Well, it's been a ride. I've been so busy lately and I really do want to apologize for it; school has been super tough. But I'm glad to be back doing what I love! This release is titled "we're back," and for good reason, because we finally got 1080p working again! Albeit a little haphazardly, but this whole extension is just a big cat-and-mouse game between Netflix and I. The workaround now is using the new Chromium-Edge ESNs to get 1080p manifests. What I found to work is to use the NFCDIE-03- ESN prefix, which would allow me to get 1080p profiles and licenses with ease. However, on my MacBook laptop, the license server would reject my license requests, presumably because I was using a Windows-specific ESN with OSX license requests. After some more digging, I found another ESN prefix: NFCDIE-04-. Manifest acquisition with this one proved to only give MPL profiles up to 720p, but it worked on my MacBook! So, I found myself back to where I started when I first made this extension: only being limited to 720p AVC-Main profiles. What I then had to do was implement license acquisition in my JavaScript MSL client, and get two manifests; one with NFCDIE-03- for 1080p AVC-Main profiles, and one with NFCDIE-04- so I could get a license (all MPL profiles share the same decryption keys, so a license for 720p MPL will work with 1080p MPL). We've gone from no manifest requests, to manifest requests on a few titles, to now two manifest requests + a license request on all titles! Initial loading times might be a bit slow!
