netflix-1080p-firefox's Issues

no longer working since 12/09.

I've tried this plugin and for a few days it was working great, however since yesterday it is no longer working.

For every movie I get UI3010.

Disabling the plugin makes netflix work again, but of course not in 1080p.

Seems to me Netflix changed something that breaks the plugin, or is there anything I could try on my side?

Netflix error code M7111-1309

We've used Ubuntu 16.04 with Firefox and it worked great for months. Four days ago we switched to Opensuse Tumbleweed and it also worked flawlessly. But since two days we get the error M7111-1309.

We're in the middle of an episode of 'Luke Cage' and can watch that episode and also 'How I met your mother' is working great, but everything else isn't working anymore.

Not working:

Brooklyn Nine-Nine
iZombie

That's what the Firefox developer console shows when I want to watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine:

Manifest locked to Edge (or not available in 1080p) cadmium-playercore-6.0009.934.051.js:34560:37

Acquisition successful, commence playback cadmium-playercore-6.0009.934.051.js:34563:37

Watching the test pattern works great in 1080p. Can I provide any more information to help you out?

Everything is playing at 720p

Hi, I wrote my own Firefox Add-on based on https://github.com/truedread/netflix-1080p and It did not worked as everything was playing at 720p. I though that I wrote it wrong as this was my first try at Firefox Add-ons. However, Later I tried your version and It also played at the same resolution and I did cleared the Cached Web Content.

Edit: Sorry for bothering you. I got your Add-on working perfectly. You can go ahead close this issue.

(March 2023) Extension removed from Mozilla website

The extension is no longer available, following the link from the readme says:

If you’ve followed a link from another site for an extension or theme, that item is no longer available.

I'm not sure when exactly it was removed, but it couldn't have been that long ago.

Firefox 63.0.1 error code M7111-1331-2206

Problem with plugin since updating firefox.

Confirmed disabling the plugin fixes the issue.

Could you look into this?

regards

Playback always failing

Netflix Playback always fails with error code M7363-1260.
When extention is disabled, playback works fine again.

Tested both with firefox (59.0.2) and firefox nightly (61.0a1).

Error code M7355 started occuring tonight disabling addon resolves.

not sure if netflix updated something however as i was watching a show the player advanced to the next episode and gave a M7355 error. restarting firefox did not resolve the issue nor did clearing cache or cookies the only way I was able to get netflix to function again was disabling the addon

Wish the addon shows a button in firefox toolbar to quickly enable or disable 1080p

Wish the addon shows a button in firefox toolbar to quickly enable or disable 1080p. Useful when Netflix version updates and addon is not working anymore or only working for some videos and some not.

Shortcut is inconvenient

Great tool to use for Netflix.

However, since I have to override Netflix every time, I really wish there was an easier shortcut to press. Something I could do with just one hand instead of using both.

I'd suggest changing the shortcut to something simpler (e.g. ALT + S would work and wouldn't interfere with any default browser shortcuts), or providing us with an option to change the shortcut to something else.

It'd be even greater if the override could be set to autoclick itself every time I started a new video, but that would probably be a tall order.

Thanks

bitrate menu keeps popping up by itself

is there a way to prevent this? thanks.

No Longer Working as of Today

The Chrome version of this plugin still works, but in the current version of Firefox, this plugin no longer works. Was confirmed working 3 days ago.

Fix: Changing the user agent to Chrome lets it function in Firefox again.

There is a new add-on in "addons.mozilla.org"

My OS is Ubuntu 18.04.3. I uninstalled firefox that come's native whith Ubuntu, and install it as snap. Then I go to "add-on" menu and search in "addons.mozilla.org", there I found a new add-on to see NETFLIX 1080p. This extension is from Mr_Pryor and works very good in my Firefox.

Most Hollywood movies aren't available in 1080p

For example, Hugo is only available in 480p max, Dunkirk in 540p max. Most series seem to work, also Indian movies play in 1080p. Can't say about other regions. All of these play in Full HD in my Android, so I know it's available.

