the videos look interesting but i am on linux and this looks windows only. also, i need some background knowledge to get this working so i could not retry.

a good attempt imo. if i had the time and the necessary technical competency, i would've loved to jump into it. for many years piratebay was my default homepage. now, lookmovie or vumoo gets my occasional streaming fix

I imagine it's windows only because widevine on Linux is crippled for many services, like HBO Max.

well if the utility is merely breaking encryption on the url, it shouldn't matter what the host is? right?

Ah, perhaps. I didn't look to see how it works, if it requires the widevine binaries, certificates that come with it, etc.

It isn't.
