Library becoming un-usable. Not showing new movies added. Doesn't play best quality available.

[spp24k 1]

Previously, EMBY didn't cause problems when you had multiple versions of a media file. For instance, if you have a movie and you had the 480p, 1080p and 4k version, EMBY use to have 3 separate entries in the library for you to choose from. The current version of EMBY is collapsing each version into a single entry in the library and you have to manually choose which version you want to play. that's fine but It should default to the highest resolution when you go to watch the item. I can't imagine why that would not be the default case. You would want to give the user the best possible viewing experience. The reason why you might add a 480p is if you are viewing your library over a slow connection, or on a low resolution device, but allow the user to manually make the call to choose a lower resolution file instead of defaulting to it. 

 

I reported this problem almost 9 months ago and there still is not a fix. This seems like a basic fix caused by a regression in the newest releases. It makes EMBY almost not useable when you have a large library and are constantly adding to it. Is supporting users with large and growing libraries not a priority?
