I know that widevine has been revoked for the pixel c but is there any way to bypass this to get full HD?
The ways of DRM are beyond my knowledge.

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.
I want to root my Galaxy S9 (Exynos) because I want to install stock Android. The problem is I can't find explicit answers if I am still able to view Netflix and Amazon Prime in HD quality or not. I don't care about knocking knox since I don't have warranty anymore anyway.
So will I still be able to watch Netflix in HD and use other apps normally that use Widevine L1?
Did you find anything?
Thanks.
Hi guys,
can someone here confirm if widevine L1 is still present or lost in Netflix. Some devices (from other oems) lost their drm keys for unknown reason.
My RN8 (ginkgo variant) can no longer play netflix in HD ! I'm on LOS 17
ASUS finally has a software fix for phones losing HD Netflix support
The company previously asked owners to send in their units to get the fix

Ginkgo has still security level L1. So, HD streaming should work. Check DRM info from play store.
Hi
I need support on how to reset the Widevine L1 certificate on Iq003. There are many videos on internet about other phones but none on IQ003.
Posting this for seeking support how do we IQ003 Users get back our L1 certification and enjoy our HD streaming.
Appreciate if anyone can share some light on this issue.
