In this case they're probably using browser-specific APIs to implement the DRM rather than naively detecting the UA and providing a higher quality stream.

- TeMPOraL 2y agoI have a feeling it's eventually going to be possible to work around this by setting up live AI upscaling to 4k - should be a year or two before that starts to work in real-time on higher-end gamer GPU. (Of course I suspect DRM will then get extended deeper into the GPU.)
- gruez 2y agoHDCP already encrypts everything starting from video decoding to the signals being sent to the monitor. It really can't get "deeper" than that, other than maybe fixing whatever current vulnerabilities pirates are using to bypass it.
- TeMPOraL 2y agoThen it'll get re-extended to 1080p again? Point being, I can see live 1080p to 4k upscale via generative AI becoming a feasible alternative to watching the original 4k stream where DRM prevents you from accessing the latter.
