>>102272035If you need to ask you're probably barking up the wrong tree. May I suggest you spend some time reading the videohelp forums.

https://forum.videohelp.com/forums/48-Video-Streaming-Downloading
>>102272042>oh noes someone is asking for help, better not help him
>>102272128How to get the key depends on the site and is a complicated subject. It's better to send you to a place where the question has probably been answered 10 times by people who actually care about the site you're trying to download from. I know how to use widevine cdm shit myself but I probably haven't tried the site you're using.

>>102272252Well start with:https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/413719-Ready-to-use-CDMs-available-here%21You need a CDM to get the keys. Next here are two possible tools to use to get the keys with the CDM:https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/415485-%5BRelease%5D-WidevineFetch-Keys-from-just-the-License-URL-Any-Lic-Wrappinghttps://github.com/FoxRefire/wvg/tree/nextFollow the instructions and put the CDM files where they belong. Then see >>102272034 for tools to download and decrypt. Follow the instructions to use them, or you can use ffmpeg as described earlier. If there's more than one key you will need to decrypt each mp4 you got from yt-dlp individually with mp4decrypt from bento tools. I never tried n_m3u8 so I don't know if it can handle stuff like that. Decrypting manually is how I've always done it.
>>102272240I'm not going to waste an hour of my time setting up something in a CLI just to download 1 video. Some people have jobs.

so is this dude trying to download a paid video?
>>102272622Some sites even use DRM on free videos so it's hard to tell.

>>102273732>Stick to torrenting shit instead of trying to download it from streaming sites then.But mommy said I could do anything I want if I put my mind to it. The things I want are not on torrent cause they're not popular and because of the nature of streaming services, the episodes can disappear any time. Sometimes they don't even have the rights to a movie for a complete year, it's fucked.

>>102274053Sorry for not being on the right private trackers then. I just wanna stop relying on fucking third parties and do that shit myself, like I've done for fucking everything else. And trackers can die any time, ripping knowledge doesn't
>>102274110Well if you're on the best trackers you can get the entire seasons at once. As long as you're hoarding it locally it's not going away. There's also streamfab and you could rip it through having a shudder subscription on Amazon, which is the highest quality so that's what's on torrents, but you'll pay out the ass for it.

>>102274620>chrome cdm to get keythis one?https://github.com/chromedecrypt/Chrome-CDM-Decryptor-4.0
>>102274665That's probably old and outdated. I have a paid API key for a newer one that does work. I'd recommend trying to use https://github.com/FoxRefire/wvg/tree/next instead if you don't want to pay shady people and possibly get scammed. It doesn't work 100% for everything but you can at least get keys from sites that aren't too exotic without paying anything.
>>102274781I can confirm that also gets the key on npo

>>102274620My preferred combo is keydive to generate my own CDM from my phone and then N_m3u8dl-RE with mp4decrypt to download and decrypt it.
>>102274963
>>102274620Why can't yt-dlp do that, is it the chrome cdm?
>>102275146Yt-dlp can only download the video and audio, it has no functions for getting decryption keys or using them to decrypt the video and audio.
since there's anons that know their shit hereis this thing useful? I read it a few weeks ago and thought it was impressive, but is MPEG-CENC widely used?https://phrack.org/issues/71/6.html#articlehttps://github.com/DavidBuchanan314/DeCENC
>>102275273CENC is the underlying encryption. Stuff like widevine, playready, Fairplay, it's just protecting the keys it's not an actual encryption scheme.
>>102275338ok, sounds powerful thenI don't get this stuff yet, but isn't it a complete bypass of the key-grabbing ordeal?as in, I've heard L1 keys are the holy grail and L3 keys are hard but doable to get, but with this you don't need to get the keys so you can get the L1-protected content easy?is it something like that?
>>102275492Yeah it bypasses that. I read through the text on phrack before and he said it only works on video so it's not totally useful yet. My goal is to always get the key because I am most interested in live streams.
>>102271784>IDMThe what now?I use yt-dlp sir.
>>102271880Post the link.I want to try to download that video.
>>102274110at the end of the day, your computer is doing the decoding. either find a way to grab the key or do it DV-R style, where you play the video you want to record, and use a screen recorder to capture it.you could automate the latter, and have it done overnight, and then have a save of the entire series within a few nights.automation can happen as simply as making a script in JS that wait 20 minutes or however long the show is, and then goes to the next link in the series.this is basically the last resort, but the most impenetrable one.

>>102279490we demonstrated in this thread that you can save the video

>>102279725You have to have L1 to get decent quality from most mainstream streaming services (including Amazon), the methods described in this thread so far won't get you very far with that.
>>102279772what do you mean by "decent quality"?I didn't research at all but I thought L1 was only for 4K contentis 1080p also out of the table? are there tiers of quality by bitrate or something
>>102271784>He doesnt know how to dump a widevine L1 key and use it to decrypt video.Fucking lmao what a retard.
>>102279801Dude, I would do anything for L1, but at the same time, I don't care enough to do own research.
>>102279793>is 1080p also out of the tableyeslast i checked L3 limits you to 480p on netflix, i assume it's similar for amazonusing L3 you'll only be able to rip local tv station and small streaming company stuff because they dont bother to pay for extra certificationgetting L1 keys is more involved as more of the code has to be run on a secure enclave. most ripping groups generally keep their methods to themselves. Video streams are also watermarked in a way where a transcode keeps the signature, so you have to be careful not leaking your private key and getting your device blacklisted (but ripping L1 is not impossible of course if you know what you're doing )
>>102279875sounds like getting these L1 keys require real money with real devices to breakwhat's the incentive though?I imagine if you want to make money from it, a WEBrip would be an easier product to sell
>>102272128Look, here's how the game works:-DRM exists to increase cost of piracy.-DRM is expensive to make, so it's made to be Just Good Enough™ to induce a certain conversion.-If it's too hard to see for free, NPC will either relieve his FOMO with cash or will just cry and suffer in FOMO.-If it becomes too easy and too few NPCs convert, publishers invest in stronger DRM.-Stronger DRM makes life worse for the smart pirate.-Ergo, the smart pirates rely on keeping you dumb NPCs dumb so you keep suffering and paying for the content we enjoy, and because if we help then it invalidates our magick and we are back to the drawing board.-You are a desperate drowning man.-You are just going to have to drown.
