Help with Geoblocked ''Free'' Youtube Video

[mandate2346]

I promise I really tried!
I'm not sure if it is DRM, Geo-Blocked or both but after trying (and failing) to use some of the programs, extensions and methods here, I admitted defeat.
The Video is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_wX6KX0Po8

Any help would would much appreciated.

[mandate2346]

Thank you but this is not the video I'm asking for help with.
The link I provided is for ''Chasing Childhood'', you've posted a link for something completely different, ''My Sister's Keeper''.

For those thinking this thread is solved, I'd still very much appreciate some help with it.
Thanks

It is not geoblocked in the USA I can watch it.

using yt-dlp I got this :

WARNING: This video is drm protected and only images are available for download.

This video is DRM protected.

[mandate2346]

Yeah, It's available in USA but with a VPN I still cannot use any of the tools to download it.
Is there anyway to save this when it has DRM?

[cholla]

I tried to download a DRM protestcted video about a week ago.
Posted in this topic:
https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/416333-How-to-deal-with-Youtube-asking-to-sign-in-...age-restricted

No success for me on downloading it. From YouTube.
Fortunately I was able to find it on another website without DRM protection.

You could try a Screen Capture software.
Capture the video live.

[mandate2346]

Yeah, that's my last resort.
I did try using yt-dlp with the ''allow'' command and it downloaded the video and audio separately. The video played fine for a few seconds then appeared corrupted so I got ''somewhere'' but ultimately, nowhere.

THANKYOU! I really appreciate your time and effort.
As Cholla has asked, I'd also love to learn a little about how you did it if you could explain that'd be fantastic.

Thank You cedric8528.
I'm still studying on how to use Widevine.
It will take me a while.

Alternative method. I needed USA VPN obviously.
The *.flv is the audio download and the .264 is the video.
When it finishes download, it automatically mixes audio and video to create a video with audio.
It takes as long as the video length but hey it works!!

With respect to Post #11 (cedric8528)

I tried this code

mp4decrypt.exe --key 34121f46a72e55bd9dc7f059d09ea037:97c8862da446ed8a81aa106d5f27fc3d --key b9807ebdb6dd518980048df9a782e12b:fce0bab2f48c9609f48acc6ea88566ff --key b1f940e857625e46844c40e1740f79db:dbdf1520ab1a8de6ecfdb0edad54637e audio.m4a outputaudio.m4a

but the decrypted output audio (outputaudio.m4a) plays for less than 1 minute then dies. It's as if the decryption key is incorrect. But, the video decrypts fine and plays.

Experiencing aac bitstream error

Tried
ffmpeg -i outputaudio.m4a -c:a copy outputaudio.fixed.m4a
but it did not work

Any ideas as how to correct this. Thanks

The audio in the file uploaded by cedric8528 plays fine but I am unable to recreate his decryption technique with respect to the audio

Maybe cedric8528 will be kind enough to explain how be bypassed this. Thanks

[cedric8528]

Try to download audio separately


[Attachment 87325 - Click to enlarge]

yt-dlp -N8 -f150 --allow-u https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_wX6KX0Po8

Next, decrypt as uasual with mp4decrypt.

[Gromyko]

@cedric8528, thanks for the reply

tried

yt-dlp -N8 -f 150 --allow-u https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_wX6KX0Po8
ERROR: [youtube] y_wX6KX0Po8: Requested format is not available. Use --list-formats for a list of available formats

Audio file downloaded, renamed to audio.m4a and the decrypt code ran

mp4decrypt.exe --key 34121f46a72e55bd9dc7f059d09ea037:97c8862da446ed8a81aa106d5f27fc3d --key b9807ebdb6dd518980048df9a782e12b:fce0bab2f48c9609f48acc6ea88566ff --key b1f940e857625e46844c40e1740f79db:dbdf1520ab1a8de6ecfdb0edad54637e audio.m4a outputaudio.m4a

but after decryption, the same challenge resurfaces. Audio plays for less than one minute then silence.

ffplay outputaudio.m4a

gives the following error messages

[aac @ 000002122145b280] channel element 3.5 is not allocated

Thanks for your help.

Weird...

Check your version of yt-dlp.

cedric8528, Again, thanks for your help.

I have finally found the source of the challenge. The problem lies with mp4decrypt.exe.

I used this code and it worked.

shaka-packager input=audio.m4a,stream=audio,output=outputaudio.m4a --enable_raw_key_decryption --keys key_id=34121f46a72e55bd9dc7f059d09ea037:key=97c8862da446ed8a81aa106d5f27fc3d --keys key_id=b9807ebdb6dd518980048df9a782e12b:key=fce0bab2f48c9609f48acc6ea88566ff --keys key_id=b1f940e857625e46844c40e1740f79db:key=dbdf1520ab1a8de6ecfdb0edad54637e

I am using mp4decrypt.exe from

Bento4-SDK-1-6-0-641.x86_64-microsoft-win32

[cedric8528]

weird because I don't have to use Shaka-packager to decrypt....


[Attachment 87333 - Click to enlarge]

Anyway, glad it works

[Gromyko]

Ok, you are using an old version of the file.

I reverted to an old version of mp4decrypt.exe and it works. [Guess I found a bug in mp4decrypt.exe]

Thanks for your feedback Gromyko !
