Forces 1080p and 5.1 playback for Netflix.
Image from store
Description from store
A way to finally watch Netflix in the highest quality possible. This extension forces 1080p FHD playback, as well as the option to force 5.1 AAC playback.
Normally, Netflix only plays back a maximum of 720p and AAC2.0. However, with this extension, those restrictions can finally be removed.
***
Out of the box, Netflix-1080p just forces 1080p AVCHi streams to be included in the streams for playback. However, there are a few options you may tweak in the extension's options menu (all left unchecked by default):
- Use 5.1 audio when available: Netflix normally plays back AAC2.0 in 64kbps and 96kbps. However, by checking this option, you override those streams for 128kbps AAC5.1, which can take advantage of surround sound setups!
- Automatically select best bitrate available: Checking this option allows you to always playback the highest quality streams, no matter how fast Netflix thinks your connection is.
- Use VP9 instead of H.264: For older computers, decoding VP9 in software can be faster and more efficient than decoding H.264 in software. Check this option if you notice slowdown or dropped frames with 1080p AVC playback.
***
This extension is free and will remain free. It is licensed under the MIT license, and is completely open source.
I welcome any and all contributions! GitHub is linked below.

- (2024-11-11) Sander Joosten: Doesn't work anymore on Chrome as of writing this review (nov. 11th 2024) I tried to play around with the options, resetting cache and other saved data on the browser, reinstall extentions, etc. Basically all the sollutions provided on their webpage.

- (2024-10-14) Seriamente Serio: Working again!
- (2024-10-02) Aria B: This extension is still working for me. I tried it with Vivaldi, Google and Brave. I think, the browsers should be on their latest version for the extension to work.
- (2024-08-24) Hammad Ahmad: Does not work anymore
- (2024-08-02) Jelle van Dijk: Used to work shortly. Doesnt anymore.
- (2024-07-14) Silas Kow: Stopped working but there is another addon called "New Netflix 1080p" that is currently working
- (2024-06-09) YourLocalMedic: Worked well until recently you can't watch anything with the extension on. Hopefully it gets fixed but I see it as unlikely given that the github hasn't been updated in 3 years
- (2024-06-06) Kuayue: Didn't work at all.
- (2024-04-18) Sarah: Still working for me on opera on linux
- (2024-04-17) Jason Arencibia: I've had this extension for awhile, I know it worked when I installed it. But I just disabled the few extensions I have due to it taking 30 seconds or more for Chrome to load, and one by one, I came to this extension as the cause, it instantly loads with even uBlock Origin, but 30 seconds with this extension. it's broken, has an external resource it can't load, something is causing it to silently error and take forever. it's the only explanation. EDIT: Exploring the extension files, I noticed it does have an options page which doesn't actually work from chrome's extension manager. editing the manifest file allowing the options page to load in tab again does make it work. but the long load time persists. it's not that... Whatever update was made last month has completely broken this extension. and not in a good way, if they couldn't get it to work, they should have it just disable itself, maybe a return true; that the head of the loader file to make it just not load.
- (2024-03-26) Anonymous Gamer: I had a Netflix error UI3013 This is the first problem I have with your extension, normally it works very well, thank you!
- (2024-03-25) Carlos Nunes: A update has happened an this plugin crashes Netflix playback, only after disabling it I'm able to play Netflix videos
- (2024-03-23) BaK: This has been flawless in order to get surround for years, today Netflix broke it. Error code UI3013 like everyone else. Hoping for an update to fix this! 1080p now seems to be native now, so we don't need it for that anymore <ctrl>+<shift>+<alt>+Q while not full screen and you can see the stats, to see if you are getting 1080p. if you need higher res or surround, there is another plugin that's been mentioned on the github page (linked in this extension's info), if you know how to enable developer mode, you can use that.
- (2024-03-22) Karl: Hi, I had a Netflix error UI3013, so I cleared the cookies, but still got the error message. Then I found on a site that it could be caused by a 1080p plugin for Netflix, so I disabled your extension and Netflix works normally again. I wanted to let you know. This is the first problem I have with your extension, normally it works very well, thank you!

Video is so much detailed and crisp now. **Check video resolution/bit rate using Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D **Make sure Playback setting in settings of Netflix website is set to HIGH. Using Chrome v121 / Windows 10 (v1607).
- (2024-01-23) Paul Chaffey: Absolutey prefect - Allows 5.1 with Netflix on Kubuntu 23.10 with wayland and output through a 7.1 Onkyo reciever.
- (2024-01-15) Martin Pavlas: Doubles size of subtitles
- (2024-01-07) Joga Aulakh: why not add the option to select the quality, it appears near the end of every episode so why not just add it as an option permanently
- (2024-01-03) Allison Luis: Não funcionando no Microsoft Edge Linux. Not working on Edge Linux.
- (2023-12-29) Niels Emmer: Only solution I found for getting 5.1 AC3 sound over SPDIF on Ubuntu. Works out of the box, excellent!
- (2023-12-25) Ariel Baldosano: Before, I can only watch 480p due to netflix DRM (which I read in a forum post that limits video quality if not using their proprietary application, and is also explain by Louis Rossmann in his video). Now, I can watch 1080p quality in netflix. So, ty for the extension. simple yet working correctly. like buying a plug n play switch. Before installing. Try watching a netflix videos and check the quality by pressing (CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + D) and look for "Playing bitrate". After that, install this. Refresh the page and check again. It should start playing at 1080p directly depending on your internet speed.
- (2023-12-23) Dekkka: Doesn't work
- (2023-12-21) Awais Saif: When I install this extension, Netflix gives an error. I cant play any video. After removing this extension, Netflix plays at 720 maximum. How to solve this problem?
- (2023-12-18) Deven Modi: amazin'
- (2023-12-03) Adil Can Akcan: This app is amazing but unfortunately, surround channels stopped working so only Left, Right, Center and Sub is working. It would be amazing to get an update for full 5.1 surround.
- (2023-11-23) Debopam Roy: I didn't even know Netflix was cheating its customers out of a half decent resolution and always thought my monitor was just bad or uncalibrated. What an eye opener.
- (2023-11-21) Unknown User: funktioniert leider nicht wirklich hab immer noch pixelbrei trotz sehr gutem internet und pc
- (2023-11-17) Danielle Miller: No change on vivaldi and chrome, and yes user settings on netflix is already set to 1080p/highest but it keeps dropping me to 320p with no internet issues.
