FYI/YSK:

When youre on a video with forced ads where you cannot skip through them, go PiP on the video and use the arrow keys to scrub left or right...

I discovered this, then talked to a buddy at netflix, and he said that coding for PiP was a pain because PiP doesnt abide by DRM rules.

What would be cool is the ability to pipe a PiP to VLC and then use VLC to save out a video....



So you can take a screenshot with PiP without triggering the safeguards?


Report back with your findings.

But if you have any idea how to "pipe a PiP to VLC" let me know...

I'd like to figure out how to "pipe a PiP"
