Conversion to MSL V2 API

General infomration

Is there any reason you didn't implement the V2 format for the cipher text envelope when the header has been converted?

There is nothing about the V2 format in MSLCrypto.py and the 'cipherspec' line is commented out and the version set to 1 in MSLMediaDrm.py.

Look at the MSLv2.py file... we did what the browser does when you navigate netflix and when you request a movie playback, there are some holes that we could fill, but, we just patch it and add some improvements on the fly.

I you have more info about MSL v2 it willl be great if you share it with us.

Thanks in advance.

Yuo also might like to check v 0.14.0 on pull requests or nore updated one on @CastagnaIT fork.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I think you probably know a lot more about this stuff than I do but if I find anything of interest I’ll let you know.

I tried the v2 format for the cipher text envelope and couldn’t get it to work so I was really asking the question to see if you had come across the same problem. I can’t remember what the issue was now but I’ll give it another try in the next few days.

My concern is that Netflix will retire the v1 interface at some point and our code will stop working. I’m kind of surprised they haven’t done it already.

Just so you know where I am coming from, I have built my own media player over the last decade that provides all the TV/radio/DVD/music features that I want and for the last couple of years I’ve focussed on streaming material. My code is all C# on Windows

I’ve had my own Netflix UI for quite some time while using a browser as a player but when I came across your plugin I decided to implement the player part as well. I had already developed all the parsing code for this type of data stream so it was the MSL and encryption side of things that I needed to add.

Hello,

I am not a programmer, my degree is on Networking , Electronics and Telecomms, but I do some code stuff for myself, and my daily work is as Trobleshooter Team Manager, so I like to solve things and I know enough of all to get my job done, so I helped to solve MSLv2 migration, but my coding skills are limited, but once I get it worked, the netflix addon team re did it more efficient, but if you want to learn more about it and have a small snippet you would like to try https://github.com/truedread/pymsl , actually all my findings on changes from v1 to v2 was ussing it... Also , if I have something you could need, just ask it... if I dont have it, I can figure out something...

Salud from Mexico!!

Hi again,

I have been programming for more years than I care to remember. I am impressed with what you managed to do if you say you have limited coding skills.

I have looked at the truedread code before and that helped in the early days.

Looking at the fork you pointed me to I can see that the Kodi addon team did a good job and the code has been refactored and tidied up quite a bit.

I’m no Python programmer but it’s pretty easy to read.

I’m working on the decryption side of things at the moment. It’s not always obvious how all the pieces fit together but I’m making progress. Thank you for your offer of assistance, it is much appreciated. Where would we be without open source?

Cheers from New Zealand.
