+InputStream Adaptive (inputstream.adaptive) is a binary kodi addon
+that acts as a demuxer for segmented, multi-bitrate internet streams.
+On Kodi, InputStream Adaptive serves as a client for adaptive streams
+and can even play DRM content using an external library.
+
+It is an essential component for many popular video addons including
+Hummingbird, Netflix, YouTube, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime Video and SGK
+Live-Portal.
+
+NOTE: Many, if not all, players using inputstream.adaptive will
+require downloading and installing the Widevine Content Decryption
+Module (CDM). Widevine CDM is DRM licensing and encryption technology
+that is owned and maintained by Google.
+
+Kodi will prompt you to agree to download and install it the first
+time Widevine CDM is requested for use.
