Hey everyone,
My Chromecast with Google TV 4K updated itself this morning, and ever since, HDR is no longer working on Netflix...
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
Unfortunately, none of these steps have fixed the problem. Other apps are handling HDR fine.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Any tips or workaround?
Thanks!

Edit: The website 4kfilmdb.com helped me figure out a workaround! Connecting to a VPN temporarily fixes the HDR issue on Netflix. Hope this helps anyone experiencing similar issue... I've reported this issue to both Netflix and Google!
Potential reasons: "This could be due to a Netflix CDN issue or a DRM handshake problem, both likely triggered by the Chromecast update. The VPN workaround works by bypassing any problematic CDN or forcing Netflix to renegotiate the content delivery." -- by 4KFilmDb
