    Thanks for your kind help and so the team's.

    This is unbelievable. I have 2 laptops. One of them is for gaming and second one is for work. Gaming laptop using multi-gpu and AMD is dedicated and work laptop is basic AMD. This is how i could not see the problem's source. My mistake is just focused to software.

    According to your tip, i checked the gpu, AMD is dedicated for default on my gaming laptop so that not able to run 1080p. I tried to disable but could not solve the problem. I will read some more information about this matter.

    After the team's solution, i checked with my girlfriend's laptop which is using nvidia and see that all is fine with 1080p.

    Now i have different problem and i hope can find solution.
    By the way, hey Coddy looks like your right 🙂

    Thanks again to all team and you.

Can't reproduce.
I have the same build as you and I don't face any issue in playing 1080p Netflix content, no flags set.
Might be worth giving a link to the content you are facing this issue with.

    I tired with several contents. Pls stream a video and while on it, Cntrl+Alt+Shift and Press D. Let me know your resolution (playing bitrate)

      I am aware of that shortcut and that is what I used to confirm my 1080p playback.
      Also media is playing with avc1 encoder in Netflix for me. Haven't seen hevc in a while, be it COVID be it might be used only for 2K and 4K content or just my selection of movies and shows I watch.
      I've now tested with both PlayReady DRM flag set to Default and Enabled, getting 720p only with the flag Disabled.
      Also you can go to edge://components to check Widevine CDM. See if it has a normal status and if it's updated.
      Ultimately you can test you browser's DRM support on this https://bitmovin.com/demos/drm , now on the page you'll get a report of the DRMs systems detected on your browser under the EME section.

        Coddy Our devs found it curious that you aren't getting 720p. If you haven't yet, can you please submit feedback and diagnostic data through the browser? (Shift + Alt + I ) This potentially seems like a separate issue.

         

        Thanks!