NetFlix changes JS code.. Firefox loops with infinite recursion

today FF76 stopped playing NetFlix streams, and stopped with an infinite recursion in the playercode.

After disabling the 1080p addon, code worked again.
reenabling the addon did reveal a different bug.

ATM: the 1.9 version of this addon is not useable.

Error M7353-5101 with latest version

Since the latest version most movies work in 1080p again, thanks! But some movies crash with error code M7353-5101 instead to fall back to a lower resolution if 1080p isn't possible.

Some movies which crash for me are The Martian and Annihilation (German Netflix).

Addon Version: 1.7
Firefox: Nightly 65
OS: Linux Mint 19

Doesn’t work with user agent above Firefox/57.0

The plugin doesn’t work with newer user agents. To be more specific my user agent is Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0.
I tried different agents and the latest version that seems to work is 57 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0).
The same applies to Windows user agents: These also work only until version 57.

5.1 surround was working in Version 1.7 only stereo available in 1.8

Your add-on is awesome but for me the best feature was 5.1 surround.
In version 1.8 the only option is stereo again. Is this deliberate?
I've reverted back to 1.7 for the surround sound.
Once again though, awesome extension!

Capped at 540p with VP9

Watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine and How I Met Your Mother I am getting stuck at 540p max quality.
I suspect this is the case for all shows encoded in VP9.
Would it be possible for someone else to verify this?
Is there maybe a way to add support for VP9 as well, or to pretend the browser has no VP9 support and use the H264 fallback as a workaround

[suggestion] 1080p and 2160p possible?

Can you add support for 2160p to see a 4K-Video on a 1440p or 1080p Monitor?
That would be really great :)
With the test video - which is available in 4K according to the title - the add-on only switches to a maximum of 1080p.

Doesn't work with Arrested Development

For some reason when playing Arrested Development the loader just spins. Here's the console output, if it means anything.

m7363-1260 unexpected error

I've rebooted + reloaded browser + cleared cookies.
Ubuntu Linux + Firefox latest. All titles, works without extension

cadmium-playercore-1080p.js too large to parse.

Can't get a signature

netflix throws UI3010 error

Netflix is giving ui3010 error but if I disable the plugin , it starts working

Add-on no longer available as Firefox Add-On

Just wondering if there's any word on when/if it'll be back up?

Installation instructions would be nice

I'm not sure how to install the file, I've read that I need to drag the manifest.json file into the extensions, but the browser sais its corrupted, it would also be nince if you published an xpi file for easier installation.

[feature] Is it at all possible to use this same trick to force ultra HD streams ?

Just wondering if it will be possible to use the same trick with 4k streams especially now that netflix is focusing more on original series and if so when can we expect a 4k plugin?

Not working for FireFox 52 Esr

It seems that the addon isn't working for older versions of FireFox.
I need it to work for version 52.9 Esr since this is the last version of FireFox that works on Windows XP.
Usually I prefer using Windows XP, so it'd be great if I can watch Netflix in 1080p without having to boot in Windows 10.
Thanks to this thread, I managed to get Netflix to work in XP in 720p using FireFox with Silverlight.
So, is there any chance to make the Netflix 1080p addon compatible with FireFox 52.9 Esr?
Or are there older versions of the addon that I can download?
Looking here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/force-1080p-netflix/versions/
It says that all the versions should be working with firefox 48 and later..
So, how come it isn't working with firefox 52?

Error M7399-1260 as of today

Disabled the add-on, Netflix works. Locale is Greece.

Not working on firefox for Android

Doesn't work on Android Firefox. Please support it, as many users use widevine l1 non supported Android tablets and smartphones to watch Netflix, and in Netflix app HD is then not supported due to DRM.

Player reverts to 720p after a few minutes

The player starts at a magnificient 1080p but after a couple of minutes switches back down to 720p. A website reload fixes this.

I'm using Firefox 60 on ArchLinux with the latest published addon version and I have more than enough bandwidth available to exclude the connection as the problem source.
