No need to ban users who download content, just ban the service itself (ban as in build roadblocks to deny the downloader service access to your content).
- busymom0 5y agoThey have been trying to break YouTube-dl for many years (and similar framework for iOS) and the code maintainers just need to update their code slightly to find another workaround and get it working again.
- solarkraft 5y agoFor now. I can see actual DRM coming some time in the not too far future.
- lowwave 5y agoNo DRM needed. many sites just use hls.js type of chunk download tactic, it is already enough to prevent ytdl from downloading.
- skinnymuch 5y agoIs there any way to solve for that? I’ve noticed that and maybe that’s it or other chunked download stuff. That I haven’t been able to download. Never looked into this stuff enough to see what solutions are (besides brute force screen recording Ofc)
- no_time 5y agoNo one size fits all solution. You have to reverse engineer the way the script fetches and processes chunks and write a downloader or a plugin that instruments the running code and spits out the video data. When wasm released I speculated that it will make this much more widespread and harder to reverse engineer due having more performace to waste on de-obfuscating at runtime. Feels nice to be wrong in this case.
- solarkraft 5y agoOh, I thought ytdl could deal with that! Do you know the specific issue and whether support is planned? Lack of HLS support would explain why there's no support for Zoom recordings.
