I just canceled my Amazon Prime membership, something I was almost afraid of. Phew, it's nice to have that off my back.

I've been shopping less and less at Amazon anyway and barely used prime video, so I'll probably won't even notice the difference.

Would yt-dlp work?

I wonder if it can allow you to login to your account and access the films that way?

[–] bruce965@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago (6 children)

Amazon Prime, like Netflix, unlike YouTube (for now), uses DRM to protect videos. It would be very difficult to download them, and yt-dlp definitely doesn't even try to bypass DRM.

Can you record the screen while watching them?

[–] bruce965@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

I think so, but only on some devices. As far as I understand, you can only play in high resolution on devices which support stronger hardware DRM. On those devices recording the screen might be harder/impossible.

I never tested this theory though, so please do not quote me on this.
