Netflix H.265?

Smiggy

Hello,

When I download anything from Amazon Prime or Disney +, there is an option to select H.264 or H.265, but I never get that options on Netflix, why?

Hi, not sure why they do not ask when prompt after analyzing, but if you go to Settings -> Preferences -> VIP Services -> Netflix, You can schoose your codec there.
If it is not availeble it should fallback on H264 if i'm correct.

Maybe someone else can confirm my suggestion as i do not use it normally.

Just to clarify, H.265 is only available for Netflix shows, and only if you're subscribed to Netflix+. For non-Netflix content, even with the correct subscription, it will default to H.264. Is this correct?"

It's already answered in linked topic:

Movies and TV Shows made by Netflix will be available in H265 HDR
Movies and TV Shows not made by Netflix will be available in H264
.. You can tell what is made by Netflix because of the N at the top left of the thumbnail.

And HDR10 always requires NF Premium Plan - it's not available with NF Standard plan - s. here

If you prefer smaller files for non NF Original content, use AV1 (or VP9)

I'm after H.265, not bothered about sound.

I will settle for the normal plan.

I cannot dl a title in H265 from NF with the Standard plan.
This is not offered by NF Standard.
