    It’s a drawback of open source systems. Without the copy protection in place, rightsholders are unwilling to let you have their best stuff.

    Which means ironically the only way to watch at good quality is to torrent it…

        Yeah, Netflix appears to be about 2-3GB an hour at “4K”. And that’s for Stranger Things, which is arguably their top content. If it’s not their own stuff, it’s rarely higher than 1080p anyway. Audio is always just regular lossy Dolby Digital.

        Not hard to beat that, tbh.
