To summarize,
KM3 can run Netflix UHD because it is Google certified
M8S cannot because not certified
Correct me if I'm wrong

netflix needs hevc h.265
you mean m8pro l not hevc h.265 certified?
My reading of the posts is this :-
1. It's important to have a base which is Widevine L1 to start with.
2. And then you run a magic program provided by a nerd there. From what he described, it should work with any device which is Widevine L1 certified, but he cannot guarantee that.
3. He could not post the magic program under day light, because he worries that will cause the spoofing to be blocked by Netflix.

Some thoughts about the fix we're using.
1. It "whitelists" our KM3s by spoofing a Firestick, a Netflix-certified device. That's the function of the fix file.
2. The spoof persists and survives reboots (to my surprise) even though our boxes are not rooted and thus will not permit permanent changes to system. (Of course, if we had root, Netflix wouldn't run at all, but that's a different kettle of fish).
3. It would not surprise me if, from time to time, something else running on our boxes breaks the spoof, which after all is not engraved in stone, so to speak. We'd then lose HD and get error messages.
4. The solution would be to start over: uninstalling and reinstalling the two files should restore the spoof.
Given how aggressively Netflix patrols its service, the day may come when the fix just stops working. But for now, it seems to be holding up, even if a reinstall is occasionally necessary.
