AES-128Lesson 01 — Orientation
This stream is encrypted, as course sites and members-only platforms often do. 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 playable file.
Expected item: HLS
Decryption: automatic
DRM (Widevine etc.) is different: 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 refuses the latter.
That's all four lessons.
These four patterns cover how most of the web delivers video and audio. The guide shows which pattern real sites use.
