Running on a Server (Requires SSL to make DRM work)

Streams with DRM (Encrypted Media) require secure context to work. If you want to run this on a server (aka not on localhost), you have to connect using HTTPS to watch LIVE content.

This tool provides some easy-to-use SSL options, or you can still manage yourself.

Custom Arguments

Command	Notes
`-ssl`	SSL support via Lets Encrypt. Requires a public IP and port 80 being open to fetch the certificate
`-listen localhost:80`	Use a custom `host:port` instead of the default `localhost:13331`
`-self-sign`	Issue and use a self-signed SSL certificate. Will display a warning in browsers

Running with -ssl or -self-sign requires you opening the browser manually, as these commands are supposed to run in a server rather than your PC.
