Netflix has a complex DRM implemented on their stream. Plus a lot of contents are region-locked licensed. These stuff are hard to control on decentralised technology like web-torrent. But I would like them to use a more modern encoding. Single 1080p 25min episode used 1.4GB of my internet. While I found entire season of 1080p x265 encoded, for 2.1GB.
I did build a P2P streaming test/play app as well as p2p file sharing and it blew me away. I ran into difficulty on something i couldnt not remember right now and kinda gave up. I think it was the topic of how to notify and share a seed to other users who may not know the magnet link.
i think i found a solution to that
I think there are legal and licensing reasons why Netflix, Spotify and similar apps can’t do that.
What if we built a WebTorrent client for giants like Netflix & YouTube? Imagine: decentralized streaming, lower costs, and maybe even community-driven content!
Netflix & YouTube on WebTorrent? Sounds like a recipe for chaos or innovation! Anyone up for the challenge?
have you tried out anything with it?
