DRM videos not downloaded when running natively on Linux

[modelfe]

Running this natively on Linux as described here isn't downloading any DRM videos.

Non-DRM content downloads fine. No problem downloading DRM videos on Windows. I haven't tried running it in Docker yet.

Output example:

What version of ffmpeg?

[modelfe]

What version of ffmpeg?

ffmpeg version 4.4.2-0ubuntu0.22.04.1

[melithine]

You really want 7.0.2 or newer. Some older 6.x releases are fine, too, but I'm not sure which, and people have had the most luck with 7.0.2+.

On Linux I can confirm that on the latest snapshot of ffmpeg (https://ffmpeg.org/releases, scroll down to "ffmpeg-snapshot.tar.bz2", version is 2024-11-20 19:26 at the time of writing this), as well as on the latest commit of this repo (6b823f4), DRM videos do not work. Regular videos do. DRM videos also download fine on Windows as OP said.

Unlike OP, I'm also using my own device_client_id_blob and device_private_key, which do work (I can download DRM videos on Windows, as I said).

All other versions of ffmpeg that I have (version 6, 7.0.2, 20240504, and 20240629) have the same issue with DRM content.

The error message is also identical:

Exception caught: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hello, I am also having the same issue. I am running Docker on Mac and can confirm I have the latest release of ffmpeg but I still get the same error message as the original poster. It will not download DRM videos.

Docker doesn't use the version of ffmpeg on your computer, it uses one inside the container which should be fine. (I use the Docker image pretty much exclusively unless I'm specifically testing something in Windows.) Are you using your own CDM keys or cdrm-project?

[braedanman]

cdrm-project, is that what is causing issues?

[melithine]

Potentially. Check in the Discord server, I or one of the other folks can give you keys.
