How can the web players read the videos if they are encrypted? I’m guessing by definition they need the keys to do so thus would it not be possible for ytdlp to also support this when the encrypted video implementation is fully rolled out?


I think they use a special hardware DRM chip which is capable of decrypting the videos on the TV, which all TV manufacturers will happily provide, it is made in a way the keys are not easy to extract.
