Have you actually tried that lately? Particularly with a DASH stream? (Not that DASH itself is intended as DRM, but just that it's no longer anywhere near as simple as querying a single URL.)

- corobo 6y agoCongratulations on being the millionth person to say that, not one has given instructions on how to do it. How would you go about putting a DASH stream together in dev tools? Side note I didn't say hack, nor did the parent. Who are you quoting?
