Some titles don't show 1080p option anymore #9

Last two days some movies don't run in 1080p any longer (series I've tested for some reason don't seem affected). I've checked in the Netflix app to be certain they all have 1080p. For example - Sorry to Bother You, Zodiac, The Big Lebowski, Theory of Everything etc'. They all run in 960x540.

Hopefully you can fix it. Thank you.

I'm afraid that Netflix changed the DRM on these titles, which doesn't allow us to play higher quality versions anymore. Until someone figures out a way around it, it seems likely that more and more licensed titles will switch to some sort of stricter DRM, killing the ability to play the 1080p versions. If someone does figure it out, I'll port the workaround/fix to this extension of course.

Thanks. I'm curious, how do you know Netflix changed DRM on titles? Is there a way to check/test it? Is there a way to check what specific DRM is used?

I don't know for sure, but it certainly seems that way, according to some past discussions:

I'm using 1.22.0 version. I didn't test all. but Zodiac do have 1080p to choose.
