320p? I've seen 540p iirc, which was already terrible. Interestingly, a Windows VM made higher resolutions available, but I didn't want to watch a (tearing) slide show either.

At least I don't have to come up with a reason to justify piracy.

Its been some time since i last had prime.

but got the free trial today doing some christmas orders.

Now it just flat out refuses to let me watch video. Demands I enable Widevine content decryption module in my browser, which I don't have.. and isnt available on firefox (at least on linux) according to the mozilla add-on page/search.

edit

had to enable drm in the preferences for the option to even show up, aaaaand with it enabled and widevine installed, its still a blurry low resolution mess. Fucking amazin.

Yes, sadly, DRM is necessary to use many streaming services, be it Spotify, Crunchyroll, or Netflix.

At least Widevine works on Linux. Without Widevine copyright holders would probably demand some Windows-/macOS-only DRM that'd be probably even worse.

Edit: Just remembering Flash gives me shudders.

Widevine doesnt seem to work very well if i'm watching 4 pixels instead of 4k, lol.

Well, my point was more about Spotify and other sites which only require basic DRM.

But yeah, I also consider the quality inacceptable. It's why I bought storage for my server to start sailing the high seas with automatic downloads.

I swear to god I'm about to start doing it to.

Im a fucking customer, that is paying, or has paid, and still wont let me watch the shit.. So whats the point of giving my money?

had a lot of people offer to give me charts to the new seas, as mine are 20 years old at this point, and i am so dangerously close to finally accepting an offer.
