I currently pay for Netflix 4K. But I want to watch the content in 4K on my laptop and Netflix won’t let me do that since I’m using Linux/Firefox.
I also have a Jellyfin server and rip my BluRays, so I’m used to ripping my own media to stream on my local network. I’d like to rip some of the newer “planet earth” style documentaries from Netflix which is presented in really beautiful 4k video. Is there a guide somewhere which will walk me though how to do this? I imagine I’ll have to buy some additional gear to do this, but I’m not averse to that.
If anyone can point me the right direction, I’d be grateful.
I know you’re right but I haven’t been able to find the specific documentaries I want to rip. Also, my library is all in the av1 codec and I’d like to keep it that way as much as I can.
Try Real Debrid. It’s rare to not find something. Should you really not be able to find them, then the news servers are where you should head next. Just about anything ever made is on nzb. You’ll need to pay some money and do a little learning, but the Usenet is pretty rad once you figure it out. It’s a lot easier now than it used to be too. They have clients that will search, download, unpack, and assemble, all at the click of a button. But like I said, Real-Debrid+Stremio+Torrentio is amazing.
Real debrid is the way

Tack on rclone for copying them locally. (The Bob’s Burgers Archive must grow)
How familiar are you with torrents? I can send you an invite to a private tracker full of 4k remux documentaries… I just think you are better with 1080p if watching on a laptop. For me at least, I can’t tell the difference (and I have a 4k screen on my laptop)
I’m familiar with torrents and seeding. I would appreciate an invitation. Thank you for the offer. Feel free to dm me.
My advice for finding torrents, so long as they are not insanely obscure, is using qbittorrent with tons of search plugins. It may be hard to find av1 but if you have a new GPU you can transcode quickly, or if you don’t you can always use software encoding.
