Max quality which works for me on my Sony Android TV 4kHDR is 2560X1440 with bitrate to max 16Mb/s...if i choose higher it works maybe 20-40sec and then stop...
As I see all 3 streams with "4k" resolution and HDR use only H.265 video codec
Original app with 4k HDR movies works but i cant see at which resolution and bitrate...
Netflix addon work at max resolution 3840X2160 and bitrate up to 30Mb/s...picture is inferior compare with HBOMax... probably use H.264 codec...
I set Playback Quality option to Custom and Max Bandwith to 20Mb/s and for now always get resolution 2560X1440 if available...if not 1920X1080 is just OK...

Oh. 5.1 widevine on Android has some issues. Can you try on Kodi 20 please.
No point comparing to official app. Kodi system is entirely different.

You mean issues in Kodi? Because I don't see any issue since official app HBO_Max work perfect with Dolby Vision.
And also Netflix addon (plugin.video.netflix-1.18.4+matrix.1) in Kodi works perfect with Dolby Vision + Dolby Atmos.
One more thing, yesterday when I was trying an older HBO_Max version (0.8.8) I could choose UHD stream versions, and today I can choose only HD versions; UHD are not on offer. Maybe it's an HBO Geo location limit...
Anyhow I will also try Kodi 20 version tomorow...
Btw, does "inputstream adaptive" have any influence on systems with certified L1 Widevine? Under "Video decoder" info I have: "amc-hevc(S)(HW)
