Posted: 07:49 - 29 Dec 2021 Post subject: HDCP Bypass (NOT for illegal copying) |
|
|
Hi guys, hoping someone in here can help?
I'm currently using OBS to capture some content off certain streaming services on the PC to make some videos with Shotcut (random short videos of some of my favourite scenes from TV shows and movies, montages, silly video memes to send to friends on WhatsApp, tutorials and random stuff to upload to YouTube etc.).
Works great in most cases.
However when it comes to trying to capture stuff off of certain streaming services it gets a bit quirky.
If I load Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video (basically anything web browser based) all I get is a black screen when using Chrome.
Although it will record the audio, I just get a black box where the video should be.
However using Firefox does allow me to capture the video as well, so that's what I've been doing when I need to capture from these sources.
So clearly there must be something in Firefox that is blocking the HDCP and allowing the content to be played while it's being captured that isn't the case in Chrome???
However some streaming services (like Now TV for example) use their own program to view the content through, rather than using a web browser. These programs block the video the same as Chrome so there's currently no way for me to capture the video from these sources.
I have been thinking of getting a capture card to bypass this however having viewed the following video I'm not sure this will solve my problem on its own:

Looks like getting a capture card on its own would not be able to bypass the HDCP?
Looking at the following video, looks like I need an HDMI splitter in order to bypass the HDCP:

However, shopping for a splitter I'm somewhat confused!
Some are active, some are not.
Some say they are switches, others say the are splitters.
Some say the are reversible, some are not.
Some are HDMI 2.1, some are 2.0, some are 1.4.
Some are HDCP 2.1, some are unspecified.
Some say they bypass HDCP, some say the do not, some do not specify.
Some are £5, others are over £100.
Can anyone help?
Am I on the right track to the simplest and most cost effective way to capture HDCP content?
If so, what exactly do I need to be looking for in a splitter.
Also, looking towards the capture card, I'm looking at getting an Elgato 4K60 Pro but not sure if this would be overkill for my usecase?
To be clear, I AM NOT LOOKING TO REPRODUCE COMPLETE MOVIES OR TV EPISODES or do anything illegal. I simply want to capture and record short bursts from streaming services to make very short videos of montages/highlights/memes etc.
Thanks in advance! ____________________ 2007 Yamaha FZ1 S Fazer
