Amazon prime plays 1080p but this Netflix does not play HD even after having Widevine L1 .

I have the FireTV 2 and the only two apps that switch the screen to 4K are Netflix and Amazon. The Youtube app plays everthing in 1080p even if its a 4K video. This means that the Netflix and Amazon apps are sending some command to the Fire TV OS to switch from 1080p to 2160p.
Can someone explain that - also are there any side loaded apps that will display 4K videos or 4K photos in 4K ?
Hello, I have just purchased a new Amazon Fire TV 4K box with the intention of running Kodi in 4K but I have only just realised that 4K mode is only enabled when watching 4K content in Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. Is there any way at all that I can force enable the 4K resolution at all times?
Thanks

With Kodi no you can't, but MrMc has 4k support but no addon support, and SPMC has a test build out now with 4k support. Hope this helps.
Even if you enable 4k resolution you won't get it unless it's 4k content... If have addon to watch 4k content in kodi it will automatically display it.
Amazon's Fire TV Stick (2nd gen) and Fire TV Stick Basic Edition are DRM L3 certified (not DRM L1). Then how do these support HD streaming? Can someone explain?
Fire TV specs on Amazon Developer page clearly specifies that the Fire Tv 2nd gen and FireTV basic only has DRM L3 certification. Still, both these dongles support HD streaming.
DRM Info App says widevine L1 support on my 4K stick.
Samsung Galaxy A50 does not stream Netflix in HD despite Widevine L1 cert.
Contacted customer support of both Netflix and Samsung. Their first line support did not seem to have a clue to what was being talked about. When pressured, they simply said we don't support.
Findings:
On A50, HD streaming works on Amazon Prime Video
On the Galaxy M series web site, Samsung prominently advertises Netflix HD streaming. And Netflix also recently whitelisted the M series but not the A50.
netflix refuses HD compatibility with this phone, even with L1 security, netflix is too paranoid. The only working HD+ version is the netflix 6.20.1 build 51 31579
720P only
find it in apk mirror
Apk mentioned does bring 720p. This is more than enough on 6.4" screen. And updating from playstore does not remove hd.
Hello everybody. Has Redmi 7 Widevine L1?
Mine is Widevine L3, this is the reason I can´t watch Netflix in HD. You can check it with the app DRM Info at Play Store.
I would like to know yours.
Have a nice day, People!

L3 on latest MIUI Global and the same for LineageOS, but don't know if that's because root/bootunlock or if this device didn't had L1 before.
