Android TV app on Sony 4K TV sets lowest quality as default

[wondermouse 0]

Hi,

The Emby Android TV app on my Sony 4K TV always shows the lowest quality version as the default version. Changing the playback quality settings does not make any difference.
Same behavior seen in the web client in Firefox, Chrome and MS Edge.

The Emby Android app on my phone shows the highest quality version as default without having to make any changes to the quality settings.

Not sure if this matters but I'm using this naming: <title> (year) <media>-<resolution>.<extension>
E.g.   Avatar (2009) Bluray-480p.mp4
         Avatar (2009) Bluray-1080p.mp4
         Avatar (2009) Bluray-2160p.mkv

What can I do to fix this?

 

Server: Mac mini (Mid 2011, i5, 16GB)
OS: macOS 10.13
Emby Server Version 4.6.4.0

Android TV
Sony KD-55XF9005
Android Version 9
Emby client Version 2.0.41g

Androd Mobile

Android 11
Emby client Version 3.2.05

Hi.  Would all of the versions direct play?

Hi ebr,

Yes, they all direct play.

Okay, then, with the next release of the app, it will choose the highest resolution one.  Right now, it is kind of undefined which one will be selected if they can all direct play.

Ok, thanks for the update. Which app though? I see this behaviour in browsers as well. Any particular version that I should keep an eye out for?

He's referring to the android tv/fire tv app.
