I want to do this:
1. Subscribe to netflix
2. Stream 4K movies to my Kodi PC
3. Watch 4K movies in netflix addon for Kodi
First question: Is this even possible? As I understand it if you want to play 4K DRMed content all of your hardware and software must be HDCP 2.2 compliant.
Second question: If it is possible, what hardware do I need to make this work? It looks like I'm all set on the TV(specs below). But everything else is not compliant. So I was thinking of upgrading my video card to a Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti(4K capable, HDCP 2.2 compliant). But I think I still need to upgrade the motherboard/CPU as well. I think the features I need on the motherboard are: SGX, HDMI 2.0a, HDCP 2.2. Is that correct?
Third question: what software do I need to make this work? Does Kodi/netflix addon support watching DRMed 4K content? If so is Kodi 17.6 good enough or do I need to upgrade to the beta 18.x?
Setup:
TV: Sony Bravia x83C, HDCP 2.2 compliant
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L (intel core 2, P35 chipset)
Videocard: Geforce GTX 460
OS: Windows 10
Kodi: 16.1
