I just got this phone today and found out that it could not play anything in Netflix in HD. In "test patterns", it only maxes out at 540p with a really low bit rate.
I have done numurous research on different versions of Netflix, but none really worked, not even the modded ones for the Poco phone F1 originally.
The Redmi note 8 pro has widevine L1 and is supposed to play Netflix in HD with no problem, but it couldn't. Anyone has a solution to this problem? And would this problem be solved? I really don't want to wait like how the Poco phone users waited 4 months for that widevine update.
Thanks in advance.
Maybe with Kodi and Netflix addon?

What are those?? I never heard of it
Kodi is one of the best mediaplayer...(previously called xbmc)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.xbmc.kodi&hl=en_US
It allows plug-in that brings new features...
Here are more infos About the plug-in.

As I haven't Netflix account, I can't test...
Tried Netflix through Kodi, still only got 540 resolution.. even though I checked 4k etc.
Any solutions other than that?
We really need to get more people to know about this problem so the developers could fix this asap, is a serious problem
How did you check the resolution? I want to test mine

Search test patterns in Netflix. Click on the videos and look at the numbers on the top of your screen.

I think it's a chipset related issue, because of Mediatek compatibility.

I don't think so. Mediatek phones are the worst updating/fixing their issues.

I search for app with video capture of my display. Does it exists?
Only if you have root, in which case you can use the app Screencast - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5tcy5zY3JlZW5jYXN0Il0.
There is a demo app here (but it really is limited) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ms.screencastfree&feature=more_from_developer
You may find you need to tell the settings to record in a higher resolution to make it work.

So I decided to get an LG3 and so far I am pretty satisfied. However I can't change the contrast/sharpness. I am getting the feeling that this is intentional. Or am I missing something?

Hey all,
Got my brand new Mate 20 X yesterday with an immediate update to fix Netflix (Widevine L3), after the update DRM Info showed widevine was L1, Netflix was showing in HD. But this morning when I woke up my device looked like it restarted due to another update overnight to fix the camera filters/AI issues or something. Checking Netflix now there is no longer a HD logo next to any of the HD series and Widevine has now been reverted back to L3. Can anyone help me with this please! My model is the L29 6/128GB purchased from WondaMobile

Right after that. Try to change the phone location, maybe the update is not yet in your country.

Sounds like what I had.
Search on Netflix for "Test Patterns", pick any episode, pinch the screen so it shows ALL of the picture and at the top right you'll see the real resolution.
When I had the problem it was something like 950 x 540.
The fix for me was quite straight forward, just clear cache and data, run Netflix, sign in again and it was fine.

Got this too on my AL00. Was interested in the 'Instant Projection' feature but can't see any settings or other options regarding this. Phone still has 'Easy Projection' but I was expecting to see something new.
Does your phone show anything new on this? Have you used this feature yourself?

Not really used it but if you go setting and start typing easy projection you can set it to wireless
Thanks for quick reply. Yes always had that 'easy projection' option but was expecting to see something new. Obviously not going to happen

Hi thanx for replying. Yes it's a hardware feature and apparently its supported in the 7 series. We can actually do this with acc module and acca app.
