NETLIX no longer works in 1080p

[gort818]

Netflix has changed something once again I am not sure I can do anything about it!

I was using an older modified version of https://github.com/truedread/netflix-1080p
It no longer works and his newer version does not work for QtWebFlix as it relies on mutliple files and I can only intercept the playercore file not sure how to get it working now.

Sorry guys.. But if you really need that 1080p use the extension on chrome linked above.

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Thanks!

For the firefox users there is https://github.com/vladikoff/netflix-1080p-firefox btw

Unfortunately mozilla has banned the addon from it's store though, so other install methods are needed.

@magiruuvelvet maybe you can do a lookover.. afaik you coded the 1080p part this software uses. Many users would really appreciate this!
else ..

Bumping this issue. In the meantime, isn't it possible to mitigate this by allowing 720p or lower?

[gort818]

@petrmanek Already did.. unfortunately looks like we cant even get 720p anymore.

@gort818 Anything I can do to help?

[gort818]

@petrmanek Well i got 720p to work again by changing the user agent to an up to date firefox one.
users using chrome and this extension also cannot use 1080p https://github.com/truedread/netflix-1080p..

Just Linux users getting screwed again.

You can take a look at that extension and see if there is anyway to get it working and how to implement it.

Just so you guys know, the firefox 1080p addon works flawlessy for months already on linux :)

@Nuc1eoN Not anymore vladikoff/netflix-1080p-firefox#28 (comment)

[Nuc1eoN]

@gort818 not for me, I have just tested it actually

(However I did not install it manually as written there)

[gort818]

@Nuc1eoN do you know what version of the addon you are using?

[Nuc1eoN]

do you know what version of the addon you are using?

Yes I am using v1.8

[Termuellinator]

i can confirm that it seems to be working again currently (1.8). Lets hope it stays that way and it was just a hiccup

The addon seems to be broken again.
EDIT: It is not, that was my fault.

It might be of interest that the Netflix plugin for Kodi can play 1080p on Linux, if you enable the setting to "spoof HDCP". So I presume that the problem is that Netflix will no longer allow 1080p content without HDCP present on the output (which, as of now, is never the case on Linux).

I admit that I have no idea how the widevine plugin actually works, so I don't know whether the plugin for chromium can even check for HDCP or not. But if it can, maybe the HDCP spoof can be applied for qtwebflix as well?
That is, if it is legal for @gort818 to include something like this in this repository. I am neither a lawyer nor living in the US, so I have no idea how the situation there is on "breaking DRM" if you have actually paid for the content.
