Any possible way to download/record videos from DRM video player software? (lemmy.world)

There's a DRM video player(won't tell you the name as it's only a domestic software in non-English speaking country) that prevents recording by literally any means I can think of.

These are the methods that does not work

Using screen recorder: DRM software force kills all the softwares related to screen recording/sharing. It goes completely black if you try to do with some niche software.
Using VM: DRM software detects VM and force stops
Using Video capture card: it is somehow blocked. I do not know any specific detail
Using yt-dlp: It's using it's own proprietary software and I failed to get the url of the video.

Any possible solutions I might be missing out on?

HDMI splitter, some product specifically says they are able to bypass HDCP.

I heard some successful attempts using it but not sure it still works. Is there any chance that the software can detect using such hardware?

This has worked pretty well for me most of the time
