FS#1283 - [hypervideo] YouTube's DRM has prevented this software from obtaining the video URL
With the recent update to hypervideo, my workflow is broken as I can’t archive several youtube channels with hypervideo, the error is always the following :
WARNING: unable to extract html5 player; please report this issue on https://issues.hyperbola.info/ . Make sure you are using the latest version; type 'pacman -Sy hypervideo' as root. Be sure to call hypervideo with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.

It's a feature to protect freedom
by avoiding DRM and nonfree bytecode
parsing, not a bug.

What list of videos does this error come up with? Can you give us more information?
Remember you can not download videos with DRM
https://dpaste.de/spfe/raw ← test list of video without DRM
Information about DRM:
link-still
This is not a commercial channel, I don't understand, please see the log for an example, the issue is not present with youtube-dl :
https://dpaste.de/7ZQ3/raw
It's in fact, there are non-VEVO videos which are DRM ones too, some of them made by "youtubers" that don't care freedom. The issue isn't present with youtube-dl because it parses and runs nonfree bytecode required by all YouTube DRM videos. You can see here for reference:
https://git.hyperbola.info:50100/software/hypervideo.git/commit/?id=e4cffeb28069f07f9ad2ebba938df7599cec7ca3
I tried with your playlist Jesús E. and it works fine but not with the channel I shared above.
Thanks for the explanation but how can I download the channel then ? Is there an alternative ? For now I reinstalled youtube-dl, compiled for arch pkgbuild but it is not practical as I have to deal with mpv, mps-youtube etc.. as well.
Seems those channels require nonfree bytecode to download.
The best way is rejecting nonfree stuff to protect your freedom. It isn't alternative, is a choice. [0] :)
I know André. I already made huge compromises to achieve a 100% free system (including hardware)
It is always painful to find out non-free stuff is hidden everywhere nowadays.
Unfortunately, some people and companies support DRM to mistreat the user. For that reason we as activists should join forces to end it.
I can attest to hypervideo working. :) It does work still.
IT is more about individual drm then google drm ... what the OP's problem is about. Google does usually license parts of youtube as free software. Pushover licenses, but at least its possible.
Never thought that google wouldn't be the bigger issue in such issues. They are usually though all the time.
Between google, facebook, netflix, microsft, apple and other proprietary vendors all of whom should have their money ripped out of their hands... its good there are some people and even organizations trying to fight them with their hearts.
Thanks for the detailed explanation winter.
I didn't know about individual drm for videos.. Well I've thought it was concerning the usual suspects (VEVO, music channels and such..)
Good to know.
So, I don't know.. should we close this "bug" report ? As the "bug" is not from hypervideo.
Or do you see a workaround ?
Sorry for the bug report, at least I learned something.
Just to clarify, I consider the usual suspects with the exception of google to be individual drm.
But yeah, this bug has no purpose to my knowledge at this time.
