Hi @Milhouse, it's me again and don't worry I'm not here because of any issues (everything is running as it should).
I have a question about the DRM situation with Amazon Prime, Netflix and the like, more like an understanding issue on my end.
As far as I understand it we don't get the 1080p and higher streams anymore because of the DRM Amazon and the like use and that it partially has to do with OpenGL.
Now I remember that earler this year (I believe it was in March) a new Vulkan version was announced that added a way to display such content.
(Really hope I didn't mix up anything so far)
I'm sure it would be a lot of work to add vulkan 1.1 to your builds, that's not what I'm asking for.
What I'm asking for is if it is correct that we would be able get the protected 1080p and higher streams again with vulkan 1.1.
For reference: Vulkan-1-1-Presentation_Mar18.pdf (3rd slide from the bottom)
Thanks in advance for clarifying things (again)
And keep up your good work (the #08XX builds are the best so far on my HTPC)
