JWplayer always plays adaptive HLS in HD
Hi,
Can somebody explain me, why JWplayer plays always the HD stream of a HLS adaptive stream in HTML5? (Of course only if the available bandwidth is sufficient)
Here is an example on jwplayer's site: https://www.jwplayer.com/blog/hls-in-html5/
"Big Buck Bunny" is played in 720p, but in that embed size it should play 360p version.
I'm watching it on Windows 7 in Chrome and Firefox too.
This is the case with my stream too. It is always played in HD.
I have premium subcription and contacted support more then 6 weeks ago, but I don't get a competent answer from there, so I gave up.
Please somebody explain me this.
Is it a bug or a feature. If it's a feature, why?
Thank you.
