OK. I have read this.
I know my IBX version. It is 11.0.6000.7000.
Like on http://www.maciejrek.republika.pl/wersja.JPG
But where is tthe private key? Is it the same number?
I have to enter "IBX private key" like on

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

Thank for your fast answer.
Yes. I read it and did it.
When I have draged the DRM-protected file onto "FreeMe2.bat", and then pasted SID there appeared error
like on pictures
"Error occured with application FreeMe2.exe and will be closed. We apologize for problem. "

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

I wrote this little GUI tool cause I was sick and tired of having to do everything by hand for freeme2 + drmdbg. This completely automates the process. Works for me with the following setup:
Windows XP SP2
WMP 11.0.5721.5230
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....

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

First I have to write I have video file like I wrote on
http://stream-recorder.com/forum/sho...8&postcount=40

Thank you for a new application.
I did what you wrote. unDRM.NET hung up.
Then I have to unmark "drmdbg->Hide window"
to take the "Multi scan" in freeme2.
And marked "Freeme2->Verbose output" .
There appeared alert
---
"unDRM.NET"
Click OK only when you hear music playing.
---
So I heard music and saw film. I clicked OK and appeared alert "Done!"
But I dont'n know where is the unprotected video file.

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

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.

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

Updated my Original Post with new releases. General options work. unDRM.Net reads the list of files that drmdbg got license keys for and feeds that to freeme2, so it should work with any file that drmdbg can get a license key for. If you click "unDRM!" and it launches drmdbg but then seems to hang, it's waiting for Windows Media Player to open, need to implement a better/safer way to do that. If it never opens, unDRM.Net will just sit there. You can safely kill it by Right-Clicking on its taskbar entry and selecting close. Kill drmdbg too and try again. Usually doesn't happen twice in a row. Try turning of "Hide drmdbg window" too ;)

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

tresni, I hope you can help me.

I am working through various issues, and your advice and software have been very helpful so far... But now I've hit a brick wall.

I get this error in freeme2:

"No ENABLINGBITS element in license! Press <ENTER> to acknowledge error."

Because I am using VISTA I also am stuck with Windows Media Player 11 (latest version). I would guess this error has something to do with the format of the license used by Windows Media Player 11.

Sectroyer's response to someone else in the Doom9 forum is:

"Try running it in console mode with -s"

...but this does not help me.

I can't be the only frustrated VISTA/WMP11 user trying to get this to work! If I want to do this in WindowsXP then I might as well use Fairuse4wm! Is there an update you can make for us VISTA/WMP11 users?
Thanks,
Allan

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

In fact. At the first time I had to kill drmdbg.exe and unDRM.NET.
At the second time it started.
In unDRM.NET "drmdbg->Hide window" was marked
and "Freeme2->Verbose output" was unmarked.
I heard music and saw film correctly.
I clicked OK and appeared alert unDRM.NET Finished
like http://www.maciejrek.republika.pl/unDRMNETFinished.JPG
New WMV file was created, but there is not to see.
This is a part of this unprotected file:

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

Are you getting that error using unDRM.Net? I get that whenever the KID/SID aren't in the DRM2.key. -s solves it for me. But I'm running XP, not Vista. Sorry, not much more help, didn't do any programming on freeme2 or drmdbg, just wrote a tool to make using them easier. So as to an update for Vista/WMP11, I can't help ya there, if freeme2 isn't working for you then unDRM.Net won't be able to change that.


Sounds like freeme2 doesn't like your file, sorry can't help ya there. unDRM.Net doesn't do anything but automate the process.

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

Yes I am running unDRM. Is there something I can do when running unDRM that will pass the -s parameter to freeme2? I think this will solve my problem. Thanks for your help.

Allan:)

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

Yes. I know. When I use it manually without options
"freeme2 od11.wmv" it makes the same file, the same size.
Like on the picture
http://www.maciejrek.republika.pl/recznie.JPG
I think there is some problem with drmdbg, because it generates
KID and SID, but FreeMe2 needs IBX.
When I put KID in place "IBX private key" it writes
"Decrypted content key is too long!"
So, there is some problem with IBX key, I thing.
I would like to know where is the "IBX private key".
May be someone know where can I find suitable the IBX key.

