  1. I'm trying to view the highest quality stream from netflix on Chrome. I've been told by someone that they could see a stream at 4000kb/s but the highest I'm able to view is ~1000kb/s. I know there are tools to help find up to a 640kbps audio stream even though using shift+alt+opt+s shows 196kbps as being the highest. Is there something similar for finding various hidden video bitrates as well?

    I don't know of a way to force Netflix bitrate. You get what they give you. CTRL ALT SHIFT D will give you the A/V data. Here's what I got on a 350 MBS Internet connection, Tiger King S1 E1

    It's not important the problem be solved, only that the blame for the mistake is assigned correctly

    Follow up, I used Audials 2022 and it was able to capture the same video at 1920x1080 @ 29.97 fps.

  4. Yeah you can force netflix to show a better resolution 1080p and 5.1 audio with this extension link >> https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/netflix-1080p/cankofcoohmbhfpcemhmaaeennfbnmgp goodluck

    Thanks! I currently use that extension (or something similar) to force 1080p playback and also force h264 instead of vp9. There's also a tampermonkey script that lets you find links to 640kbps 5.1 audio streams. I'm still baffled at how some people are able to achieve significantly higher video bitrates. I have an incredibly fast fios connection.

    View - as stated or download ?

    This is 2 different, very separate issues. One is child's play to sort out, the other is a little more involved. (An its a paid service so expect a thread ban.) RTR

    People are giving you suggestions to download various options, so what do you seek ?

    ha, I'm trying to phrase things so as to not get in trouble. I had asked an overt question in the past and got my wrist slapped so now I'm being cheeky.
    I'm familiar with the existence of the unnamed paid service but wanted to know if there are ways to find and grab a higher bitrate manually. I'm able to download a 1080p stream but like I said, it's apparently a much lower quality compared to what other people are able to achieve. Is everyone else using aforementioned paid service?

  8. You can get 1080p with around 4 - 7 Mbps bitrate and dolby 5.1 with a L3 cdm but for anything better you will need a L1 cdm, and that doesn't just bolt on to a script in the same way even if you had a working one. And too many requests will get it revoked.

  9. you are wrong, you may get avcMain and avcHigh by using L3, anything higher than 1080p on L3 is impossible

  10. So where am I wrong saying:

    You can get 1080p with around 4 - 7 Mbps bitrate and dolby 5.1 with a L3 cdm
