OK, so if USA with Thor Ragnarok with max quality and addon settings:
No L1: 1280x720 7.26 Mbit/s
L1: 1920x1080 14.12 MBit/s
L1 + H265: 1920x1080 10.65 MBit/s (H265 better encoding so less Mbit)
L1 + H265 + HDR10: 3840x2160 26.90 Mbit/s
L1 + H265 + DOLBY VISION: 3840x2160 27.65 Mbit/s
It only depends on what is your location when you login.
I can change to USA > Login > change back to NZ and still get above resolutions
But if I login NZ > change to USA > i still get the limited NZ streams
Different regions must allow different resolutions and this is stored in your login token
As they still request the same endpoints - only difference is the token they pass.
I'll pass that onto slyguy - i wonder if he can trick the location when logging in to unlock best resolutions for everyone.

We need more "subscription based" add-ons. Sincerely, there is no other versatile and precise media player available. Perhaps, If taken seriously this could slowly change the industry's perspective of the platform.
