It's a shame, it seems there's still no solution for this DRM issue. I even used an automated script to make the download of new episodes automatic haha. I hope the developers can find a workaround for this problem. I would even pay a reasonable amount (within my budget) monthly to keep this tool functional. I use StreamFab, but it doesn't compare to our beloved crunchy-cli. The real charm is in automation, and crunchy-cli is a thousand times more powerful. I'm eagerly awaiting an update that can bypass this issue.
I had my previous automated script working with yt-dlp. I just fixed mine yesterday and got back to work. It now uses 2 tools combined (because I'm lazy and the new tool is a nightmare to parse as it is but works as a charm for download and it is faster). I just changed my script to get the episode id instead of links as the new tool like a lot of that. I have opened an issue there for the dev to make CR API json dump to file (as it is easear and faster to make than console output) for now. This will make automation possible again using only one tool.
What is the new tool? It was discussed in this topic. Go read a bit.

Technically solutions are there. I have local code changes which is able to decrypt DRM (with the download
command), but unfortunately I'm not allowed to distribute them legally.
Sony owns Crunchyroll and Sony has a history of aggressively DMCA'ing projects and sending cease-and-desist letters. I might take the risk of a DMCA takedown, but I do not have the financial resources to pay a cease-and-desist letter (besides other legal trouble which might come along with it).
I use StreamFab [...]
StreamFab operates from China and Sony can't do anything against them. Sadly I doesn't reside in China (or any other country in which Sony can't take down the project) :p

Maybe we find someone from China who wants to provide a fork with the DRM code? jk :P

use alternatives methods to share it like TG or self-hosted solutions, just to not waste all the time on this project
There won't be any further development. See #362
Well a DRM-free endpoint was discovered, until this closes down development (or at least maintaining) will continue. See https://github.com/crunchy-labs/crunchy-cli/issues/362#issuecomment-2034838294.
v3.3.2 works again.
When I try to download an episode, I get the following error:
It was working fine a few days ago.
