Netflix New Version 6.1.7.0: netflix movie only 960 x 540

[peter777]

I have downloaded some new series episodes to test with the new version 6.1.7.0. So far everything is ok. Only with the film "Equalizer 3" StreamFab only offers me a resolution of 960 x 540. Is this again a problem with DRM or a problem with a studio?

Since mid Oct 2023 NF only offers 540p for Sony and Universal Movies, if Widevine
Software Decryption is used. Better quality is only with Hardware Decryption.

NF own Production are not affected (FullHD or more - depending on the subscription) {source}

"Equalizer 3" Film Production is Columbia Pictures
is a member of the Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group

Not on Windows Chromium based browser - devices with Widevine L1 certification, like TVs

Edge can playing 1080p using PlayReady (if HDCP conform, i.e. no 2nd Monitor) ..
.. but playing does not automatically mean being able to decode (getting Keys) !

=> No software I know can do this at the moment

OK, so unplugging the monitor doesn't help either. Not a good outlook...
