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.

For screenripping, the concepts are:

you have to have a client that can play the content
output via a HDMI splitter
record the screen from the second computer
you now have a 4k recording

That constitutes a webrip.

A webdl means you need to crack widevine or whatever protections Netflix has in place.

How you crack that means you most likely need a L1 key which is the highest protection and no one is going to tell you how to get one or crack it. If they do they risk making their way & key public and then it will be patched and "everyone" will be worse off.

If you are interested have a look at the l3 protections : https://github.com/cryptonek/widevine-l3-decryptor
