Once upon a time, I thought I saw a guide where yt-dlp can work with CR but for the life of me I can’t find it. Does anyone know if it still works? I have a premium subscription and would like to make sure I still have access to some of my favorite shows should I move out of country.
Yt-dlp doesn’t deal with cracking, but by fetching the files from DRM-free endpoints of a given service. And from what I’ve seen in issues from both yt-dlp and Grayjay, such endpoints were all removed in recent months for Crunchyroll (and by extensions, neither support downloading from Crunchyroll anymore).
That explains it. And I’m also guessing that no one has figured out the holy grail of removing the DRM from a legit stream short of screen capturing?
People in scene know methods to decrypt the DRM keys, that’s how we get all those webrips but it’s a well kept secret
So I actually dug into it and got it working! It’s a bit of a rabbit hole to extract the needed keys.
That is so cool!!
I went down the rabbit hole a few years ago and couldn’t find anything, ended up wasting my time.
Mind sharing resources in DM? You can just drop me some nuggets I can figure out rest myself.
Don’t post publically, don’t want it to be patched out.
Don’t know tbh
