Hello guys, I'm curious about this meme, is there some literature where I can find someguides to test this? Thanks.

You wouldn't pay for 4k Netflix and then download a Chromebook recovery image in order to extract the aarch64 widevine com blobs and then patch in support for 16k pages and then apply miscellaneous glibc compat workarounds and then spoof your useragent, and install a browser extension to unlock HD resolutions, to legally watch media in only 1080p

At the moment your service becomes even marginally more difficult than piracy, yo ho yo ho. What am I paying you for?

[–] Niiru@feddit.de 27 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Every single "service" out there is more difficult than Stremio. Exception might be non-english content

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In concept. Every single time I've tried to use it I've had issues. The movies stop constantly, files become unreachable for some indiscernible reason preventing me from continuing from the same source, the app bugs out like crazy, some things aren't all that easy to find, the quality isn't always great or there's weird stuff like embedded subtitles or watermarks.

[–] menixator@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

I genuinely thought it was just me but yeah this has always been the case for me. Neat concept but I think that living in the middle of nowhere with crappy internet makes it impossible to use for me.

[–] null@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago (8 children)

So I just install the app, sign up, and I can start watching whatever?

you will need to install the torrentio addon and have a vpn. a debrid service isn't needed

[–] scoobford@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You'll need to install the torrentio add-on.

You should use a VPN, but it will work without one.

You can use a debrid provider and remove the other stremio addons you don't use. I've never bothered, and to be honest I don't even really understand what debrid is.

I am not as worried about DMCA as the author is lol

Dear, OP

Kindly go fuck thine self.

Yours truly, This dyslexic idiot.

You might have already figured it out, but it says

You wouldn't pay for 4k Netflix and then download a Chromebook recovery image in order to extract the aarch64 widevine com blobs and then patch in support for 16k pages and then apply miscellaneous glibc compat workarounds and then spoof your useragent, and install a browser extension to unlock HD resolutions, to legally watch media in only 1080p

Also I don't think OP made the meme, I think they're just wanting to know more (as am I). Like, what's the drama? Why'd someone make the meme? It implies Netflix only lets you watch things in 1080p on a PC if you apply a bunch of workarounds (presumably to make the site think you're a TV or something).

[–] Daqu@lemm.ee 45 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They limit the resolution on linux and even getting 1080p as a paying customer is very hard.

[–] MaggiWuerze@feddit.de 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They also limit it on other platforms, if you use anything other than ~~Internet Explorer~~ Edge. Since Microsofts browser is the only one to include the Silverlight DRM plugin.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Silverlight DRM plugin

Wtf, hadn’t heard of that

[–] reallyzen@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a blog post on how to get Netflix and Spotify to work on Asahi Linux, the project to run Linux on new "M" chipsets 64bits Arm apple computers. Their solution (and widevine hack) is now integrated in the Fedora Linux Asahi Remix project' default distro. You still have to do the user agent mod tho.

[–] DivisionResult@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Thanks I will check it out!

You are correct I didn't make the meme, I'm looking for the technical background .

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 50 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm really glad to see that text transcriptions of image posts are much more common here than on other sites, but clearly still not common enough.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

Images of text, and the people that post them, have their own circle of hell waiting for them.

In this case the image is a riff on a video, so I'll let it slide, but I don't know why OP didn't just submit the source post instead of just this image from it.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not dyslexic and I can hardly read it too.

[–] freijon@lemmings.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

have you made sure that you're not a robot?

[–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

How many fingers am I holding up? If your answer is 6 or more, I have bad news for you and your data set.

Hey Sabee363, I didn't make the meme. I'm diging into this technologies because im paying for my grandma and last night I started remembering this topic, I'mhighly addictive to low level technology and I like to play with systems.

Partner, sorry if I don't transcribed. Have a nice day/evening/night.

Your totally fine, I was mostly poking fun at how much of a nightmare things like this can be to read. I was probably a bit heavy handed with my comment though, sorry. Might've also been stoned and forgot to finish what I was trying to say, lol.

No problem my friend, I will count on this for the next time. Thanks for making me notice.

Turns out I don't even care about all that content that much.

[–] fatboy93@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

Absolutely. My wife flew to her parent place with our toddler and I dont have any idea on what to watch.

All I'm watching is nursery rhymes since they're catchy as all hell.

It's going to be way easier just to torrent the files. Also if netflix notices your account is suddenly going through ten times the data they may deactivate it.

[–] FrederikNJS@lemm.ee 28 points 1 year ago

But the author is actually using less data than expected, because he's paying for 4K, but only able to watch up to 1080p

[–] jcg@halubilo.social 14 points 1 year ago (9 children)

This level of effort is probably geared more towards those who create the torrents, not those who consume them.

[–] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

heroes. we should support them more.

Yeah that's a lot of work. That's why I just sail the high seas and put stuff on Plex.

Well that was a ride.

[–] crispy_kilt@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

Too much effort, sailing the high seas is so much easier

[–] CCL@links.hackliberty.org 8 points 1 year ago (10 children)

I can't believe people even bother with 1080P let alone 4K. Is there unlimtied bandwidth where you all live?

In my part of the world anything above 480p is just asking for a bad time, with no actual improvement on your ability to enjoy the story.

[–] crimsonpoodle@pawb.social 21 points 1 year ago

Hmm I can’t decide if this is a joke or if I’m just very privileged in the internet department

[–] scoobford@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 year ago (10 children)

Most people in developed countries have internet that can support HD resolutions, yes. Mine even does, and our building's wiring is original to the 50s.

I agree and I live in Germany and have good internet. Story beats resolution any time

[–] brokenlcd@feddit.it 3 points 1 year ago

Feel you m8, where i live we are stuck for the most part with 10Mbit/s at most, an that's the high end stuff.
