Post by: kanariepiet on June 25, 2015, 02:30:00 PM

Hi Guys,

I have a lot of interest in the Himedia Q5 mediaplayer i.c.w. Kodi en Netlfix but 1 question I have cannot find the answer: Is it possible to play HD 8) Netflix or is it only SD :'(

I want to order this player but without HD Netflix I will not buy it.

Thanks for the answers.

I know I must use the Android app so that's not the problem I only want to know if the app outputs HD or only SD.
For me it doesn't matter if it is HD @ 50 Hz, 60 Hz or 24 Hz

The standard Netflix Android app always outputs in SD. On all Android platforms. 480p.

It's a Netflix problem. By limiting their HD service to certain platforms (e.g. Apple / Google) it gives them some influence over the hardware providers. I doubt it will change.

unless an Android device is Google Widevine Level 1 certified, 720x480p is the Max resolution.

There are a whole bunch of detailed specific requirements, training etc that needs to be met as well to get certified.

there is any plans to himedia ask certification?
On europe streaming web provider  become more and with good service.  ;)
