Go try to take a screen shot of Netflix.
- lofaszvanitt 2y agoThat's a non issue... on a PC :D.
- rchaud 2y agoThat's because Netflix hasn't forced Microsoft, Google and Apple to enable these blocks on their OSes and browsers...for now.
- lofaszvanitt 2y agoI think Chrome gives back black screens if you try to do so.
- jsheard 2y agoThey absolutely have, Windows, Android and Apples platforms all have the concept of "secure" framebuffers which appear as black rectangles if you attempt to screenshot or record them. Netflix and similar will only serve you high res video if your system supports that protection amongst others, otherwise they'll restrict you to something like 720p.
- MindSpunk 2y agoYeah but Netflix won't serve you 4k on a PC unless you use Edge (not even chrome iirc) or their windows app. Screenshot those and you'll get black rectangles.
- sunaookami 2y agoIf you use the built-in Windows screenshot (print screen) it just copies a black frame to the clipboard. It's trivial to bypass with e.g. ShareX (I don't know if Snipping Tool suffices). EDIT: Ah missed the comment below which explains that already.
