freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF files

[tresni]

Currently it only looks for wma files. Adding wmv support should be straight-forward, just don't have a drm'd video file to try. You shouldn't need to show the drmdbg window or click multiscan though, unDRM.Net should do that for you automatically.

All unDRMd files are in the same directory as the original file.

Indiv key: 11.0.6000.7000
drmdbg 2008/01/01 10:20
freeme2 2008/02/08?

Updated General options now work. Source attached. Should work for any file that drmdbg can get a license key for. Only tested with wma files.

Put unDRM.Net.Exe, freeme2.exe (and libeay32.dll), and drmdbg.exe in the same directory. Then launch unDRM.Net.Exe. Select the directory where your DRM protected music is stored. Select your options. Hit unDRM, wait for music, click OK, wait for Done! dialog

sorry if this is the wrong thread, figured with the other freeme2 tools in the first post....

Hi, thanks for your GUI - it works fine. I only have the problem that every time I start it the ini file dmrdbg gets rewritten and looses the Indivboxkey etc. After writing it in manually it is ok. Then it gets lost again. Why it the file rewritten every time? I have everything in the same dir.

Can you please help me?

Apparently my last post was not displayed, so I repeat my request for help.

I have 4 movie files of around 1.5GB, with DRM.
I have licences for all of them.
I managed to use drmdbg & freeme2 perfectly on 3 of them.
But when trying to free the last one, I've got a memory error message in return.
After around 35% of operation, freeme2 stops and returns me the error. 'Memory allocation failed in handle_copy"

Any help appreciated...?
Thanks!
Bill

Some of the options need to be written, and in C# it's easier to rewrite the entire ini file then to change the specific options. The IndivBoxKey should be found by drmdbg regardless, atleast it is for me. YMMV

You forgot the lines for the [IndivBoxKey] and [drmv2clt] file paths when building the .ini file... At least that's what I think might have created the issues for me (I was getting "Write memory full" or something to that effect from drmdbg. I added the lines to the source and republished the project and boom! It changed about 20 files (wma) in 3 minutes; whereas it may have taken me 1 hour doing them one by one.

That's the joy of shared/open source

Did you just add blank entries for IndivBoxKey and drmv2clt to the ini file? Or are you putting in the full path to your files? Depending on which way you got it to work, I might add an option to the GUI screen where users can input the location of IndivBoxKey and drmv2clt, otherwise I'll just add blank entries to see if that helps.

I sure hope this thread is still being looked at. I am trying to use the unDRM tool as it appears to be the best suited for me to undrm my yahoo files (4500 songs). I estimate from what someone else wrote that it will take about 9.5 hours to do it. I know drmdbg can get my license as the stand alone did just fine. My question is, does this process create another file (song) in the same folder as the original only with a "freed" tag? I thought I read that it did, but I am not seeing an (after about 40 mins after I hit 'unDRM'). Is there something I am missing?

PS
I stopped the process (hit OK) and got a "not responding" thing from windows. Then unDRM said my first song was unDRM'd, but I don't have a mirrored song. Please advise.

I recommend that you download and run FairUse4WM instead of freeme2. It's much easier to use.

Did someone can develop a newer version for WinXP SP3 users? Or it released yet?

[chappatti]

FYI, I have Win XP SP3 running when I use the WMP10 route posted above using FairUse4WM.....Just a thought!!

I actually do not have Vista, I uninstalled it long ago, because it sucks..... Any other ideas?

Here's my progress so far. I tried at home but turns out I have the newer indivbox key and I didn't want to mess with WMP so I am trying on a different pc that is also win xp pro. I started by going to add/remove programs and removing wmp 11 and the runtime. Rather then uninstalling it asked it just said rolling back to wmp 10. So after rebooting Iwent again to add/remove programs and choose add/remove windows components. I selected windows media player. This rolled me back to 9.5

I uninstalled rhapsody.

Then I rebooted and installed WMP10, then installed rhapsody, rhapsody said it needed an update to wmp 9 and 11 runtime so it installed it.

I then downloaded drmdbg and freeme2
I edited my drmdbg.ini like the original poster suggested. Here is my complete ini.

[Form1]
State=0
Left=30
Top=128
[wmvdir]
path=C:\Program Files\drmdbg\
[drm2dir]
path=C:\Program Files\FreeMe2\
[TopWindow]
0_or_1=0

[IndivBoxKey]
path=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\DRM\Cache\Indiv02.key
[drmv2clt]
path=C:\WINDOWS\system32\drmv2clt.dll
[MakeDRM2Dir]
0_or_1=1
[SubDirScan]
0_or_1=1

I am 100% certain that I have show hidden files and folders enabled.
I navigated to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\DRM\Cache\

but it was empty.

Regardless of that I decided to copy one DRM file into the drmdbg folder and then double click drmdbg.exe

The box just next to multiscan displayed
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\DRM\Cache\Indiv02.key v11.0.6000.7000

So that looked like it is supposed to.
Then the WMV dir is C:\Program Files\drmdbg\
and the DRM2 Dir is C:\Program Files\FreeMe2\

Makr DRM2 Dir and Sub Dir Scan were both ticked.

When I clicked multi scan it found the WMA file that was in the drmdbg folder and it displayed below showing the full path/filename.

And in the final box it also showed
<DRM2WMV2>
<KID>some characters</KID>
<SID>some characters</SID>
<INFO></INFO>
</DRM2WMV2>

Then I went to the freeme2 folder and the DRM2 folder does exist with a file called DRM2.key. Opening the file will show the XML or whatever code that drmdbg displayed for each file you scanned.

Then I tried dragging and dropping the same file (meaning the WMA file that was in the drmdbg folder) onto freeme2.exe

The cmd prompt window opened up and showed a progress animation in black and gray text. When it got to 100% it closed and in the drmdbg folder was a new file called
Freed-myfile.wma

So after successfully being able to do tracks one at a time, I tried the perl that was in this topics first post. I had to install active perl first though of course.

I took 3 folders that contained 1 drm file each and moved them to a 2nd hard drive (just for testing sake I didn't want to test on my entire library yet.The objective was to confirm that the batch would scan all the subfolders and then free each file.

So my folder was like this
e:\testfolder\freeme2 batch.pl
e:\testfolder\folder1
e:\testfolder\folder2
e:\testfolder\folder3

drmdbg opened and successfully scanned found the key for each file. However freeme2 did not launch and begin the decryption process.

Then when I went to drag and drop the file one at a time onto freeme2.exe

The window said
No ENABLINGBITS elements in license!
Press <ENTER> to ackknowledge error.
And doing so closes the window

So for some reason only ONE of my DRM tracks can be freed Every other I've tried so far shows the error.

I don't understand why this process would only work for one of my files. They are all from the same provider and the licenses were acquired the same day.

Before I dragged and dropped the WMA files onto freeme I confirmed that the DRM2.key file contained 4 unique KID/SID entries
