DRM issue - Some of the scrapped videos do not show picture, just playing audio.

Open Barwnik opened this issue 3 months ago • 3 comments

Some of the scrapped videos do not show picture, just playing audio. It is like a new encryption has been put in place by OF.

Seems like on some pages the older videos are downloading and converting just fine, but all the videos after January 2025 are downloading this way.

System Info

  • OS: MacOS 18.6 or MacOS 26
  • Browser simulated is Firefox
  • Version the latest
  • Python the latest version
  • those videos that are showing black picture are downloading with file names ending with _1920.mp4 or _1280.mp4 or _720.mp4

Has anyone got a workaround to decode this DRM correctly?

This is usually an issue with the version of FFmpeg you are using. Newer version seem to have issues. Using FFmpeg 7.1.1 or lower should fix your issue,

How can I check this? I tried "ffmpeg -version" but it doesn't seem installed even though I've been using this scraper successfuly for years now
