huh..

Just download uncompressed 4k from private tracker instead

>>58441592
how does a deal like that even happen? It does not benefit netflix to require certain platforms and ban others, in fact it actually hurts netflix by banning a good number of their costumers devices that they would prefer not become paper weight.

>>58441764
they probably calculated marketshare of non-windows users, and (((windows))) and/or (((intel))) gave them more money than that.

>>58441793
bullshit, they get the money regardless its a subscription service.

did you only learn this now, it is old news already

>In an effort to placate the studios, Microsoft introduced "PlayReady 3.0" with the Windows 10 Anniversary update. PlayReady 3.0 is a hardware-based DRM (digital rights management) system that requires dedicated decoding hardware, either on the CPU or on the graphics card, preventing the video stream from being captured in software or via an external capture device.
>There's also the matter of hardware decoding support for 10-bit HEVC, the 4K codec used by Netflix and other streaming services. Currently, only Intel's seventh generation Kaby Lake processors support 10-bit HEVC decoding. Older sixth generation Skylake CPUs only support 8-bit HEVC decoding.
>And then there's the browser: 4K streaming only works in Microsoft Edge, because it's the only browser that supports PlayReady DRM.
tl;dr: the studios wanted this

AKA the reason why 4K streaming failed.

>>58441705
>Just download uncompressed 4k from private tracker instead

And spend 34 years getting that ratio back?

>>58442062
>the reason why 4K streaming failed.

The reason is more the whole fact that 4K streams have a lower bitrate than most 1080p blurays, completely and utterly killing the entire purpose of the high fidelity of 4K.

Either download Remuxes (I don't even think these exist yet, the encryption isn't cracked yet) or watch the damn physical disk.

>>58441592
Also at the present time you can only watch 1080p on netflix with edge

>>58442311
netflix always has a shit bitrate so the resolution doesn't matter that much

>>58441592
would it make sense that this is because they had to make a very complicated compression method and this is just the first processor they chose to support?

>>58441832
>Intel CPU's have built-in hardware DRM
Is it actually time to switch to AMD?

>>58441592
Unused service will now have even less subscribers.

It's pretty clear why this is a thing.

If you've ever tried to screenshot/record Netflix on Edge, you get a blank screen; the video is rendered and displayed on some graphical layer that normal programs don't access.

Gotta do the DRM dance.

>>58442874
Couldn't you just go HDMI out into a splitter which strips HDMI content protection? Then back into a vid capture card.

>>58442878
yeah, you need to seed to be on a private tracker you retard

>>58442904
Absolutely, but 99.99% of people aren't going to bother with that.

It's not about preventing all possible ways to record it; it's about making it inconvenient enough that few are going to bother doing it.

>>58442874
just film your screen lmaoer

>>58442906
why use private trackers for it? you don't have to use private trackers for everything

Most websites are like this now days. The only hope for websites at this point is to ban posting from mobile devices.

>>58442726
Zen will more than likely have it as well, considering this is dealing with an existing standard and Microsoft supposedly worked with Intel, AMD, and Nvidia when developing the standard. It isn't likely that AMD would want to push people away by not supporting this garbage.

I use usenet and public trackers, never had a problem.

1080p Netflix rips from a 4K stream actually generally look better than Blu-rays. But full res 4K NF rips are pretty much placebo, the streams don't really retain any "4K" detail, if there even was any such detail in the first place (a lot of their supposedly 4K shows weren't shot 4K).

>>58442916
Here's your (you)

4k content is a fucking joke in North America anyways. Who even buys Blu-ray or whatever the 4k disks are called these days?

From ISPs data capping and throttling and sueing Netflix, to all the crazy DRM Hollywood is shoving down everybody's throats, to garbage bitrates for streaming services.

Literally who gives a shit about it. 4k TVs are absolutely dirt fucking cheap but I would never buy a 4k player and movies for $20 a pop, nevermind you can only watch movies on said player if it's connected to the internet.

you what?

nobody fucking releases shows at higher than 1080p anyways pls fuck off

The streaming meme needs to die.

Netflix has to answer to publishers who probably get lobbied by the people who created the DRM they use in those processors.

You can't even go above 720p Netflix in Chrome or Firefox.

AMD doesn't care about you, Intel doesn't care about you, MS, Netflix, Nvidia, no one cares about you or your rights outside of how much money they can make from you.

I think ironically the cheapest way to get 4k streaming + 4k physical playback is with an xbox one base model and a 4k tv.