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

No, as that would take out the automatic processing.. Are you sure that the KID/SID are being generated and put into the DRM2.key file?

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

How do I know that?

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

None of this crap works with Windows Vista and the latest Windows Media Player!!!! Period!!!

I wish that one of you guys reading this with superior talents would develop an end-to-end solution (like Tresni did) but it works with Windows Vista and the latest Windows Media Player!!!!

And test it first using Windows Vista and the latest Windows Media Player - - before driving the rest of us crazy with half-baked solutions that are totally useless!!!

I challenge you!!!


(sound frustrated don't I?)

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

BTW, the source of the problem is DRMDBG. It seems unable to find the SID. I ran DRMDBG by ITSELF and it never fills in the bottom box with the SID. :mad: :eek:

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

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?

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

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

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

Sometimes when you go to Media Usage Rights, the song doesn't switch, and the box in drmdbg does not fill in.

How to fix this:
if you move the song it gets stuck on out of the DRM2 folder, and into the DRM_Removal folder (next to drmdbg.exe), and hit MultiScan, then it should to work

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

my file plays fine in media player. I have tried the trick to go to properties but media player doesn't freeze and the sid never populates. Running windows vista home premium and content in question is zune content.

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

Hey tresni,

I was having some problems with your GUI. Since you made the source available, I took the liberty of checking it out.

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.

I'll test the republished program again and see if I continue having problems.

Thank you so much for this program...

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

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 ;)

That's the joy of shared/open source :D

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.

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

Solution:
I re-downloaded the file that had the problem, and this time, it worked!

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

I hard coded the path. But you're right, it would be better to give the option to the user, as I know Vista ( :eek: ) has the file under a different path. What would be really cool would be to know how drmbg gets the SID info, this way everything could be integrated into your GUI.

If I had the time (meaning, if I wasn't so addicted to TV :D ), I'd help you redesign your GUI so that the user could select individual files to be stripped; hence the reason I would like to know exactly how drmbg works, it seems a little superflous to have a GUI for a GUI for another program that does the work... With that said, I'm not a C# guy (more of the VB coder myself ;) ), however, whatever assitance I can lend, let me know.

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

So I having a bit of an issue removing DRM from Rhapsody tracks. Below is the versions of everything that I have.

XP Pro SP2
Rhapsody 4.0
WM 11.0.5721.5230
IBX 11.0.6000.6324
drmdbg 12.25.2007 and 1.1.2008

When I go through the process of running drmdbg, it finds the IBX key and then launches WM. I click on the MultiScan button the following errors happen.

ReadProcessMemory_error
WriteProcessMemory_error

I also do not get the expected drm2.key file. I'm guessing that it has to do with the above errors.


My question to everyone.

1) Is there anyway I can force IBX to upgrade to 11.0.6000.7000?

2) Is there a version of drmdbg that is compatible with 11.0.6000.6324?

3) Am I SOL since I'm using Rhaposdy?

4) What else am I missing?


I really appreciate it.

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

1) HowTo Instructions on using Freeme2. Read this post, the first step talks about upgrading the security feature, which will get you the necessary IBX version.

2.) Don't know. Obviously older versions would; however, if you follow the instructions in the forum above, you won't need to worry about that.

3.) A protected WMA is a protected WMA. Freeme2 should not have issues with it.

4.) The drm2.key is probably in a subfolder called DRM2 or something to that effect. You might need to change the file name to drm2.key. While running drmdbg, uncheck the "Create Subfolder" option; this will put the necessary file in the correct folder.

Hope this helps you a little...

:D

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

Sorry, but your advice did not solve the problem!

As far as WMP11 used v11.0.6000.7000 drmdbg for this version worked perfect!
But actually it WMP11 uses v11.0.6000.6324 because the wmv, downloaded from a online video provider today, requires this version and drmdbg does not extract the key anymore. Even with an older verison, desinged for v11.0.6000.6324 says it would be unable to get the key.

