xf90 youtube app not auto selecting best res.

[sparkes81]

Whenever i play a youtube vid recently im finding it is playing in a low resolution.

When i go to the settings in the app, 720 and 1080 are usually available but the vid is

highlighted as playing in a low res., even if 'Auto' is selected.

As soon as i manually select a higher res it plays fine.

Is this a known bug?

Right I have realised it plays the video when current/optimal Res is 2560x1440@60 / 3840x2160@60.

As soon as it changes to

3840/2160@60 / 3840/2160@60.

My screen goes black but sound continues?

Your internet bandwidth is not enough to play the video at 2160p60. Calculated bandwidth is ~31.6mbps. Required bandwidth for your particular video would be 32mbps.

Ok. I'll try a home plug see if this helps with ethernet cable. If not I'll get onto my isp provider. Thanks for replys

Might not always be the ISP. Can also be slow YouTube servers maybe? Or maybe your Wi-Fi? Dunno. For that video you should at least have 35mbps (see 'Connection Speed' in the nerd stats) or the YouTube app will probably not switch to 2160p.
