Update Netflix-app to current standards and HD
I know the Netflix app essentially was a pet project of John Carmack and it was really great on GearVR at the time.
Now it looks like a neglected child and need an upgrade to match the wonderful new hardware of the Quest 2.
Please talk to the concerned parties (Netflix?). And John, if you´re seeing this: Blow some magic coding dust its way. Please?
Wishlist by order of priority:
*Update the streams to HD-material - 480p doesn´t look good. (never really did, but now it looks horrendous)
*Update textures in the enviroment (gives us more enviroments?), Passthrough as background?
*Ability to watch together with a friend or two.
*Ability to download videos to the device.
*Give some love to Void Theatre and let us choose backdrops, color schemes or even passthrough + some more control on curvature of the screen.
*Maybe integrate it as an Oculus-TV-app?

Sadly, the best way to watch Netflix on the Oculus quest 2 is using Virtual Desktop. It looks awesome that way. Unlike Netflix, Amazon prime video looks great, especially if you increase texture resolution up to 2048 on sidequest.

The built-in Netflix app with 480p is UNACCEPTABLE for Quest 2. Why does it not support AT LEAST 1080p?

Got the quest 2 a couple days ago and it would be great to have 1080p quality with netflix.

I PAY for the Ultra HD premium Netflix package.
I can watch free YouTube videos in 4K resolution on the quest 2.
I can watch Amazon Prime videos in 1440p on the quest 2.
But... Netflix looks like poo on the Quest 2 (which almost rhymes).

the ability to move screen shouldnt be hidden. It should be the default setup. I dont always sit upright watching TV, neither do most others.
Also, why do no video streaming services show the 3d versions of movies?

This would be so amazing. Netflix for sure would be one of the apps I would use in the Quest 2 on a regular basis, no doubt! (If it only had at least Full HD resolution). It is hard to bring myself to watch Netflix in Q2 in 480p.

Quest 2 is now my primary method of watching content. Not sure it makes much sense to keep my netflix subscription if there is insufficient support for this headset. This is such a missed opportunity by Netflix. They should update with many awesome environments and create a Netflix VR experience showing off the latest tech.
