Hi Everyone,

I'm an android developer and I recently acquired a chinese android box from VideoStrong : Meecool KM8 google certified
As you know Netflix android TV version are prohibited or limited for these android TV Box.
I try so many version linked on XDA forum, freaktabs, etc... without success.
I finally found the Netflix [3.2.2-Android TV Mod] apk by tork24 (DeaLabs.com) which is working in HD but NOT in ULTRAHD
So I decided to rummage the official netflix app, and I found that Netflix app looks for some system properties that I want to share.
Here, there are :
sys.amazon.devicename
sys.display-size
vendor.display-size
ro.nrdp.modelgroup
ro.vendor.nrdp.modelgroup
ro.nrdp.oemmodel
ro.vendor.nrdp.oemmodel

I found how to run Netflix in ULTRAHD mode :

Requirement:
- Download the Netflix [3.2.2-Android TV Mod] apk by tork24 : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qkK...8F4X-Ywcg/view
- You need a box with Google widevine L1 available
- Find a way to hide that your android box is rooted or unrooted after modifying build.prop

Follow these steps

1/ Your android box is rooted
- add/modify this line to your /system/build.prop :
ro.nrdp.modelgroup=FIRETVSTB2015
sys.display-size=3840x2160
- Unroot your box

2/Your box is NOT rooted
- Enable Debug USB mode
- type this command
adb ro.nrdp.modelgroup FIRETVSTB2015
adb sys.display-size 3840x2160

3/I DON'T UNDERSTAND

Don't worry I made an app that do the job for you.
You'll just have to launch it, instead of netflix app.
You can download it here :

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qKD...DLs91A4uy/view
or

I hope this thread can help you to enjoy Netflix ULTRAHD.
This method also work to use the Netflix app (6.17 build version) form the PlayStore, but only for HD.
Just ignore the error -14 message the first time you launch my app.
Sorry for my bad English.
If you want to let me a cookie, it is there :

PS : I'm working to how to exploit the ro.nrdp.oemmodel system property. If anyone have an idea...

It works in Mecool M8s Pro W?

In netfllix search you type "test pattern" and then you can test resolution. The maximum is 960*540

Thanks !

I was ready to buy Original Xiaomi Mi TV Box Official International Version from GB, but this is what the manufacturer answered to a question about Netflix license:
"Sorry, it has not the official streaming license of the Netflix."
So, can we be sure that this Xiaomi box will always be able run Netflix in HD ?

Mi boxes have original Netflix licenses, the support staff must be confused.

[mparahir]

thats the phone version and doesn't have HD

Yes it is a mobile app.
In order not to see netflix at all, good is playing at mecool kiii pro

I think only Mi Box S has the license aggreement (remote control with netflix button)

No. The original Mi Box sold by walmart does netflix fine.

[fandango-fr]

M8s Pro L DID netflix fine... WILL the original Mi Box do netflix fine in the next days, next weeks, next months ? Who knows ?

Yes, since it's a Netflix approved device.
Just get the Mi box S as they are the same price and you also then have a Netflix button on the ir remote.

It's a good advice but I personally have no use of a box with 1 USB port, no Ethernet port, no SD card slot and 8G ROM

Try and this mod HD one if it's working!

So I have a feeling that videostrong knew this was coming, because I received 2 new LB boxes and the firmware had the mobile version of Netflix installed by default..
