Figure out how to launch the netflix app #4

It will launch if you start the Netflix app, but we need to figure out what params are being sent.

wireshark will probably help!

From what I've read the Netflix app uses a custom encrypted protocol over WebSockets. So far I don't think anyone has managed to break it but people are working on it. Keys are probably somewhere on the device if you can reverse the native libraries netflix provided using IDA or similar

yikes, that sucks. so the decoding still happens on a computer and is piped over the network? that seems silly.

I don't think so - if they included proprietary native binaries on the ChromeCast (like they do with the android device) then the decoding is probably happening there
