"Internet Quality" options have no logic in their labels.

Emby appears to select versions of files based on bitrate only and not resolution.

Therefore, why do you put the "4K" and "1080" labels in the "Internet Quality" dropdown when theres no logic behind the labels?

One would expect the logic be that Emby selects a version based off the selected resolution. 

If someone's server can't transcode 4K, then it makes Emby's "Auto Quality Selection Feature" useless. 

I believe either Emby supports their decision to just use bitrate and gets rid of the resolution labels, or a better solution imo, would be to support the users choice of resolution and add that logic to the dropdown.

Cheers.

I can't tell what you are asking or suggesting.

It's been discussed before and somewhat related to this FR.

Yes, I think it’s been discussed here multiple times and all have ended with no answer unfortunately. It should be using the max height logic that speechles is saying.

@knxvilleyou are TOTALLY CORRECT!  100X  This is nonsense.  I've asked about it before and didn't get any sensible answer.

How this was developed I can not imagine.

Why would it need to be based on height and not just max bitrate?

[knxville 3]

It should respect the users choice of resolution. Simple as that.

Anyone from Emby wish to chime in here? 
Cheers guys.
