Hi guys,
After I updated to MIUI 13 I noticed that now my phone supports Dolby Vision.
But today when I went to play Netflix, Widevine support vanished.
I've tried reinstalling Netflix and factory resetting my phone.
The app DRM Info detects Widevine L1 but Netflix insists that's Widevine L3.
I've also called Netflix support and they told me there's nothing they can do.
Does anybody know how can I fix this ?
My phone is still running stock, non rooted and locked bootloader.
Thanks for any help
Yes, you're right, but netflix hdr movies were almost unwatchable before. But the question is, if now is only L3, does this mean the streams are not really in Dolby Vision format? Or only the resolution is lower? I suppose Netflix correctly expose the type of stream they are sending to the device (and now indeed they specify Dolby Vision) unlike HBO max for example.
I guess it's still L1 because of DRM Info.
But if I stream something on Netflix it'll look like crap because of the low resolution (SD).
Netflix is playing using L3.
Using Netflix on this phone is hell. If not black crush in crappy looking HDR content, then resolution issues... Just why? Same issue on MIUI 13 stable beta.
Also Dark Mode for individual apps disappeared.

I was about to unlock the bootloader for my H840 but note that the LG site says the DRM will be lost, which could lead to issues with streaming video services. Based on my experience of using custom rom on my old Galaxy S4 and what I've read on these forums, I'm comfortable that Netflix and Amazon Prime will work. However, services such as Google Play Movies, Vudu, Fandango Now, CinemaNow and Flixster Video would not play video at all or would only play in SD with a custom rom.
Can anyone confirm if these streaming video services play in HD with a bootloader-unlocked LG G5? Thanks.

Well in the current market if you want the ability to stream from premium services keeping the bootloader locked is best case. Not sure on how many of those others will behave but just recently Netflix switched to Widevine level 1 drm which in current state blocks install on unlocked bootloaders/rooted devices (http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/0...rootedunlocked-devices-app-still-working-now/).
While it works on sideload currently i wouldn't count on it staying that way forever. So yea in this current market if you want premium streaming working/ in hd you got to keep system pure and unmodified.
Hello everyone,
I just noticed that some YouTube videos are running in HDR (Boost of color and luminosity) even though the honor V10 is not supposed to be HDR ready.
I tried on Netflix but there's nothing indicated so I guess it doesn't work.
I am running the android 10 beta.
Does anyone have this behaviour ? (Android 9 or 10)
Best regards
Same here in Android 9.1.
When playing a HDR video all the color get vibrant(very punchy and saturated).
Somethings kicks in because even the drop down menu/toggles and the search results have vibrant colors while playing the video.
Later later edit: DRM info says that HDR is suported
Does Netflix widevine L1 full hd playback works in Miui 11 Android 10 ?
Global unrooted yes, rooter I dont know.
It's not working for me too. It only shows Widevine L3 in NetFlix app and only SD playback resolution, even though it shows as Widevine L1 in DRM check.

Nothing seems to be working. Switched to Havoc and used Netflix root guide by editing build.prop. Now it's working..
I just got the device yesterday and installed amazon prime video app to find out the best option available is 0.46 GB/hr and if I'm guessing correctly that's 480p. I come from xiaomi poco f1 and the best option available there was 1.82 GB/hr. From online reviews and DRM info, I can see that LG G8X has widevine L1 license certification. So does this device not support HD streaming in prime video or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.

Is it the same on Youtube and Netflix?
This is true sadly. I believe a software update can resolve this. Netflix plays full hd and hdr videos work as they should on YouTube.
I'm seeing the same max of 0.46 GB/hr. Strange.
I've recently bought a Xiamoi 11i 5G, everything is great but when I cast the phone to my smart TV it lags a lot! I don't understand why it is happening. Prior to this I had Redmi Note 4 and on it the casting use to work perfectly no matter what video resolution you download 1080p, 720p it used to play smoothly. I usually download movies and series on my phone and watch it on my TV via cast so it's a big issue for me.
I have kept the refresh rate at 60 Hz, I also tried downloading the latest version of Xiaomi Cast & Mi Connect but the issue still prevails.
I use VLC Media Player on my phone to play and even in that I have kept the casting conversion quality to the lowest, so I am running out of options of how to fix it.
Kindly look into and this and advise me what to do, it will be great help.
