The objection was to you telling Apple employees to shut up and never question Apple authority. And then pulling some mental gymnastics that Apple is 'special' with not being remote friendly

(1) Those numbers do not make distinction between Youtube/Vimeo (no DRM) and Netflix/Hulu (DRM). As an anecdote, none of my friends watch Netflix on their desktops, so while they spend plenty of bandwidth, none of them requires Widevine.

(2) Those numbers are bytes transferred, which is hardly a good metric of user importance. If you look at "top 100 websites" reports, like [0], you see there are no DRM-only sites at the top -- Netflix, for example, is on position 25.

The project I built and mentioned in the article, Metastream [1], is used to sync videos across browsers. It now lives as a browser extension and I'm able to track which web domains are most commonly used by the app.

Based on the usage statistics for the past month (28,711 samples), these are some commonly used media websites:

1. www.youtube.com (69%)

2. www.netflix.com (5%)

3. www.crunchyroll.com (2.5%)

4. www.hulu.com (0.8%)

5. www.funimation.com (0.3%)

6. www.disneyplus.com (0.3%)

7. other (22.1%)

The app is heavily skewed towards anime which already has a problem with piracy. That said, we can at least see that approx. 9% of traffic in my app is for DRM-enabled media.

Personally, I don't think the usage statistics of DRM media matters much. It shouldn't be a requirement to consume any content on the web to begin with.

it has an appearance of it, but we have no idea if that's all the info and/or the real control we have

What kind of tools/tech are you using to do this? I've been thinking of doing the same

Hass.io on a tinkerboard

Basically HomeAssistant

Should work fine on a raspberry too

I appreciate you open sourcing this. Good luck on future projects.

Great feature, shame it's tied to apple hardware - making it inaccessible to those who cannot afford it.

When you're trying to read the site for yourself, it can be distracting and a bit obnoxious.

Except kicking the door down is not particularly scalable or clandestine

>But his project's purpose is to literally broadcast media to your friends

Judging from the repo, there is no broadcast of content. Please take the time to read and think critically before you react with misinformation

I can never trust their DIY crypto
