There are also some weird decisions made by content owners. For example: Star Trek Strange New Worlds is available in my country on SkyShowtime, but only in 1080p SDR. This is a relatively new streaming service that only launched last year, yet they do not support 4k or HDR. The same series is available through 'alternative sources' in 4k HDR.
I have no idea why they would not offer it in 4k, it's not a licensing issue since both ST:SNW and SkyShowtime are owned by Paramount. It's mind boggling why they would sabotage their own service like that.
- otikik 3y agoI know people who programmed an app for controlling this kind of thing- licensing agreements for video content on streaming platforms. The “period” entity was a huge monster with many fields. Resolution amongst them. > why they would not offer it in 4k That’s because the other license was either too pricey, or simply unavailable (another platform might have purchased exclusivity for that show in 4k in your area)
- Aaargh20318 3y agoIt’s their own show, and there is no other platform that offers it.
