DRM Decryption

Decryption Requirements

• mp4decrypt >= Any (http://www.bento4.com/) - Only required for decrypting

Instructions

In order to decrypt DRM content, you will need to have a dumped CDM, after that you will need to place the CDM files (device_client_id_blob and device_private_key) into the ./widevine/ directory. For legal reasons we do not include the CDM with the software, and you will have to source one yourself.
