I'm getting a mix of standard and high definition with the add-on running CoreELEC. I think it just depends on how Netflix serves up the movies and how the add-on deals with them on its particular platform.
I was wrong - it IS platform specific. Apparently content owners (Disney et al.) will restrict Netflix's streaming quality to SD on certain platforms (Kodi, certain web browsers). For Solo/Antman and the Wasp 1080P you will need Edge/IE 10, Windows 10 official Netflix App and possibly other hardware platforms.
In short, it's a DRM issue.

Good to know. This is terrible. Kinda doesn't incentivize me trying to support legit streaming via Kodi. At least for certain companies like Disney. I mean... resctricting it to even below 720p which is nowhere near top of the line these days and is considered SD by some...
Anyway...
I have another problem with the Nettflix addon that I keep on forgetting to bring up but is rather annoying. It constantly forgets my credentials particularly if I reboot my NUC.
I upgraded OpenELEC to 9.1 and I upgraded from Kodi Leia 18.1 to 18.3 recently. Someone said they thought I was using Kodi 17 but that was wrong. It of course didn't help the aforementioned DRM issue and it didn't help the credentials issue and it seems to have broken HD audio formats for me to my A/V receiver.
I kinda blame the latter problems on the old TV I'm stuck with though as it seems to cause audio issues. I'm upgrading to a new 4kTV for my birthday (tomorrow) though so hopefully that helps with the audio stuff.
