Has the reason for the 720p cap been confirmed anywhere? All I'm getting from the helpdesk is that it is browser limitation, not policy. Is there something in the HTML5 DRM standard that imposes this limit?
- syshum 10y agohttps://help.netflix.com/en/node/23742 https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23742 Resolution: Google Chrome up to 720p Internet Explorer up to 1080p Microsoft Edge up to 4K* Mozilla Firefox up to 720p Opera up to 720p Safari up to 1080p on Mac OS X 10.10.3 or later Mainly it has to do with PlayReady / Widevine support at the OS Level. Windows has PlayReady baked into the OS, and will communicate with the Edge Browser in a Secure way that can not be bypassed by any user on the System Linux and other browsers on Windows lack the ability to do this at an OS Level there for netflix limits the stream quality because the OS does not have the proper DRM Controls This is the exact same reason they do not want the Netlfix app on Rooted devices
