Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media .WMA audio fiI would be grateful for any help with adding wmv support and fixing some wma bugs.
|
Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media .WMA audio fiI have implemented basic wmv support. It is still not able to decrypt all the packets, but mplayer is able to play decrypted files. http://rapidshare.com/files/56996900/FreeMe2.zip.html

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media .WMA audio fihttp://rapidshare.com/files/57117941/FreeMe2.zip.html
It should now work with wmv files (most of them don't play in WMP use another player instead). |
Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media .WMA audio fiUnfortunately, and no criticism meant, I fear that you are playing Henery Hawk in this episode. No matter what help Foghorn can offer, you still need to carry home a big bird...
Replacing drmdbg/drm2wmv or fairuse4wm is a labor intensive task. I believe that any use of freeme's asf code is certifiable. Best to start with the spec - and then realize how many files violate that spec. If you remove the drm sections, you will break indexing. Either rewrite the index tables, or overwrite the drm sections with a nop tag. You haven't internalized the complexity of extracting licenses from the new drmstore.hds database. The freeme code for getting licenses only worked for WM9! I believe fu4wm used undocumented calls into a microsoft sdk for this. drmdbg doesn't query licenses - it tries to get the media key (aka SID) from WM's memory, which is significantly more challenging under vista. Finally, and most challenging, is the cat & rodent game of finding the gooey goodness of keybits hidden in a mutating, self-encrypted maze. The freeme proof of concept was a lesson to microsoft, as was the initial fu4wm hack (details of which may not be public yet?). The last fu4wm version and the mirakagi follow-on used a highly fragile method that involved disassembling automatic-variable initializers and brute forcing the mutation parameters (the attempts displayed in the text box). It would delight me to see an open source solution, but the odds are stacked against you. I suspect you'll lose interest rather than seeing it through to the lawsuit and extradiction attempts. If you think I'm wrong ... you are welcome to contact me. |

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media .WMA audio fithanks for creating freeme2!
i remember using freeme when it came out :) i havent had time to test your program, most of the sites i visited have switched over to flv and abandoned microsoft drm... there is some wmv info here http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=WMV feel free to add any info you want to the multimedia wiki! |
Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media .WMA audio fiHey, when I try to run freeme2, this is what I get:
Code:
Found DRMv2 header object. |
Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media .WMA audio fiTell me what is the size of your drmv2.lic file. But I think this is not the problem. The real reason is that Vista has many bugs :) One of them is that it doesn't allow some files (i.e. FreeMe2) to allocate as much memory as they want :). You may try uninstalling Vista and FreeMe2 should work.
|
Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media .WMA audio fiI've scanned the directory and it says that there is no drmv2.lic file which is weird...It must be a memory issue, not sure how to change that.
I can't uninstall Vista that's not going to work unfortunately. |
Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media .WMA audio fiQuote:
There are many sites that explain how to uninstall vista in any conditions. I just can't understand people who use Vista... Why use system which doesn't work correctly and doesn't support most of the apps? You may read the following thread for more Should I use Windows Vista or uninstall it? |
Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media .WMA audio fiI just wanted to inform on this forum that FreeMe2 can now be consider as beta since it is proved to work by many testers and it's even confirmed that it is able to handle some files that FU4WM isn't.

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media .WMA audio fiHi guys,
I've managed to get to a point where the process starts, but it hangs on 0% when I do it the command style way. Here's my output: C:\test>FreeMe2 "videofile.wmv" Enter SID for this file: 2onZFmFOErCZVCvUzUlZBA8mvQVI | | 0% C:\test> Very weird. I've tried it with the drmdbg generated keyfile. I renamed it to drm2.key, put it in the videofile's directory. Then I drag the videofile on the FreeMe2 icon (which is in the same dir), then it says: Wrong size of SID! Press <ENTER> to acknowledge error. (when I press enter the cmdline closes, so no error log :p) The drm2.key file looks like this: <DRM2WMV2> <KID>EZV2nU0hokdJFmOgZx0p5Ftb</KID> <SID>2onZFmFOErCZVCvUzUlZBA8mvQVI</SID> <INFO></INFO> </DRM2WMV2> Can anyone help me? Thanks! |
Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media .WMA audio fiI've got the same message like "Wrong size of SID!". :(
I got SID from drmdbg20071003, and my freeme2 version is FreeMe2_101307.zip |
Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media .WMA audio fiAnyone, please?
|
Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media .WMA audio fiMine accepts the SID but after getting to 100% gives error:
Unknown packet id - don't know what to do! |

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media .WMA audio fiToday I have finished testing new (mplayers code based) "engine" for decrypting files. It is now used as default in FreeMe2. Please compile the code and test it. If you will find any file that doesn't work now with FreeMe2 please upload it to rapidshare and PM link to me. Marry Christmas.

