||
$ ./audible-activator.py -h

|
||
-h, --help show this help message and exit
|
||
-d, --debug run program in debug mode, enable this for 2FA enabled
|
||
accounts or for authentication debugging
|
||
-l LANG, --lang=LANG us (default) / de / fr
|
||
-p PLAYER_ID Player ID in hex (for debugging, not for end users)
|
||
...
|
||
|
||
$ ./audible-activator.py
|
||
<enter username and password>
|
||
|
||
$ ./audible-activator.py -l de # for "de" users
|
||
<enter username and password>
|
||
|
||
$ mpv --demuxer-lavf-o=activation_bytes=CAFED00D sample.aax
|
||
|
||
$ ffplay -activation_bytes CAFED00D sample.aax
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Quick Setup
|
||
|
||
Python 2 is required along with Selenium, Requests, ChromeDriver, and Google
|
||
Chrome.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
pip install requests # use "easy_install" if pip is missing
|
||
|
||
pip install selenium
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Download and extract the correct ChromeDriver zip file [from
|
||
here](https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads) to this
|
||
folder.
|
||
|
||
Download Google Chrome from https://www.google.com/chrome/ and install it on
|
||
your computer.
|
||
|
||
Ryan reports that the 32-bit Mac ChromeDriver works fine under a 64-bit Mac
|
||
environment.
|
||
|
||
## Anti-Piracy Notice
|
||
|
||
Note that this project does NOT 'crack' the DRM. It simplys allows the user to
|
||
use their own encryption key (fetched from Audible servers) to decrypt the
|
||
audiobook in the same manner that the official audiobook playing software does.
|
||
|
||
Please only use this application for gaining full access to your own audiobooks
|
||
for archiving/converson/convenience. DeDRMed audiobooks should not be uploaded
|
||
to open servers, torrents, or other methods of mass distribution. No help will
|
||
be given to people doing such things. Authors, retailers, and publishers all
|
||
need to make a living, so that they can continue to produce audiobooks for us to
|
||
hear, and enjoy. Don’t be a parasite.

||
## Debugging Tips
|
||
|
||
* If you see an error message like "audible_error=Internal service error has
|
||
occured while processing the request, please contact service admin" during the
|
||
activation process, then contact Audible customer care and they will clear up
|
||
your activation slots (there are 8 such slots).
|
||
|
||
* If you see an "activation loop" in the official software (e.g. Audible Download
|
||
Manager), then you are seeing the same exact problem (you activation slots are
|
||
all used up).
|
||
|
||
* Too many authentication attempts result in a temporary 30 minutes ban!
|
||
|
||
* Use the following command to extract the SHA1 checksum from .aax files.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ ffprobe test.aax # extract SHA1 checksum
|
||
...
|
||
...
|
||
[mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0x1dde580] [aax] file checksum == 999a6a...
|
||
[mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0x1dde580] [aax] activation_bytes option is missing!
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
* In case of login problems use the `./audible-activator.py -d` command to run
|
||
the program in debugging mode and to login manually.
|
||
|
||
* This program is pretty short and easy to debug. I cannot provide end-user
|
||
support but I would be very happy to accept patches.
|
||
|
||
* If this program does not work for you and all the debugging steps fail, then
|
||
use the https://github.com/inAudible-NG/tables project to recover your
|
||
"activation_bytes" in an offline manner. The good news is that you need to
|
||
retrieve your "activation_bytes" only once.
|
||
|
||
* Running `wine AudibleGeneratePCPlayerID.exe` multiple times under Linux can
|
||
result in different outputs (different Player ID values). To get stable output
|
||
run `wine AudibleGeneratePCPlayerID.exe` after running the "Audible Manager"
|
||
program (Manager.exe) under Wine once.
|
||
|
||
## Notes
|
||
|
||
* It is possible to extract the "activation_bytes" from an existing
|
||
'AudibleActivation.sys' file.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ ./AAS-parser.py AudibleActivation.sys
|
||
CAFED00D
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can grab the 'AudibleActivation.sys' file from various already-activated
|
||
devices like Android phones, and Sansa music players.
|
||
|
||
* If you have an Audible username (not an email address), please help in
|
||
testing and fixing this program.
|
||
|
||
* ``xhost local:root``
