Anyone know how to use the video downlink from DJI drones without the rest of the system?

If there is a forum out there for hacking DJI's stuff, I haven't found it yet.

On older DJI Phantom drones you could ssh into the drone and pump the video into ffmpeg or wherever. I think they became more proprietary and locked down so I don't know how easy this is to do nowadays.

What do you mean? On the one hand DJI sell their downlinks separately (Lightbridge and DJI FPV) as standalone products. On the other hand there's a decent modding community for DJI gear:
