Can't lower quality witn ATV app

[justinrh 260]

I sent app logs @ 11:30am CST, user home, from Shield.

I play an MP4 which direct plays.  Settings -> Quality -> 2Mbps (or any other value).  Playing almost immediately stops and a toast sometimes pops up for half a second (can't read it!!).  Why does this happen?

The web app does not do this.

Hi.  After you select the quality, make sure you use the back button to dismiss the menu instead of the left arrow.  Can you try this?

That doesn't make sense, ebr.  You have to select a quality level.  The menu self-dismisses when you select.  As soon as the new quality level is selected is when the problem happens.

Any idea what is in the three line toast?  (please fix the toast display time!)

Any toast we display stays up for several seconds.  Is your display, perhaps, trying to switch modes or something during this time (causing the display to cut out for a few seconds)?

ebr, I don't think you are following.  When the player stops, yes the display is changing - from the player back to the library (or home page).  The toast does need to be fixed, but it is secondary.  You know what, @Luke?  It would be nice if any toast msg was also pumped into the log file (it sounds like it is not now).

But, can we keep focus on the main issue about the quality level not working?

Can you try sideloading our standard android app on the same device and let us know how that compares?

@Luke The Android player worked well for this workflow.
