Not particularly helpful as an answer, but oftentimes the reson why people do not broadly share how to get past DRM, is because they use bugs, that might get fixed if they become too known.
That being said, have you tried to use somethign like OBS and just do a screengrab instead of downloading?
Thank you. Screen recording is my next option. I was just hoping for a more efficient method :P
do not ask me how, but once I found the mouth of a rabbit hole; You can create a virtual desktop, or montior. Render to it, and capture it. glhf
I'm wondering if the issue is SharePoint, not any DRM. yt-dlp and ffmpeg wouldn't be logged in, causing the problem. Try this:
Login into sharepoint in your browser
Get cookies for the page using a plugin, there are a variety of them out there and depends on your browser, but should be easy to find
Using the file you download, run yt-dlp like this:
yt-dlp --cookies=cookies.txt <url> -S proto:dash
yt-dlp crew explicitly state they won't touch DRM for good reasons, and that's fair. Companies using it for malicious reasons like paywalling/gatekeeping education are assholes.
I found two places with guides on how to use yt-dlp or ffmpeg:
Stack Overflow
Reddit
Failing that, OBS (you might be able to stream the file through VLC first, idk) is your friend
I tried these methods already. It was this stream link that yt-dlp said was drm locked and ffmpeg aaid was malformed. I'll try the obs method later. Thank you :3
Edit: looking closer I didn't shorten the url. I might try this later.
Why they put DRM on school lectures?
I have no idea, but I would guess that's Microsoft's doing.
Most likely the programme they use applies it by default, and nobody has the inclination and knowledge to change it.
