Hi, im on stock EU ROM (12.5) and prime video doesn't stream in HD.
The mi 11 have widevine L1, can anyone explain me why I can't stream in HD. Netflix and Disney work well

So from this page https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23939 the Mi Max 2 is not supported for NetFlix HD although it has a FHD screen.
I'm confused though, is this only for streaming? What if I download in "best quality" and then watch? Will it still not play in HD? Anyone had any experience with this?
Hey. No problems here. Streaming from Netflix HD to my Max 2 almost every evening.

Are you using any workarounds? How do you know it's playing in HD?
I don't use any modifications. Both my Android TV player and apparently the Mi Max 2 are not supported, both are working fine with no modifications (though the android TV player need to download the APK from Aptoide since it can't from the play store).
You can make sure you're streaming in HD if you work through the settings in here: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/11559

Miui 10 is still in early beta, what did you expect...
I'm actually a beta tester of miui10 (China version), I really don't know why you have problems while I don't...
Just in case I've added screenshots of my HD settings. Finally started watching Luke Cage.
Strange behavior
I currently running MUI10.3 9.2.14 and it the last version to support netflix up to date version.
If i update my MUI to a newer version netflix isn't support anymore and i need to download a older version with much less featuring.
I try to understand what going on.
you guys who claim to watch Netflix in HD should search in Netflix for "test patterns" and it will show whether you're watching in HD or you simple just think that based on some data usage settings...
That's because the Mi Max 2 phone has a DRM Widevine license class 3, This will restrict paid services like Netflix to play a video at maximum resolution of 540p. It won't matter if you have a full HD display or quadHD display if your DRM license is class 3. This was same issue with POCO F1 when it was launched. However, POCO F1 received an update and the Widevine license was updated to class 1. Although the Widevine license won't affect videos that you store on your phone(not Netflix), they can still play in full HD.
Most android phones carry a DRM widevine license 3. How to check this?
Go to your playstore and download app called DRM info and once installed it will show you the DRM license class of your phone.
Cheers!!!
Hi i want to know is this possible to stream Netflix ultra HD content in vivo v11 pro..is that have Widevine L1 cerfication?Pls help
Not possible. It's a shame that Vivo is charging us quite a big amount but doesn't even have Widevine certificate to stream HD videos on Netflix and Amazon prime.
That’s too uncomfortable.So, are you a devil?

I'll have a test and report back and we will see
{Update} : can't be done using software methods.... So it didn't work
Using 4.4 with widevine mod and everything including netflix works great except prime video. Horrible choppy mess where I have to allow the video to stutter for about 10 straight minutes before it eventually smooths out. I'm sure the terrible coding of the app is to blame since netflix and youtube are silky smooth.
Anyone know a workaround or a rom that works better with it? Preferably with widevine 3 so I can at least get 720p
Thanks
I think we got Widevine L1 via OTA update (176). DRMInfo seems to confirm this. Can anyone else confirm this? Try Netflix, Prime or whatever.
I'm on
176, tried netflix but every time I try to log in it just goes back to mainpage.
Netflix ist working for me (EMUI 11) but still L3
L3 on 176 for me on netflix im afraid
Might be their "supported devices nonsense". I've tried YouTube purchased movie playback. Before 176 I had 480p max. Now it plays at 1080p. I think It's working.
L1 Here on. 176

I got YouTube Vanced with microG. No GMS. I know from the res options from the top-right menu. Prior to 176 I had 480p as the best option. Now it goes up to 1080p. I tested this exact movie because I've purchased it through youtube and it has DRM. Never had any issues with resolution on public videos. Just on protected content. Regarding Netflix: I think it's from their app. They have device list. If the device is not there the app streams SD, like on an L3 device. That's what I figured this evening after chatting with one of their support agents.

I have the same on DRM info but L3 on the netflix app
Same here, L3 on netflix[emoji57], for a moment I smiled when I read your first post [emoji1787]
The weird thing is that AFAIK p40 pro+ is netflix L1, which I fail to understand..

I think you'll catch up when the new beta or official 11 comes out. The changelog for 10.1.0.176 was just security update, but we got L1 cert with it.
L1, EMUI 11 beta
For me still L3
Can anyone think why some devices are showing L1 on Netflix and others L3?
install netflix from aurora store and it will work

L1 is not enough for Netflix, because device must be netflix certified

Believe me... there is no p40 pro with L1 in netflix app.
Here is official list tablets and smartphones which supports HD or HDR

Yep I've read that the other day, I think I misread the op, thought he said he was getting hd on Netflix but I think he meant hd on YouTube DRM stuff.
Hey guys.
Anybody of you guys is using the Mi 11 U with 512 GB Storage with the stock chinese rome? My Device has L1 however Amazon Prime Video content isn't playing in HD? Any reason why this is happening? I haven't seen any posts about this here yet so I am quite confused about this.
It seems Mi 11 series does not support Prime Video in HD, let alone FullHD, I had Mi 11 global version and it didn't support Prime Video in FullHD
Works perfectly for me I'm using eu rom latest mi 11 ultra
