As far as I know, "PlayReady 3.0" is a feature that has to be supported by your hardware... specifically the hardware that's playing 4k video for you.
As long as your 4k video is being decoded by a processor that supports it, there shouldn't be any further action required on your part.
Now, the Kabylake processor has hardware H.265 decoding, and supports PlayReady 3.0.... and supposedly is specifically listed as "compatible" with Netflix 4k.
The latest NVidia graphics card is also supposed to support PlayReady 3.0, but there seem to be issues or questions regarding its compatibility with Netflix 4k.
I wonder if, since you have a powerful graphics card, your computer has "decided" to allow the graphics card to do the H.265 decoding instead of the CPU....
If there are compatibility issues between Netflix 4k and your graphics card, then you may
HAVE to do your video decoding in the CPU to get it to work.
To get that to happen, you may have to "disable video acceleration" somewhere (to force the decoding to occur in the CPU rather than the more powerful GPU in the graphics card).
This might be a video setting in Windows (probably in the config utility for your graphics card), or a setting in Netflix, or in your BIOS, or may even require multiple settings in different places.
(I think I would Google around and see if you can find more details.... or try and contact Netflix directly since it seems to be their problem.)
Ok good to know. I'll try to post pictures of what I mean so that I can make sure I'm actually telling you the right thing.
Anybody know how to get Microsoft Playready 3.0 on windows 10?
