Building decrypter libraries do not require kodi sources. Simply check out the sources of this addon and you are able to build decrypters including full access to existing decrypters implemented in bento4. ##### Bandwidth and resolution: -When using inputstream.adaptive the first time, the selection of stream quality / stream resolution is done with a guess of 4MBit/s. This default value will be updated at the time you watch your first movie by measuring the download speed of the media streams. -Always you start a new video, the average bandwidth of the previous media watched will be taken to calculate the initial stream representation from the set of existing qualities. -If this leads to problems in your environment, you can override / adjust this value using Min. bandwidth in the inputstream.adaptive settings dialog. Setting Min. bandwidth e.g. to 10.000.000, the media selection will never be done with a bandwidth value below -this value. -Currently the complete media is played with the selection from this initial step, adaptive stream changes during a running video is still under development. +When using inputstream.adaptive the first time, the selection of stream quality / stream resolution is done with a guess of 4MBit/s.

The memory consumption is the sum of single segment from each stream currently playing. Refering to known streams it is < 10MB for 720p videos. ##### Credits: -[@peak3d](https://github.com/peak3d) Original author / creator.
