Vineless

  • A browser extension to play DRM-protected content without a real CDM
  • Works by redirecting the content keys to the browser's ClearKey handler

Features

  • User-friendly / GUI-based
  • Supports Widevine and PlayReady-protected content
  • Manifest V3 compliant

Devices

  • This addon requires a Widevine/PlayReady Device file to work. Don't ask me where to get those.

Compatibility

  • Compatible (tested) browsers: Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Marble, and Supermium on Windows
  • Works with any service that accepts challenges from Android devices on the same endpoint.
  • Incompatible services:
    • Netflix (unless a browser/PC device is provided, which is rare)
  • Some services may detect your browser and interfere with PlayReady playback. Try using a user-agent changer extension, or use a Chromium-based browser for PlayReady playback.
  • Incompatible extensions:
    • WidevineProxy2, or anything similar
    • PlayreadyProxy2, or anything similar
    • EME Call and Event Logger (extension, not the userscript)
    • For Vineless to work, these extensions must be fully disabled in the browser's extensions page

Installation

  • Chrome
    1. Download the ZIP file from the releases section
    2. Navigate to chrome://extensions/
    3. Enable Developer mode
    4. Drag-and-drop the downloaded file into the window
  • Firefox
    • Persistent installation
      1. Download the XPI file from the releases section
      2. Navigate to about:addons
      3. Click the settings icon and choose Install Add-on From File...
      4. Select the downloaded file
    • Temporary installation
      1. Download the ZIP file from the releases section
      2. Navigate to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox
      3. Click Load Temporary Add-on... and select the downloaded file

Setup

  • Open the extension and click one of the Choose File buttons to select device files
  • Select the type of device you're using in the top Systems section
  • The files are saved in the extension's chrome.storage.sync storage and will be synchronized across any browsers into which the user is signed in with their Google account.
  • The maximum number of devices is ~25 Local OR ~200 Remote CDMs
  • Check Enabled to activate the message interception and you're done.

Usage

All the user has to do is to play a DRM protected video. With everything set up properly, videos will start to play even without a supported DRM system.

FAQ

What if I'm unable to play the video?

  • First, check if the service accepts your device (CDM).
    • For Widevine, use either WidevineProxy2 or openwv with the same WVD file.
    • For PlayReady, use PlayreadyProxy2 with the same PRD file.
    • Do note that WidevineProxy2 and PlayreadyProxy2 do not support playback, so just test if you can acquire the keys with them. Also, fully disable Vineless before testing those two.
  • If those aren't working as well, this automatically means that the license server is blocking your CDM and that you either need a CDM from a physical device, a ChromeCDM, or an L1 Android CDM. Don't ask where you can get these.
  • If those are working but Vineless isn't working, please report this on the issues page. Please include the DevTools console logs as well, and make sure the verbose/debug logs are enabled.
