HD video playback from streaming services

Apart from the obvious nautical themed solutions, are there any ways around streaming services not allowing HD video playback on Linux? Prime video is the one I’ve noticed it with the most, I haven’t tried Disney plus yet but I’m expecting it to be similar. I’ve been dual booting for a while now and this is the main thing keeping me on Windows at the moment.

No as you can not bypass DRM. DRM is designed to block your control of your machine.

Seriously, DRM is the problem. There’s no one benefitting from it except for large corporations who have a stranglehold on content.

I had this problem so I just hit the high seas for a much better experience. Then I cancelled my service because clearly they didn’t want my business.

I haven’t noticed since I started exclusively using plex for all of my media except YouTube. Highly recommend.

Personally what I have seen so far, Netflix and Disney+Hotstar (here a popular OTT platform Hotstar and Disney merged and this is the result) works pretty well and I can watch it HD (never tried 4K because I don’thave any 4K device). It’s just Amazon Prime that doesn’t just HD playback among all the OTT services I have used so far.

Ah ok, I’d heard Netflix had the issue as well but I don’t use it so I couldn’t confirm. Maybe it’s time to reconsider my prime subscription, although I do still use it for 1 day delivery

You’re never going to stream above 720p/1080p on Linux from any service besides YouTube.
