Using OpenSSL to decrypt a .ts file

Question

Everything is in the same directory.

M3u8 File:

MyKeyFile.Key

tßâ0Äb‘˜p.ô[{m‚

I know the content is legit because if I right click on the .m3u8 and select "Play with VLC media player" it works. I need to decrypt the ts files so I can use ffprobe and inspect the content.

Here is the OpenSSL command I've tried:

openssl aes-128-cbc -d -kfile MyKeyFile.key -iv 0 -nosalt -in aes_ts_files/filesequence0000000.ts -out aes_ts_files/filesequence0000000_out.ts

Answer 1

-kfile is used to derive the key from a password stored in the first line of the file.

You already have the actual key so you need to pass it using -K key where key is the key in hex (xxd -p MyKeyFile.key).

The IV is also a hex string and it's equal to the media sequence if not specified.
