I've seen that after the bootloader is unlocked the Widevine Certification is downgraded to L3, is there any magisk module or any way to edit the system files to get it back to L1?
P.S. I don't have any experience playing with Widevine certification at system level, so kind of a noob, so please explain easily :laugh:

Well, it's a minor make up because the Safety net check is positive, the playstore is certified, and even when it isn't, just register the device with the gfs code and the financial apps work even without warnings hiding them on magisk hide, even netflix works installed from the play store, even if I don't have an account ...

Hmmm I use Prime Video a lot without L1 it's not possible to stream in 1080p right? That's why I'm curious.

My app doesn't give me that screen. It does not make me choose the resolutions but only gives me in the settings the streaming and download qualities that I set in Maximum.

Is there a way to watch Netflix in hd on this phone? I understand that the issue is with the DRM level, is there a way to change it? Is anyone else having this problem?
Do you have the hd subscription?

Yes, I have the 4k subscription, but if I look at any movie I don't see the little hd icon next to the title. Googling it I found out that this issue is related to the level of DRM the phone has which you can also find using the drminfo app. Are you not having this problem? Could you check your DRM level and tell me if I got a bad unit?
So I've googled it and it appears that Netflix use Google DRM called Widevine. Our devices do support Widevine 1.0 but unfortunately the second requirement is Netflix certification which unfortunately not all devices get.
There appears a way to bypass this where it tells Netflix servers that it's allowed to stream HD:

The link you posted says that it works with DRM L1 but my P2 has L3, does yours use L1?
Hi I'm considering getting a Pixel C but I want to know what the Widevine DRM is like. On my Shield Tablet I get L1 with root and unlocked bootloader according to DRM Info, but what is it like on the Pixel C?

I'm using Lineage 16 so I'm rooted and unlocked and I get Widevine L1. Netflix works, Prime Video works, Vudu works (Prime Video & Vudu both work on Chrome if you tick Desktop site as well as their apps). Do make sure to turn off Live Display / Night Light / any other screen color modification or you won't see a picture on most protected content apps.
Hi,
Since our device comes with Widevine L1 and HDR10 support, I would like to know if it supports HD streaming on Netflix and Amazon Prime? Now before you jump on saying I am an idiot for asking such question as the device ships with WVL1, let me tell you that having Widevine L1 is not the only criteria to be able to stream HD contents on Netflix and Amazon Prime. They have their own set of criteria and every device has to be whitelisted from their end in order to support HD streaming. This is the reason my last device Poco F1 can not stream HD contents as Netflix is not ready to whitelist the device. So I would like to know what is the case with Realme X as I am thinking of getting Netflix. But I would like to make sure HD streaming is working before I invest on the HD plan. If anyone here uses Netflix HD plan on Realme X, can you please check and let me know if HD streaming is working (a screenshot would be better). If you don't have Netflix or Amazon Prime, I would request you to kindly ignore the post as I am not looking for answers based on assumption.
Thank you!!

Yeah right. The device also needs to be whitelisted by netflix and amazon themselves for hd playback other than having L1 certification in the first place. I confirm the support of hd playback on both the apps but hdr is not supported. As you know realme x supports hdr content too(our device only supports hdr, not hdr 10), play some hdr stuff on YouTube and you would know the difference but hdr on netflix and amazon are not supported. Now in netflix app it ll clearly show hdr written if the show supports it and the device supports it as well ( I cannot include ss of the netflix app as i don't currently have an active plan) but I don't think same is the case with amazon prime because (ss attached) below you ll see hdr is mentioned for the show but i don't think it plays it in hdr. Also (ss attached) you ll see my rant over colour os in a post where i talk about the same and the inclusion of osie vision effect as a feature in place of hdr support which doesn't actually work.

Hey thanks man for confirming. Having HD is fine with me. It may not be as good as HDR, but it's way better than SD. Now that you have confirmed HD (not talking about HDR) streaming is working on Netflix and Prime, I am renewing my subscription.
Thank you again for taking the time to answer.

You can always like my comment if I was helpful. Also watching content on this device would be a breeze. I actually used my laptop to watch my content because of the bigger screen but after buying this phone I use this rather. Also did a little research and netflix and amazon support hdr content on only a couple of flagship devices like Galaxy note 10 plus and stuff, those who support hdr10 so having hdr doesn't make a difference. Anyways enjoy.
Is it just me or does Kodi not work on 120hz? I cannot seem to get it to work unless I go back to 60hz. Is there anther version or a work around?
Please do not any info about add ons. I just simply want Kodi to work on my s20 without having to toggle 120hz every time I open it.

Ai think you've answered your own question.
Until 120 really does become mainstream I think you're going to have to revert to 60.
Any way to make a role so that Kodi only runs in 60hz? Saving you from having to change it manually?
I guess this would affect most streaming services and probably other apps that haven't took 120 into account

Thank you for this info. I was hoping you'd tell me there is a setting in missing or there is a modded version of kodi that works with 120hz. But i guess I'll just have to wait. Thanks for the info.

I'd love to see 120hz movies as I've got a 120hz TV. But I don't think there's that much call for it just yet.
Maybe in time.

for me prime and hbo are workin, for netflix i found an alternative, Rave app!
even f1 Tv is not working, i think because of drm protections

Rave can make Netflix and disney+ work!
However only 540P for netflix and 720P for disney+
Are you the same or this is because I download Rave from APKpure
better quality is not possible because of DRM protections, even if the Original Netflix app would work!
It's because chinese firmware.

latest version of netflix I got at APKpure won't show "can't connect" but still will show device not compatible , even put it into gspace. Rave still the only way it seems.