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media .WMA audio fiYou may have fixed this and are getting ready to release a version with the fix. I saw in one of the doom9 threads where on Jan 3 2008 you said you were prepping a new binary release. But just in case...
The issue mentioned here where there is no "drmv2.lic" file in the registry-specified location ("C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM" on Vista) is, I believe, causing the issue mentioned over on doom9, "Couldn't allocate space for license file!". Because the file doesn't exist, the fseek / ftell calls that figure out how much space to allocate are probably returning -1, which when viewed as an unsigned int is 2^32 (4GB). That memory allocation will obviously fail. Should probably check if the file exists before opening and seeking. What I don't know nearly enough to answer is why an expected "drmv2.lic" file isn't in that directory. There *is* a drmv1.lic file. Don't know what that means. [EDIT] There is a "drmv1.key" file in that folder. There are *no* .lic files in there at all. FWIW... Donnie Quote:

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media .WMA audio fidoes the freeme2 work if you do not have the license at all ?
or is that related to the error I get "This file is version 1 protected, not version 2" thanks |

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media .WMA audio fiOk i know i have never posted on this thread before, but i figured i should tell people. As of about 5 hours ago i started writing a program in c# that runs freeme2 in a batch, it will search in sub directories. I only have a little bit done, but so far its looking good. It has worked for over 100 files in batch for me, but you have to be kind of specific right now it also doesnt rename files... you know that freed thing. so i am gonna wait a little longer till i have a few working options before the first release(i also want to add integrated use of drmdbg, but right now thats not really needed cuz that program is so easy to use) sorry i got nothing now haha will be up in a week or so.

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media .WMA audio fiThanks for creating freeme2. We really appreciate it. =)

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media .WMA audio fiHi I'm having a little trouble with drmdbg. I run drmdbg.exe (tried 2008.01.01 and 2007.12.25) point the WMVDIR to where my media is and leave DRMDIR on the default folder & I keep ticked MAKE DRM2 DIR and SubDirScan. When I hit multiscan, all it does it open the video in WMP and play. Am I supposed to let the video play all the way through or what? No files/folders are created containing the decrypted keys, where am i going wrong?
If I try using FreeMe2 without finding the key from drmdbg is says: "Enter IBX Private key or hit enter *Enter* Decrypted content key is to big! Enter SID for this file:" How can I find the SID? Cheers |

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media .WMA audio fiI haven't downloaded the version from the thread because sharebee.com is down for me but I am running the latest of each I believe.

Do you have use multiple music download/subscription services? There was a thread about inability to use lossless DRM removal software when using both Ruckus and Yahoo! Music Unlimited. |
Re:freeme2-free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF fileNope, I'm using BBC iPlayer.
I've just realised that the title of this thread is about music... will it not work with video files? Oops. |
Re: freeme2-free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF filQuote:
BBC iPlayer offers Windows Media DRM protected content, so you can try freeme2 or FairUse4WM. The problem might be caused by the following: you either use at least two services that offer DRM protected content or lossless DRM removal software just doesn't work well on Windows Vista. Please note: You should only remove DRM protection from legally purchased files. Please do not abuse rental licenses. |

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF fI managed to downgrade my license to 11.0.57xx.xxxx and so I was able to unprotect the file using FairUse4WM.
I already got the last version from today (08-Feb-2008) of freeme2 but my problem was really with drmdbg! Thanks guys! |
Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF fI have a problem. I have an .asf video stream file recorded with DRM v11.0.6000.7000 and upon reading a few posts in these forums, I found the correct versions of drmbg and freeme2 and figured out how to use them. then my drmbg found the SID. This is what happens. It automatically finds the DRM key itself when I start the program. When I click on Multi Scan button, windows media player opens, and the program finds the SID, but WMP can not play the file, freezes and restarts itself..
Anyway, I have the SID already.. So I go to Freeme2 and it frees the file into a new Freedwhatever.asf But this new free .asf file is extremely corrupt that you can't watch it. How do I solve this? I have Vista Home Basic (or Premium, not quite sure) SP2 |

I have downloaded drmdbg from http://www.sendspace.com/file/67h67o suggested on http://stream-recorder.com/forum/dow...59.html?t=1959 I have opened drmdbg like on http://www.maciejrek.republika.pl and click on the MultiScan button. Then automatically opened the Windows Media Player and video file played. I have downloaded FreeMe2 from http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...roup_id=205801 suggested on http://undrm.info/remove-DRM-protect...-WMA-files.htm I opened the CMD like on http://www.maciejrek.republika.pl/ and where does "IBX private key" come from?
