This is just not true. It's up to individual content providers to decide what resolutions to supply via L3, and for Netflix and Amazon Prime, that resolution is 1080p.
- Thorrez 6y ago>and for Netflix [...], that resolution is 1080p. Do you have a source for that? This page[1] says Firefox and Chrome on Windows, Linux, and Mac only go up to 720p. Chrome on ChromeOs goes up to 1080p, is that still L3? [1] https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23742 https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23742

It seems that many streaming platforms disable 1080p by default, and I assume that this is only for performance reasons (some hardware struggles to run an obfuscated software video decoder...) - it's not a DRM limitation, and in netflix's case it can be re-enabled via trivial changes to the frontend JS.
- Aissen 6y agoOf course you can watch the test streams, but try watching a recent movie from a third party studio and see if it reports the same resolution.
- Retr0spectrum 6y agoThis is true, but if you care about quality you'd go directly to the third party source. All of the content I actually use Netflix for is available in 1080p on L3 (Which matters to me, since L3 is the highest supported level on desktop x86 Linux).
