EME? CDM? DRM? CENC? IDK!
We’ve all used Netflix, but most of us (developers included) do not know how to deliver or implement encrypted video to the browser ourselves.
I’d like to invite you to join me as I recap my journey into reverse engineering Netflix. I’ll let you know how I came to understand the messy, monstrous world of DRMed videos on the web, how fragmented this ecosystem is, and who is in control of what.
It’s a depressing but fun journey full of WTFs and technical/legal contraints that I had no idea about when I first set sail watching Netflix on my Raspberry PI.
