Description
DRM protected videos cannot be played in FreeTube as that requires the proprietary, closed source Widevine CDM and a VMP signed build of Electron, both things which are understandably not included in the standard open source Electron builds. This pull request adds support for FreeTube to detect such videos and show a user friendly message (instead of it attempting and failing to play the DRM protected content).
Unfortunately the movie trailers are unlisted videos, so we can't just find the trailer some other way if it isn't included in the API response like they are for movies that are not free with ads.
