nothing additinal will give you the key/keys.

Same goes with using ozivine is great -

https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/415165-%5BRelease%5D-Ozivine-Australian-FTA-Downloader

Or I have a basic l3.py script that also works. All give same exact key, so all 3 options work.

Ozivine is the easiest, fastest. Just relies on python, etc. You can read from that link.

https://cdrm-project.com/

probably the easiest for doing very little but copy/paste and use N_m3u8DL-RE, shaka-packager, mp4decrypt , and ffmpeg in your PATH or in directory where you are running commands from.

Long post, just hope it helps clear things up.

[doggydoo3]

Thank you so much, I think I got it working. Yes I was going to Olympic replays. I have managed to capture the Olympic live streams from 9now with no problem as they haven't encrypted those. Some sports they don't save the streams so you have to capture live, but for the ones that do like the basketball I was hoping I would be able to just grab the replays, and now I can.
Thank you so so much.

You are a legend!

Please help me with steps to get the highest 4K resolution file for this file, https://olympics.com/en/paris-2024/videos/group-all-around-final-rhythmic-gymnastics-o...mes-paris-2024

I tried Mac Screen Capture on my 6K display, I do not get any audio and i have to leave my monitor on for 2-3 hours.

I am an idiot with Terminal and things of that nature.
Thank you all for you time and instructions.

How do you know that it's 4K? There's only 1080p available.

I found this though, if you really want 4K:

[Attachment 81657 - Click to enlarge]

I subscribed to those services, it’s not 4K or 4K HDR. On devices, like Apple TV+ box and others, the source (1080p) is upscaled into 4K. Rec 709 (SDR) into BT.2020 (HDR)
The upscaling sucks. It’s also not AD free. While Youtube premium is AD free, they do not have HDR version. I read Olympics was recorded in native HLG for HDR, but yet to find where it is broadcast or store.

While I enjoy watching my paid services for the upscaled 4K, it’s blotchy, as my internet service isn’t good enough. Hence why i want to download the original source.

Thanks

[larley]

I also doubt that they're serving 4k in the browser, so probably only on embedded Android devices, like a FireTV Stick 4K.
The only problem is the a FireTV Stick 4K can't do upscaling, so they can't be lying, and these services must be serving 4K.
