EME? CDM? DRM? CENC? IDK!
summary
Reverse engineering Netflix shows playback needs only three requests: manifest, license and the first encrypted chunk, plus a ~2–3 MB Widevine CDM binary that the browser fetches. The CDM often decodes on at most two CPU threads, limiting low‑power devices. Netflix layers its own MSL (Message Security Layer) over CENC. An open source client exists that runs on a Raspberry Pi 2 and achieves SD playback, proving the approach works end to end.
