I wonder how this fares with android rooting, ios jailbreaking and generic desktop reverse engineering. Surely i can capture the screen video buffer in some way or another. And most probably someone dedicated enough would find the encryption scheme and key from the binaries to extract source media.
Back in the days there were apps in cydia to get a hold of all the snaps you received since they were just lying unencrypted inside a private sandbox.
- Gigachad 5y agoI had a rooted android and still found it hard to get around it. The only way was with the xposed framework thing and you have to install a module that disables the secure flag thing. It wasn't compatible with my device so I couldn't see any way to do it.
- amelius 5y agoIt might not stop everyone, but it could stop most people. Hell, I even stopped trying to use developer tools to extract facebook videos because they made it more difficult, and stopped using youtube-DL because Google is now throttling it. Main reason is that it's not worth the trouble anymore.
- faeyanpiraat 5y agoLast I did FB video downloading like a year ago I had to write a script that converts and stitches video fragments together. It was still doable, but quite inconvenient. Simpler to just record screen with OBS. I lost a favourite video of mine from youtube, fortunately someone reupled it, so I quickly ripped it with OBS, as the youtube downloaders had trouble downloading the audio part.
