Amazon and Google restricted legitimate use a lot on PC, so you can get FHD on a few browsers only. If you're using Kodi on something like a Firestick, Chromestick, Nvidia Shield or other Android based devices, you can use HDCP bypass or native playback applications. The addon can provide content up to 4k resolution, then depending on what you have you might be limited to SD. That's out of our control.Netflix is 1080p (sw decoding) on Kodi. Prime Video on Android is 1080p/HDR in my location. But Prime Video on Kodi is SD. What I want to ask for, is there any workaround/addon setting to try to force 1080p, or 720p. That's no geolocation nor hw limitation.
If Kodi manages to get HDCP working we might get back 1080p. And maybe there's a different solution on Windows platforms. But yeah, as it stands it's literally easier to crack widevine and decrypt content than support the DRM legitimately, and that's by their design. It's stupid as hell.
