Adobe Access DRM for Yahoo Plus7

[Paul]

Yahoo Plus7 and Channel 9 both use Adobe's "access DRM" to protect their content. I'm not aware of any tools which would allow me to decrypt this. Unfortunately this means that webdl cannot download this content.

Came back to webdl after some time away. Great to see this working again for ABC. Seems Plus7 are playing hard to get though. Anyone else see this?

Yeah, plus7 switched to an encryption format which I haven't worked out how to bypass yet. They also rearranged all the URLs on their pages which is why you're seeing the above error. However there's no point fixing that until we can decode the new Adobe encrypted videos.

For the record they're using Adobe Access DRM.

I've updated the issue to make it clear that this affects Channel 9 as well.

I found another way to access content on Channel 9 without needing Adobe Flash Access DRM.

Are you able to incorporate any of the code from Yanksy's program I've pasted the link below.

You are able to download using the program with greasemonkey and firefox to download with ffmpeg

That looks useful, thanks! I'll check it out when I have time :)

[Ryan Foyle]

Have you had any time to have a look at this?

[Ryan Foyle]

Found some more code that may help you out...

So i found some more stuff that may help you out this one looks a bit more promising i think but then again im not a python expert

Just wanted to say https://github.com/blha303/plus7-tools works well for me, specifically the single episode download script (get-one-ep.sh). I did have to reinstall ffmpeg with openssl for it to work though (weird that isn't included by default). So there might be potential here for adapting the method for webdl. The get-all-eps.sh script doesn't work for me, it throws an error that I think is related to not passing a user agent to beautifulsoup, but I don't see much need for that script anyway.

Has the possibility of rolling in the functionality from https://github.com/blha303/plus7-tools been considered?

Sorry, I'm not likely to write code to bypass the DRM on Seven and Nine.
