Duplicate Display reason for "Bitrate exceeds DirectPlay limit"

[Jdiesel 1448]

The now playing view should display the reason for the MaxStreamingBitrate= selection. If the client is using Auto it should display "Auto", if the client is using a manual quality selection it should should the quality selection (10 Mbps).

 

With Auto Quality being broken it is helpful for admins to recognize when clients are using Auto and direct them to set a manual quality.

Admins can in newer versions of Emby force auto to be what they want it to be.



With it set, you can by the power of deduction know if it is a manual setting.

Yes I'm aware of that setting and it's nice to have but it's also applied across all devices. I don't want my users burning through their mobile data when watching on their phones because I set Auto to 20 Mbps.

Auto doesn't work anyway and defaults to a very low quality (can't remember the actual quality).
Auto should really be called default and not auto.
