AES-128Lesson 01 — Orientation
This stream is encrypted — course sites and members-only platforms often do this. It still plays, and Clipmoth can still save it.

LESSON 4 — MEMBERS-ONLY & COURSE SITES
Encrypted HLS: Clipmoth decrypts while saving
- Play the course video (it's AES-128 encrypted).
- The popup shows an HLS entry — same as lesson 2.
- Save it. Clipmoth fetches the key, decrypts every chunk, and writes one clean playable file.
Expected item: HLS
Decryption: automatic
DRM (Widevine etc.) is NOT this — see the guide
AES-128 encryption (a shared key the player downloads) is not the same as DRM (hardware-locked). Clipmoth handles the former and honestly refuses the latter.
🎓 That's all four lessons!
You've now seen how the majority of the web delivers video and audio. Check the guide to see how real sites map onto these four patterns.
