As for Netflix, they are becoming junk. I am even considering talking to my cable company and having them drop it.
Netflix still insisting on giving me many movies only in 540p uggg
As for Amazon, I can't say. I noticed for certain providers you have to try different profiles from main to high back to main and others from H265 to H264, and others from H254 to H265 to see what rates I get.On or about the end of 2024 I will be losing access to Netflix Standard.
After that, I might reevaluate if I want Netflix Standard /w Ads.
I will continue to have access to Amazon w/ Ads and Peacock w/ Ads.
TheCW, Pluto, Roku Channel, Tubi, and Plex, along with others, are good FREE w/ Ads services.

Like the yellow banner says, 540p is just for Sony movies and cannot be solved. Everything else should be ok, though.
For me, Amazon bitrates are usually fine (I'm in Poland).
Also, just in case: remember to always test both High and Main profile for H264 Netflix - the bitrates can vary significantly. Usually, for 1080p, the Main profile has consistently around 5000kpbs, while the High profile can have anything between 1000-9000 kbps and seems kind of random, even between the episodes of the same season.

StreamFab 6.1.8.8 can download both variants.

This is x264 High Profile:
Open the "Hamburger Menu" (3 lines top right) select Settings
- click left on VIP Services
- right under "Netflix Settings" you must
- change "H264 Profile" from "High" to "Main"
- click ok and try again
et voila

I LMAO every time someone gets so worked up about bitrates, especially when comparing between profiles. It's not even apples and oranges, it's apples and cucumbers. There are so many other important factors besides bitrate. A little reading would go a long way.
The other thing that I wonder about, what is your ultimate goal in downloading a movie? Do you want to watch the movie, or are you more interested in making sure that every pixel is aligned just properly in relation to all the other pixel on the screen? The same is true for sound. You've got people that have their panties all in a bunch because they can't download a certain movie with Atmos sound, never mind that they only have the stereo soundbar that came with their TV and any hope of getting even a simple 5.1 setup any time soon is nothing more than a pipe dream.
