If VLC doesn't work (and it probably won't due to the DRM) then the
easiest option is to use MakeMkv.  This allows you to either rip the
video to an mkv file (legality depends on your jurisdiction), or to
stream the video which you should then be able to play in VLC or XMBC
or similar.

There's an OBS repo with it at [1], and you'll need a free beta key
from [2] every month.
