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.

This has worked pretty well for me most of the time

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?

I'd love to try if u DM me the name/show.

I can tell you but you'll have to pay to get access from the beginning and I haven't paid myself yet. All the limitations are from previous attempts.

Thank you though

What's the software you use?

Have you tried this: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/40426

It is its own proprietary software and I couldn't find the URL it's having connections with. Even if I could, it's a bit too risky to try. They ban all the people who even tries to download/record their video without refunds.

Have you tried changing the name of the video recording software? If the developer was lazy, it just checks the softwareName.exe :)

Tried. It's HDCP enabled so no use.

If you can play it on chrome then Go to Settings and DISABLE Hardware Acceleration and record (Bandicam worked for me).

Spoofing the VM so it doesn't report as a VM is possible, albeit difficult and what works for one app, might not work for the other.
