I’ve encountered the same sort of issue with videos on YouTube many times. Yes creators (over 500k subscribers), brands, corporations and artists (musicians and actors), have the option of having their videos protected from being shared (I.e. downloaded, recorded) via their settings. Creators don’t seem to care because they want the subscribers and feel it’s free advertising. Screen recording seems it’s the only way it’ll work for the Xmas Special. I’m really hoping someone will record it because I’ve been up all day and night and am starting to fall asleep :(

This is the first time I hear that YouTube has some sort of protection/encryption.

I managed with streamlink (yesterday it didn't want to start VLC, today somehow it works):) Even if it doesn't work with ayu's concert it's a useful knowledge so it was nice to learn sth new :)
EDIT
Tried to stream Dreamed a Dream with streamlink from ayu's channel and got this:
error: This plugin does not support protected videos, try youtube-dl instead

I just quit the terminal app and it stopped. It also stops by itself when the stream stops

I see, thank you!

They sent the people who had tickets a special wallpaper. They asked us since it was a gift to the people who purchased tickets to not share it on social media. It has her autograph on it, it’s a nice gesture :)

It's 11 am here in Germany, perfect morning :D

I really hope someone at least captures the audio because this version of M is Amazing!!

I feel that. Perfect start into the Christmas Eve.

I'm so happy we get to see this! :heart

She sounds really good! Bit off-key during Momentum, but so far so good!!

Oh she’s struggling :(

M sounded good but you can hear that she’s tired haha. (I mean she’s with child after all)

Is somebody capturing through streamlink? My Internet speed doesn't allow to do it properly, only chunks are being saved.

She's doing really well for the most part.
