Blockchain as a technology is very useful. It's just how it's pushed as some kind of magic sauce that makes everything better just to sell things. There's a similar problem with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Blame the application not the technology.

Older Samsung Smart TVs, Certain Roku Devices To Lose Netflix Support Next Month (techcrunch.com) 170

Posted by msmash on Thursday November 07, 2019 @04:15PM from the shape-of-things-to-come dept.

An unspecified number of smart TVs manufactured by Samsung will lose native support for Netflix next month, the companies said in an announcement this week. From a report: Netflix app installed -- or available for -- Samsung smart TVs manufactured in 2010 and 2011 (C and D lineups) -- and likely sold for many years after that -- will stop functioning December 2, Samsung alerted customers this week. In a statement, a company spokesperson said these TV models were sold only in the U.S. and Canada. In its statement, the top smart TV manufacturer advised affected customers to look for a game console, streaming media player, set-top box or other devices that still support Netflix app to continue their binge-watching sessions. A Netflix spokesperson cited technical limitations for the change. The developement comes weeks after Netflix alerted several Roku customers that they, too, will lose access to the streaming service on December 1.

That will still be a problem, as any properly HDCP-compliant capture card will not (or should not!) give you access to the data either. Every device should check the downstream devices are compliant before passing any data on, and not provide any way to intercept it. Any that knowingly do are breaking the HDCP licensing agreement and are likely to be sued.

You'll probably run into copy-protection issues with many media sources. If you can get at the bits to analyze it, you can dump them out to create a copy. I'm not even sure sharpness is going to be easy to measure, if a soft/low-res source has been artificially sharpened to give the appearance of quality. Sports broadcasts seem to be the worst for it for it from my experience, with glowing halos around high-contrast edges to make them stand out even more.
