I just want to control the viewing experience, not hoard warez. Effortless rewind, skip filler (car chases, sex), play at x1.25 speed, etc. aka the "Blu-Ray experience". If that means I gotta bypass the DRM and download, so be it. -- Some shows have my complete rapt attention. I'll keenly watch (and rewatch) every single frame. Like Netflix's Maniac. OMG. So frikkin good. (So many other examples.) Other shows, especi…

FYI There is a great chrome extension that allows you to control playback speed, and it works on just about every video site.

I'm interested. Link? I'll mosdef try it.

For whatever I reason, I have to use Firefox to watch Disney+. (Mac Safari will always eventually ABEND. Shouldn't Apple regression test Safari on the Top X most popular sites?!)

As for spotty rewind, like with Netflix, another comment might have the explanation (root cause); streams are broken into individually encrypted chunks. So of course there's lag (latency) when jumping around the timeline.

This is one of those github repositories that you just clone and move on. Don't fork, just clone to your local system. When it gets taken down the forks will disappear, whereas the clones will not. You can also just download a zip file. https://github.com/widevinedump?tab=repositories

#!/usr/bin/env bash API_URL="https://api.github.com/users/widevinedump/repos" for url in $(curl -s $API_URL | jq -r '.[].html_url') do echo "Cloning: $url" git clone $url done

Thanks

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Does this mean if I have a lenovo tablet that currently streams 4K, that it will lose 4K video support? Could I ask Lenovo for a refund?

I would think so (the repo suggests this is a Lenovo TB-X505X key, I'd imagine they're at least per-product). I could certainly be be wrong about L1 keys being burned-in, that was just my understanding of it (vendor docs say things like "Hardware DRM", but maybe I'm jumping to conclusions from marketing speak) The Widevine spec doesn't say either, it just says that all processing is within the Trusted Execution Envir…

TEE is an environment with hardware backed attestation, you run a piece of software in the "black box" to do things like key generation etc.

My educated guess, having used TEE/TrustZone for keys is that they could update the payload (the "Trusted Executable") with a new one to resolve the issue.

the videos look interesting but i am on linux and this looks windows only. also, i need some background knowledge to get this working so i could not retry. a good attempt imo. if i had the time and the necessary technical competency, i would've loved to jump into it. for many years piratebay was my default homepage. now, lookmovie or vumoo gets my occasional streaming fix

I imagine it's windows only because widevine on Linux is crippled for many services, like HBO Max.

Everything about it is fascinating. These people all have day jobs yet they provide a better experience than the multi-trillion dollar corporations that are releasing the product in the first place.

These people probably all have day school... I think most people who get past school age tend to retire out of this crowd of people...

I would just like to point out that this is a forum called Hacker News.

Why do so many people doing illegal/shady shit online use Discord? You might as well be using Facebook at the point.

Surely some people just use screen recording software for the "Download" illegally part?

The DRM technologies in place prevent screen recording from working, as far as I know. Or at least prevent it from working at high resolutions.

Who the hell skips car chases? What movie had a car chase that you wanted to skip that made that movie more watchable (this sentence applies to the furious films as well, skipping the chase scenes there gives you the dumbest drama of all time).
