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.

It is SIGNIFICANTLY easier to just download properly done rips than to try to either capture or dump the Netflix streams yourself.

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.

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)
