- drm metadata onlyfans protection
Yeah, saw other OF girls tweeting about it with big claims. One says the Chrome extension no longer works for downloading. The other saying screen recording / screenshotting is no longer possible. Can someone confirm this?
Ask that question yourself, does Denuvo block people from hacking games? No it's a useless DRM but now you might say "but it's not the same situation" to that i can tell you 2 things:
-Attackers will always have an upper leads against the defense. (Except if it's highly secure but we are talking about coomer stuff, nobody is interested into highly securing that stuff)
-Leakers always exist
So no this stuff won't block shit, and the people that are tweeting about it that this will protect their content are the same people that believe Messenger and whatsapp is totally secure and private.
Edit: forgot to mention this, read the last sentence. If you want a better security you might need to do some compromise, if ppl have device where they can't look at the content they will leave. Double edge sword lol
i'm guessing the DRM onlyfans uses is "widevine" which is the same DRM used in every streaming service. i'm pretty sure there is a publicly avalible tool that lets you bypass widevine's L3 Mode
I can confirm that "DRM" has been rolled out for some video content, and that the scraping tools/techniques that I have been using no longer seem to work for those videos (which also happen to run like shit on my device).
I'm definitely not going to be buying content and subscriptions if archiving is going to be a pain moving forward.

I appreciate the update. Let us know if you find a workaround please. Thanks.
Just use a sandbox and open chrome. DRM wont work on sandboxed browsers.
Use sandboxie on chrome

The "publicly" available tool for Widevine L3 is just to disable hardware acceleration on your browser. However you're limited to 720p streams maximum. L2 or L1, you need keys. If they use L2 (rarely), the raw content is still accessible without the key.
This under General Settings enabled?
there are specific repos with modules that can obtain keys for the drm protected content,it can be fairly simply to integrate with the current scrapping scripts or to make one from scratch.
Can you please explain how
Well, can confirm it is indeed widevine that's been implemented:
I've only seen one video today with this, uptake doesn't seem that widespread yet. Wonder how long it'll take majority of creators to catch on.
I'm sure there are or will be workarounds, but OF having laughable/borderline nonexistent protections was fun while it lasted. Likely that this signals the end of my video archiving days
I noticed this on a DM'd video preview earlier this month. Interestingly, she resent the video without it later, and none of her videos since then have used it.
I was able to use VMWare, and then use OBS to record the window. Much less convenient, but if your recording settings are right the quality difference will won't be that bad.
Haven't saved anything myself yet, but I figure it won't be much different than other DRM. Some extensions (use Chrome) will allow you to save the video (it's still encrypted however, and won't play). From there you can use ffmpeg to decrypt the video using the key in the .mpd file which you can get using "The Stream Detector" addon.
There's probably an even easier way using streammate, aria2 or yt-dl with cookies enabled, I honestly just can't be bothered to check.
It's only a matter of time before someone makes it just as trivial as it was before, if they haven't already.
However, it's DRM, so the tools to explicitly do it likely won't be hosted on github or anywhere you'd expect to see them.
