Unfortunately, Netflix has ultimately screwed over this extension. For videos that previously required manifest acquisition, Netflix now needs PRK profiles to be included in manifest requests and prefers them over regular non-PRK AVC profiles. What was previously exploited was that 1080p and non-1080p profiles used the same decryption keys. Using that information, you could request 1080p encrypted MP4 links with an Edge ESN and use the license obtained with 720p and below MP4s with it. But since PRK profiles are enforced, each resolution has its own unique decryption key, and thus 720p licenses won't work on 1080p content. So for now, the extension doesn't do anything extra when it encounters something that it previously acquired a manifest for.

Changelog:

  • Updated playercore for latest version (cadmium-playercore-6.0011.853.011 as of publishing this release)
  • Disabled manifest acquisition
  • Added new options page for selecting whether or not to playback 5.1 audio (right click extension icon, click Options)
