Stream not having all available resolutions

[lawm0500 6]

I have a real stream for a news channel. It is supposed to be a 1080p stream, but Emby is only outputting up to 480p. It looks like a redirect issue because I am seeing 404 errors on the higher resolutions, but not the below ones. Will upload the ffmpeg log in a DM.

Hi, currently if we have to use ffmpeg, then we're subject to whatever stream it picks, which is usually the first one.

But depending on the format of the stream, sometimes we're able to handle it ourselves without ffmpeg, and when this happens, we'll take the highest quality one.

Ah, I see. It is a 1080p stream, but for some reason, according to Emby, it can't find the higher resolutions, probably something with the URL that ffmpeg is having a hard time to decode, and is only outputting at the lower resolution.

When we can process the stream ourselves, it will pick the highest quality. When the stream contains features that we haven't written our own support for yet, then that's when we have to use ffmpeg. In that situation, it may not always pick the highest quality. So we may have to make our own changes to ffmpeg for it.

Ok, yeah, that makes sense. Will have to see what happens, and run some tests.