There might be a strange renewed system.

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

Hi, I guess the problem is that not every system is english, therefore it would be better to be able to select the destination if the IndivBoxkey.
Seems like that is causing the problem.
Thanks for putting all this work into the GUI.

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

What's strange is a video provider requiring an older version of a security feature, and the newer not being backwards compatible...:confused: The provider specifically states the version required for the wmv file?

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

Sorry, my mistake! The provider requires the v11.0.6000.6324!
But this version comes to system as soon as I delete the DRM folder in WinXP and click: http://services.wmdrm.windowsmedia.c...en/indivit.asp .
I am not sure if this is the providers blame or just a renewal of Microsoft?
As I said, an older version for drmdbg does not the job. What's wrong?

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

Johnny,

Clicking on the aformentioned link should install the 11.x.7000 IBX version... Rename the DRM folder "DRMOld" or something, don't delete it. Go back to the indivit site again and click on Upgrade. Restart your computer and check the DRM folder again. If it is still the older version, it could be your XP version is not fully updated; I'm just spit balling on that one.

As far as the provider is concerned, the IBX version may be a minimum requirement. Again, it makes no sense that the older version is the only one with which their movie will work. Which provider is it?

Your issue intrigues me, and I'd like to find a fix for it... :cool:

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

carlos1014,

I did all the steps you advised me. But DRM stays v11.0.6000.6324! This might not be an issue of the wmv-provider but rather of Microsoft. A friend of mine using Vista 64bit has the same version now. All possible updates were installed, too.
Please also try this update! Delete/Rename your DRM folder and reinstall it.

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

Johnny,

I'm sorry the new version is not installing. Unless someone in this forum knows how to fix it, it sounds like something in your registry is not quite right. The InvivBox.key file, after all, is a registry file...

I tried going on Microsoft's website, but that did not get me anywhere. Try googling for the problem. I'll do the same and get back to you if I find something useful.

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

Found an interesting bit of info... What version Media Player are you running again?

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

My WMP is version 11.0.5721.5230. The WMP of my Vista-friend is something like 7000 in the end. We live in Germany. Maybe the version differs from yours.
One month ago, the DRM was the right version. But now WMP updates (down) with this link to the ...6324 even without playing any wmv-file.
Did you try this update link, too? Do you get the right DRM?

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

I have the same WMP version as you, however, I have the new DRM version... This is very odd... The info I found stated the DRM version was tied to the WMP version... It would follow that since you have the latest WMP that you should have the latest DRM...

I wish I could give you my Indivbox file and put an end to this, but alas it would not work... It could be that you don't have media that requires the new version. When was the last time you purchased media?

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

This month was the last time.
Could you rename your DRM folder, update your DRM and upload this new folder somewhere? I hope you have WinXP Prof.? Maybe WMP will accept this replaced folder and thats it.

Thank you.

PS: Other members in this forum reported the same problem. So your upload could help, but does not solve the problem directly.

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

Uploading DRM folder won't help. Each system is individialized i.e. is made unique.

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

 

I have a DRM Protected file.

I have Windows XP Professionnal with the Version V11.0.6000.7000

I downloaded drmdbg 2007/12/25 and put my Wmv file in the drgdbg file, I validate the licence

Not problem with it : v11.0.6000.7000 was displayed in the box beside "Multiscan"
I pressed : MutiScan and got :

<DRM2WMV2>
<KID>Au2CnAesm7t9AMHSimzhvA==</KID>
<SID>QomJYKJSHREjYELM2We5DhJWXGs=</SID>
<INFO></INFO>
</DRM2WMV2>

the DRM2.key also appears in the directory


I downloaded FreeMe2 and put it in the same file and it gave me this message :

Usage: FreeM2 [-vs2] protectedfile
Press <ENTER> to acknoledge error

What should I do next ?

Many thanks in advance for your help
