Convert & watch netflix downloads.

Watch Netflix Downloads

• This is a pet project of mine which I made in spare time.
• Netflix downloaded files are not directly watchable in common players. It is a try to convert them & watch.
• Here is an attempt to make a system to convert the Netflix downloaded file formats (.nfv and .nfa) into playable forms.

Installation

Install ffmpeg using this command:

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg libsm6 libxext6  -y

Then install the requirements using this command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

pre-process

usage: preprocess.py [-h] -f FOLDER -n NAME

Preprocess the netflix directory.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -f FOLDER, --folder FOLDER
                        Video folder
  -n NAME, --name NAME  Video name

watch

usage: watch_netflix_folder.py [-h] -f FOLDER

Preprocess the netflix directory.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -f FOLDER, --folder FOLDER
                        Video folder

watch-netflix-downloads's Issues

audio good, video random colors and pixelation

UPDATE:
You should probably note this program is for cell phones. The Netflix app for Windows does not use the same format.

Just downloaded and tried the app.
Using Windows 11 x64 with Python, and WSL Ubuntu with Python.

The app runs and closes, creates a directory and closes without processing anything. This takes about 3 seconds.
In WSL Ubuntu, the same happens.

Example command lines:

For a local copy of the video:
python preprocess.py -f Seinfeld -n sein0101

For the standard Netflix directory:
python preprocess.py -f C:\Users\jimly\AppData\Local\Packages\4DF9E0F8.Netflix_mcm4njqhnhss8\LocalState\offlineInfo\downloads -n seinfeld0101

After using ffmpeg directly:
ffmpeg -i 1234567 -c:v copy sein0101.mp4
The video runs in VLC but shows an assortment of colored screens; blue, green, dark green, red, etc. The timing is right but the imagery is screwed up.

ffmpeg -i 654321 -c:a copy seinaudio.mp4
The audio works perfectly.

Thanks for the app.
